  • Publication number: 20240136034
    Abstract: There are provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, an endoscope system, and a report creation support device which can efficiently input information on a treatment name. The information processing apparatus includes a first processor. The first processor acquires an image captured using an endoscope, displays the acquired image in a first region on a screen of a first display unit, detects a treatment tool from the acquired image, chooses a plurality of treatment names corresponding to the detected treatment tool, displays the plurality of chosen treatment names in a second region on the screen of the first display unit, and accepts selection of one treatment name from among the plurality of displayed treatment names.

  • Patent number: 11959151
    Abstract: Provided is a method for separating copper from nickel and cobalt, which is capable of efficiently and selectively separating copper, and nickel and cobalt from an alloy containing copper, nickel and cobalt such as a highly anticorrosive alloy that is obtained by subjecting a waste lithium ion battery to a dry treatment and contains copper, nickel and cobalt. According to the present invention, an alloy containing copper, nickel and cobalt is brought into contact with an acid in the coexistence of a sulfurization agent, thereby obtaining a solid that contains copper and a leachate that contains nickel and cobalt.

  • Patent number: 6604374
    Abstract: In a cooling apparatus, air within a room is first introduced into a radiator-type adsorber (1), where moisture contained in the air is adsorbed by A-type silica gel. The resulting low-humidity air is subsequently introduced into a desorption cooler (5), where moisture is desorbed from B-type silica gel, thereby humidifying and cooling the air. The resulting low-temperature air is then used for cooling. When a cooling capacity of the cooling apparatus is lowered, air from a heat source is introduced into the radiator-type adsorber (1), where the moisture is desorbed from the A-type silica gel, thereby recovering the adsorbability thereof. The high-humidity air resulting from the desorption of the moisture is subsequently introduced into the desorption cooler (5), where the moisture contained in the air is adsorbed by the B-type silica gel, thereby recovering the desorption cooling capacity thereof.
