Abstract: A motor control device includes a pair of rotating members, a driving motor, and a timer-controller. The pair of rotating members nips and conveys a recording medium. The driving motor drives at least one rotating member of the pair of rotating members. The timer-controller calculates a time at which the recording medium passes through a nip formed by the pair of rotating members and controls the driving motor by correcting an excitation time of the driving motor near the time at which the recording medium passes through the nip formed by the pair of rotating members.

Abstract: A radiation image photographing apparatus configured to detect radiation includes a radiation detecting panel configured to convert received radiation into an electrical signal, and a support substrate configured to support the radiation detecting panel. In addition, a housing is configured to contain the radiation detecting panel and the support substrate. A plurality of openings are formed on a side of a surface of the support substrate, with the surface being opposite to a surface of the support substrate configured to support the radiation detecting panel.

Abstract: A novel method for immunosuppressive in a mammal suffering from an immune disease, including administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (I) (wherein X or other variables are as defined in the specification) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is disclosed. A novel heterocyclic compound represented by the general formula (II) (wherein X or other variables are as defined in the specification) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is also disclosed.

Abstract: A radiographic imaging apparatus includes a holding unit which detachably holds an imaging unit for detecting radiation generated by a radiation generation unit and acquiring a radiographic image, a detachment restriction unit which restricts detachment of the imaging unit from the holding unit, and a controller which cancels the restriction by the detachment restriction unit when a grip detection unit for detecting gripping of the imaging unit detects the gripping on the imaging unit.

Abstract: In a radiation imaging apparatus having a radiation generator, an imaging unit including a detecting unit for detecting radiation to generate a radiation imagedata, a carriage for carrying the radiation generator, and an operating unit for providing an interface to a user, it is decided whether the radiation imaging apparatus is in a moving state or not. When it is decided that the radiation imaging apparatus is in a moving state, the operation function of the operating unit for the radiation detector and the imaging unit is limited.

Abstract: The present invention relates to heterocyclic compounds represented by the formula I or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and antitumor agents containing the heterocyclic compounds as effective components: wherein X represents nitrogen atom or CH; R1 represents CHnF3-n (wherein n is 1 or 2), hydroxy C1-C6 alkyl, NHR6 [wherein R6 represents hydrogen atom or COR (wherein R represents hydrogen atom, C1-C6 alkyl or C1-C6 alkoxy)]; R2 represents morpholino (which may be substituted with one to four C1-C6 alkyl), thiomorpholino, piperidino, pyrrolidinyl (which may be substituted with hydroxy C1-C6 alkyl), oxazolidinyl (which may be substituted with one or two C1-C6 alkyl) or tetrahydro-1,4-thiazin-1-oxo-4-yl; R3 and R4 each represent hydrogen atom or C1-C6 alkyl; and R5 represents hydrogen atom, amino or hydroxyl.

Abstract: A take-out device includes a take-out mechanism which takes out postal matters supplied to a take-out position at one end of a deposit section one by one, a separating mechanism which separates second and subsequent postal matters that are carried along with a postal matter to be taken out from the take-out position, and an auxiliary mechanism which applies a negative pressure to the postal matter on the take-out position so as to feed it in both forward and opposite directions. The separating mechanism applies a negative pressure to the postal matter on the conveyance path via a plurality of adsorption holes of a separating roller so as to adsorb it, and applies a separating torque in an opposite direction to the take-out direction thereto.

Abstract: The present application describes a method of treating prostate cancer, melanoma or hepatic cancer in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of the heterocyclic compound represented by Formula I or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt:

Abstract: A sheet takeout device includes a takeout belt brought into contact with a sheet set in a takeout position to generate negative pressure to adsorb the sheet, and traveled in a direction of an arrow T, and a separation roller which separates second and following sheets associatively taken out with the sheet. Triggered by detection of its leading end at a second sensor, an opposite-direction separation force is applied to the sheet to be conveyed via the separation roller.

Abstract: A radiographic apparatus includes a detection section including photoelectric conversion elements that detect radiation that has been transmitted through a subject. The apparatus has a substantially rectangular detection surface; and a housing that contains the detection section. The housing has a handle in an area along a longer side of the detection surface when viewed along a direction normal to the detection surface.

Abstract: A portable radiographic imaging apparatus is provided which includes a system for facilitating proper alignment of a capturing section of the apparatus with a ray source while a subject is positioned therebetween. The apparatus includes a sensor having an effective capturing area which includes devices for converting rays into electrical signals; a casing enclosing the sensor; and portions formed on the casing for indicating a target capturing area aligned with and having a shape similar to the effective capturing area. A boundary of the effective capturing area is perceivable by touching the portions, thereby allowing an operator to recognize offset between the subject and the capturing section during alignment/positioning of the capturing section with respect to the subject and the ray source.

Abstract: This patent specification describes an image forming apparatus which includes a first member having a surface endlessly moving in a specific direction a second member having a surface endlessly moving in the specific direction at a region facing the surface of the first member, and a supporting member to hold the second member and to move together with the second member. The supporting member includes a release mechanism to release an engagement of the supporting member from the second member. Further, a pressing member is included to press the second member via the supporting member to cause the second member to contact the first member under pressure to form a nip between the first and second members. The release mechanism releases the engagement of the supporting member from the second member when the second member is pushed away by a leading edge of a recording medium having a thickness greater than a reference thickness value.
