  • Patent number: 10976397
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes a memory storing a predetermined program and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry configured, by executing the predetermined program, to generate a first image based on first data acquired from an object with Ultrashort TE (UTE), generate a second image based on second data acquired from the object with non-UTE, generate a mask image from the second image, and perform mask processing, by using the mask image, to remove or reduce an undesired signal around the object depicted in the first image.

  • Publication number: 20190294826
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus has security information management circuitry that manages a plurality of pieces of unencrypted key information in plaintext, and a first controller that instructs the security information management circuitry to encrypt and decrypt data using at least one of the plurality of pieces of key information and performs control to transmit and receive the encrypted data. The security information management circuitry has a volatile first memory that stores first key information for encrypting data to be transmitted and received and second key information for encrypting the first key information, and a nonvolatile second memory that stores third key information for encrypting the first key information and the second key information. The first controller performs control to store, before power supply voltage to the security information management circuitry is cut off, encryption information of the first key information and encryption information of the second key information.

  • Publication number: 20180064403
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a display and processing circuitry. The display displays a relationship diagram indicating a relationship between values which are respectively set for imaging parameters relating to an imaging condition of medical imaging. The processing circuitry updates the relationship diagram in accordance with a moving operation of a point corresponding to each of the values on the relationship diagram, or a change operation of the imaging condition. The processing circuitry changes the imaging condition before the moving operation or the change operation to an imaging condition which reflects the moving operation or the change operation.

  • Patent number: 9849698
    Abstract: A separation unit (10) of a label printer includes a metal nip roller shaft (11), a resin nip roller (12) disposed at a center part of the nip roller shaft and is supported so as to be rotatable around the nip roller shaft, and resin supporters (13) that support both ends of the nip roller shaft. The separation unit (10) is attached to the body case (2) to be relatively movable between the normal ejection position and the separation ejection position. Each of the pair of supporters has a part protruding toward the nip roller, and this part is a roller holder (13d) to insert an end of the nip roller shaft. The roller holder and the supporter are integrally formed for enhanced strength of the supporter.
