Toyoshige Harada has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6674836
    Abstract: An X-ray computer tomography apparatus comprises a high-voltage transformer which performs the increase and noncontacting transmission of the power simultaneously and outputs a desired high voltage for causing X rays to be generated at the rotatable gantry section. The high-voltage transformer is divided into a primary-side which is provided on the static gantry section and to which the output of a frequency converting circuit is supplied and a secondary-side which generates a high voltage. A capacitor is connected to a secondary coil of the high-voltage transformer, thereby forming a resonance circuit.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5272612
    Abstract: An output voltage of an A.C. power source is input to an frequency converter and the frequency thereof is increased. A plurality of high voltage transformers of small capacity each of which has a secondary winding of a small number of turns and which are connected in parallel with one another are connected to an output terminal of the frequency converter. Outputs of the high voltage transformers are respectively connected to high voltage rectifier circuits. Outputs of the high voltage rectifier circuits are serially coupled, the output voltages thereof are added together, and the addition result is applied to an X-ray tube. Combinations of the high voltage transformers and the high voltage rectifier circuits are molded into units one or a preset number at a time with solid insulating material including gel insulating material.
