  • Publication number: 20240029399
    Abstract: An image recognition support apparatus includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires an image; an image recognition unit that detects an object included in the image using an object detection model; and a detection result processing unit that generates one or more expanded image queries indicating a partial image of the image including the object, and sets a combination having a high similarity calculated using an image language model trained on a relationship between an image and an attribute including a state or situation among combinations of an expanded image query and an expanded language query indicating one or more language labels, as a detected object and an attribute detail label of the object.

  • Patent number: 11413403
    Abstract: Provided is an infusion system including: a liquid container that accommodates a blood derivative; a heating device that heats the blood derivative; an air bubble removal chamber that removes air bubbles in the blood derivative; a first flow path that connects the liquid container and the heating device to each other; a second flow path that connects the heating device and the air bubble removal chamber to each other; a third flow path that connects the air bubble removal chamber and an infusion unit to each other; a fourth flow path that connects the air bubble removal chamber and the liquid container to each other; a first pump provided in the first flow path; and a second pump provided in the third flow path. The heating device has a heating flow path where the blood derivative flows and a heat supply body that contacts the heating flow path.

  • Patent number: 8758603
    Abstract: A plasma purifying device is provided that is capable of recovering blood and plasma remaining within the plasma purifying device easily and without risk of coagulation, following completion of plasma purification therapy. The plasma purifying device has a control unit controls flow rates of the air pump and a plasma pump so that a pressure of the filtration side space of the plasma separator is higher than a pressure of the blood side space while delivering blood to the blood side space of the plasma separator by continuing to operate a blood pump without stopping following completion of plasma purification and then delivers plasma remaining in a filtration side space of a plasma separator to a blood side space of the plasma separator or to a plasma circuit by supplying air from an air pump.
