Abstract: A method for fitting a paper sheet includes a water absorption step of causing a region of the paper sheet to absorb water, the region being at least a part of the paper sheet; a placing step of placing the region of the paper sheet between one set of first molding surfaces of a press mold; a molding step of molding the region of the paper sheet into a three-dimensional shape, by closing the press mold; a layering step of layering another paper sheet that is not caused to absorb water on the molded paper sheet, after opening the press mold; a fitting step of fitting the molded paper sheet and the another paper sheet by closing the press mold to mold a laminate into a three-dimensional shape; and a removal step of removing a molded article including a fitting portion, after opening the press mold.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image data alignment method includes a step of generating a first CT data set 23 based on a first X-ray image data set 22, and a second CT data set 25 based on a second X-ray image data set 24; and a step of aligning the first CT data set 23 with the second CT data set 25 based on positioning elements 30 included in the first CT data set 23 and the second CT data set 25.

Abstract: A CT-device evaluation phantom to be placed between a light source for emitting a probe light and a two-dimensional detector when in use, including a ring-shaped supporting base and three or more absorbing objects whose transmittance to the probe light is equal to or lower than that of the supporting base. The CT-device evaluation phantom has a sufficient level of mechanical strength regardless of its size, and is also easy to create.

Abstract: A three-dimensional shape registration method includes a step of acquiring three-dimensional CT data of a subject and at least three positioning members, which are acquired by performing X-ray CT imaging on the positioning members together with the subject, a step of measuring relative positions between the subject and each of the positioning members, and a step of performing registration between the subject in the CT data and the subject in three-dimensional design data of the subject based on the CT data, the design data, and information on the relative positions.

Abstract: While a wafer having a front surface to which a thermocouple is attached is heated, a temperature of the front surface of the wafer is measured with the thermocouple and a temperature of a back surface thereof is measured with a back surface side radiation thermometer. Emissivity set to the back surface side radiation thermometer is corrected based on the temperature of the wafer measured with the thermocouple. Next, while the semiconductor wafer with a pattern on the front surface is heated, the temperature of the back surface and the temperature of the front surface of the semiconductor wafer are measured with the back surface side radiation thermometer and the front surface side radiation thermometer, respectively. Emissivity set to the front surface side radiation thermometer is corrected based on the temperature of the semiconductor wafer measured with the back surface side radiation thermometer.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of realizing energy usage management accompanied by authentication, with respect to an energy supplied from an energy output section and used in a supply target, without providing an additional apparatus in an energy output section is provided.

Abstract: A plurality of CT imaging conditions are created beforehand as presets, each preset is created beforehand as an icon, and each preset is associated with an icon and registered. Each icon is disposed in a CT imaging condition setting screen according to a spatial resolution and density resolution that serve as two-dimensional indexes relating to image quality. The selection of a given icon by a user results in the selection of the CT imaging conditions corresponding to the selected icon. The indexes relate to image quality and are two-dimensional, and this facilitates operation and makes it possible to intuitively select optimal CT imaging conditions with a small number of steps.

Abstract: An X-ray tube (X-ray focus) and an X-ray detector opposed to each other across an object synchronously scan the object to acquire radiographic data in each scan position. A section reconstruction method is provided in which the radiographic data or data resulting from a filtering process of the radiographic data is projected as back projection data back to a two-dimensional or three-dimensional reconstruction area virtually set to a region of interest of the object. Enlarged interpolation data is generated by interpolating the back projection data and then the enlarged interpolation data is projected back to the reconstruction area without interpolation. The number of interpolation computations is reduced to an amount corresponding to the enlargement by interpolation of the back projection data, to shorten the reconstruction computation time.
