  • Publication number: 20180368797
    Abstract: A radiographic image capturing system is described. If a hardware processor determines that an image processor and an image analyzing unit are capable of sharing image data via an identical memory, the image processor stores image data in the memory and the image analyzing unit analyzes the image data with reference to the memory. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wired network, the image processor transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit analyzes the data. If the hardware processor determines that the image processor and the image analyzing unit can send and receive the data via a wireless network, the image processor compresses the data or decimates partial data and transfers the data to the image analyzing unit, and the image analyzing unit decompresses and analyzes the data.

  • Patent number: 10115999
    Abstract: An all-solid-state lithium-ion secondary battery includes a cathode active material, an anode active material, a solid electrolyte between the cathode and anode active materials, and an intermediate layer between the solid electrolyte and the cathode active material. The cathode and anode active materials are able to store and release a lithium ion. The solid electrolyte has lithium ion conductivity. The intermediate layer is constituted of elements including all elements constituting the cathode active material. A lithium ion in the intermediate layer is less ionic than that in the cathode active material.

  • Patent number: 9872660
    Abstract: A medical diagnostic imaging system includes an X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus and an image processing apparatus to reconstruct one or more moire images produced in the X-ray Talbot imaging apparatus into a plurality of types of medical diagnostic images. The image processing apparatus classifies the medical diagnostic images generated based on the same moire image(s) into a group and outputs the group of medical diagnostic images as a unit to the outside.

  • Patent number: 9855018
    Abstract: Provided are a diagnostic medical image system and the like which enable diagnostic medical images generated in either an imaging system used for general imaging or an imaging system which includes a Talbot imaging device to be accurately associated with imaging order information. In the diagnostic medical image system, a controller groups a plurality of types of diagnostic medical images reconstructed and generated on the basis of a plurality of image signals captured by a second imaging system equipped with a Talbot imaging device and transmits the group to a console; and the console associates one diagnostic medical image generated from one image signal acquired from a first imaging system equipped with an X-ray imaging device with the imaging order information corresponding thereto and, by the same associating method, associates the grouped plurality of types of diagnostic medical images transmitted from the controller with the imaging order information corresponding thereto.
