Abstract: [Problems] Provision of a system for assisting diagnosis/treatment of stroke which can easily provide supportive information so that the type of stroke can be determined appropriately and corresponding treatment strategy can be implemented. [Solutions] When the device for assisting diagnosis/treatment of stroke 101 acquires information of CT images, DWI, ADCmap, and MRA images indicating state of stroke from the device for providing information about state of stroke 103, it uses the acquired information of images and the information about laboratory findings to determine the type of stroke in a unit of stroke type determiner trained to use the predetermined information of images and the predetermined information about laboratory findings to determine the type of stroke corresponding thereto.

Abstract: Lateral frames of the disclosed mold can be replaced easily and rapidly without disassembling a continuous casting machine, so as to improve the operational efficiency and to reduce the cost. The mold comprises a fixed longitudinal frame and a movable longitudinal frame which can be opened/closed by remote control, and a pair of fixed lateral frame members to which variable lateral frame members securely joined with lateral copper plates are detachably attached. A bracket provided on each of the variable lateral frame members is brought into engagement with a bracket receiving recess formed in each of the fixed lateral frame members in order to position the lower end portions of the lateral frame members. After that, the upper end portions of them are securely fixed by clamping means. Thus, the lateral frame members are integrally joined so that a mold cooling water supply/drain pipe and a spray water supply pipe for a foot shoe are connected to water conduits in the variable lateral frame member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of making a concavo-convex pattern such as a fingerprint on a given sheet without soiling the pattern with color, and a set for making the pattern.

Abstract: A casting method and apparatus making use of a twin belt caster which has an upper belt, a lower belt and dam members disposed between both opposing longitudinal edges of the upper and lower belts. The upper belt, lower belt and dam members in cooperation provide a continuous casting mold which is inclined at a predetermined angle from the horizontal plane and into which a melt of steel is poured. The lower belt provides a smaller cooling effect than the upper belt so that the solidification of the melt is retarded in the region near the lower belt as compared with the region near the upper belt.

Abstract: An endless track continuous casting machine having a pair of upper and lower endless belts facing each other in a spaced apart relationship and travelling in a downwardly slanted direction which form the long side walls of a mold. Dam blocks continuously and closely disposed and pinched between both side edges of the pair of endless belts and each supported by a link forming part of an endless chain wound around sprockets disposed on each side of the pair of endless belts form the short side walls of the mold. The dam blocks are mounted on each of the links of the endless chain to be movable inwardly and outwardly, and they are guided by a guiding mechanism to a projecting position when entering the advancing path of the mold and are guided to a set back position when entering the returning route. This guiding mechanism is adjustable to change the projected position of each dam block while the endless chain is moving, thus enabling the width of a cast piece to be altered without stopping the casting work.

Abstract: Herein disclosed is a loop type continuous metal casting machine in which two side dams are revolved in a loop passing along a casting zone from the entrance end thereof between upper and lower endless revolving casting belts to define a downhill moving mold and in which each of the side dams is formed of a multiplicity of metal dam blocks so strung onto a flexible metal strap loop that the metal dam blocks abut in end-to-end relationship against one another but are allowed to slide on and relative to the metal strap loop.
