Abstract: A treatment device includes an indwelling device including a treatment portion, and a tubular member including a proximal-end opening and in which a proximal-end portion of the treatment portion is disposed. The treatment device further includes an actuator including a connector releasably connected to a proximal-end portion of the treatment portion, and a power transmission member connected to the connector for moving the connector. The treatment portion can be fixed with respect to the tubular member when the power transmission member is retracted such that connector pulls the proximal-end portion of the treatment portion in a proximal direction to a predetermined position. The treatment device also includes a regulation portion for regulating a displacement of the connector in a direction separating from a longitudinal axis of the tubular member in the state in which the connector pulls the proximal-end portion towards the predetermined position.

Abstract: Clip unit with a clip having a plurality of arms that can be opened and closed, a distal end connecting portion that is releasably connected to the clip, a proximal end connecting portion that is connected to a power transmission member; and a rod-shaped portion that longitudinally connects the distal end connecting portion and the proximal end connecting portion. In a cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the rod-shaped portion has a first length in a first direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction that is shorter than a second length in a second direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the first direction.

Abstract: A clip delivery device includes a clip, a first tube configured to store the clip when the clip is closed; a second tube coupled to a proximal end of the first tube; a hook configured to hook a proximal end portion of the clip; a wire coupled to the hook, the wire is configured to pull the hook in a longitudinal direction thereof; an elongated portion coupled to a proximal end of the second tube, the elongated portion having the wire inserted therethrough; and an operating portion coupled to a proximal end of the elongated portion, the operating portion being configured to operate the wire, wherein the hook includes at least one structural mechanism that is configured to suppress rattling that occurs when the proximal end portion of the clip is pulled into the second tube.

Abstract: A medical device, a clip unit, and a method for indwelling a clip unit. The medical device includes a treatment portion, an operation wire that can operate the treatment portion, and a link that can releasably connect the treatment portion and the operation wire. The link includes a hook that includes first and second deformation portions, and a base that can be releasably coupled to the hook. The first deformation portion is capable of being deformed by movement of the operation wire, and the second deformation portion is capable of being deformed by further movement of the operation portion after the first deformation portion is deformed.

Abstract: An image forming device for forming an image on an image forming medium on which a storage medium is mounted, which comprises a reading portion that reads charging level information from an image forming medium on which a storage medium storing the charging level information of pay content information is mounted, and an image forming controller that allows formation of an image on the image forming medium of the pay content information in a range indicated by the charging level information read by the reading portion.

Abstract: A computer system such as a debugging system for a microcomputer system includes a display unit and a supervisor for receiving at least one of the plurality of status data from the microcomputer system independently from the execution of a program in the microcomputer system and displaying the read status data on the display unit. The microcomputer system includes the plurality of peripheral circuits respectively having status flags, each of which stores the status data of the corresponding peripheral circuit, and a CPU executing the program. The status data are updated as the execution of the program and the CPU can read the status data of each of the status flags. An emulation control circuit generates a status clock signal independently from the execution of the program by the CPU and a selector sequentially and repeatedly selects one of the plurality of status data in response to the status clock signal to output the selected status data to the supervisor.

Abstract: A microcomputer according to the present invention is provided with a memory space judgment device to judge whether an access to a memory by the central processing unit is for the internal memory or the external memory. The memory space judgment device has a memory space switching flag serving as a boundary address change mechanism so that the boundary address between the memory mapping region for the internal memory and the memory mapping region for the external memory can be changed by changing the values at the flag. Thus, the region assigned to the internal memory space can be changed to the external memory space, or the region assigned to the external memory space to the internal memory space.

Abstract: An instruction executing unit reads the address of a bug and a corrected program from an external memory through an interface, and stores the bug address and the corrected program in a register and a RAM, respectively. When the execution address of a program reaches the bug address, data of a program counter agree with the data in the register, whereupon a comparator outputs a selection signal to cause a selector to select a branch instruction generator, which supplies a branch instruction to the instruction executing unit. The instruction executing unit executes the branch instruction, thereby causing branching off to the corrected program stored in the RAM and execution of the corrected program.

Abstract: An emulation system which includes an evaluation chip, a program memory and a data memory and is coupled to an external memory comprises an area discriminator for discriminating whether or not a location to be accessed by the evaluation chip is within an on-chip area of a target microcomputer and notifying the evaluation chip of the result of discrimination. On the basis of the result of discrimination, the evaluation chip operates to access the data memory when the space to be accessed by the evaluation chip is within the on-chip area of the target microcomputer and the external memory when the space to be accessed by the evaluation chip is not within the on-chip area of the target microcomputer.
