  • Patent number: 11534119
    Abstract: An analysis apparatus according to an embodiment includes an extraction unit, a calculation unit, and an evaluation unit. The extraction unit extracts a detection value in a tumor region, a blood region, and a muscle region from a nuclear medicine image of a subject administered with a drug containing a radiolabeled anticancer drug that works by accumulating in a tumor. The calculation unit calculates a first comparison value that is a comparison result between the detection value in the blood region and the detection value in the tumor region, and a second comparison value that is a comparison result between the detection value in the muscle region and the detection value in the tumor region. The evaluation unit evaluates an accumulation of the drug in the tumor, based on the first comparison value and the second comparison value calculated by the calculation unit.

  • Patent number: 5213047
    Abstract: An improved propulsion system for a magnetically levitated vehicle comprising a vehicle mounted superconductor coil and a propulsion coil comprising an inner and outer coil wherein the levels of mutual inductance developed between the inner propulsion coil and the superconductor coil is about the same as the mutual inductance developed between the outer propulsion coil and the superconductor coil.

  • Patent number: 4913059
    Abstract: A levitation, propulsion and guidance mechanism for an inductive repulsion-type magnetically levitated railway in which a vehicle runs along a track bed has superconducting coils fixedly arranged vertically on both sides of the truck of the vehicle at predetermined intervals therealong in a direction of travel of the vehicle. Propulsion coils are arranged on opposed walls of the track bed at predetermined intervals therealong in the direction of travel of said vehicle, and a propulsion power supply is connected to the propulsion conductor coils. Levitation-guidance conductor coils, each comprising upper and lower conductor coils positioned to have vertical symmetry, are disposed on sides of the propulsion conductor coils facing the superconducting coils and are arranged at predetermined intervals along the direction of travel of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4779538
    Abstract: A levitation-propulsion mechanism for an inductive repulsion type magnetically levitated railway having a vehicle with a truck and a track with a U-shaped cross-section with spaced opposed walls between which the truck runs, has a plurality of vertically positioned superconducting coils on both sides of the truck at intervals therealong in the direction of travel of the vehicle. Guidance coils are mounted on the inside surfaces of the walls of the track at intervals therealong in the direction of travel of the vehicle and opposed to the corresponding superconducting coils. Upper and lower levitation coils are positioned adjacent to the guidance conductor coils and opposed to the superconducting coils, the upper and lower coils being symmetrically positioned above and below, respectively, a horizontal line through the center of the guidance coils, and the upper and lower conductor coils are null-flux connected in a closed circuit.

  • Patent number: 4273054
    Abstract: In an induced repulsion type magnetic suspension system for a railway vehicle, superconductive magnets of opposite polarities are alternately set at specific intervals in the longitudinal direction of vehicle, while in the longitudinal direction of the track conductive loop coils or conductive sheets are continuously set at specific intervals, whereby the repulsion due to the eddy current caused by a voltage induced in said conductive loop coils or conductive sheets by the superconductive magnets and said superconductive magnets levitates the vehicle. In this invention, an additional source to produce a magnetic field of the same polarity is provided on the vehicle; and thereby a magnetic flux with the same period as the vehicle vibration is applied which intersects said conductive loop coils or conductive sheets on the ground when the vehicle vibrates.
