Abstract: A system for calibrating a moisture sensor encompasses a processing unit (341). The processing unit (341) includes a reference data obtaining LCKT (345), a subject data obtaining LCKT (346) and a relationship calculating LCKT (347). The reference data obtaining LCKT (345) obtains reference data, after injecting water-vapor with known concentrations into an analyzer. The subject data obtaining LCKT (346) measures subject data indicating temporal variation of output-responses of a subject sensor element of the analyzer under test. The relationship calculating LCKT (347) compares the subject data with the reference data, and calculates relationships between the output-responses of the subject sensor element and the known concentrations.

Abstract: An ultrasound endoscope includes an insertion part including a distal end part having an ultrasound transducer array, a cable inserted into the insertion part, and a substrate, including electrode pads connected to the ultrasound transducers, respectively, that electrically connects the ultrasound transducers and the cable, and is disposed in the distal end part. The cable has a non-coaxial cable including a first cable bundle consisting of signal wires and ground wires, a first shield layer coating the first cable bundle, and an outer coat coating a second cable bundle consisting of the non-coaxial cables. Each first cable bundle is individually led out from the cable, and each signal wire is electrically connected to the corresponding electrode pad. The ultrasound transducers are configured in drive units and driven simultaneously. A signal wire group includes at least two kinds of signal wires different in length from a distal end of the first cable bundle.
