  • Patent number: 10265754
    Abstract: Provided is a fixing sleeve making it possible to reduce the surface roughness of the inner circumferential surface of the fixing sleeve by spinning, and a method for manufacturing the fixing sleeve. The spinning is performed by moving rollers, in the axial direction of a cup-shaped tubular body and, at the same time, a burnishing tool (spherical tool) is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the cup-shaped tubular body after the spinning, and the burnishing tool is moved in the same direction as the rollers. The cup-shaped tubular body is plastically deformed in the axial direction of the cup-shaped tubular body, reduced in wall thickness, and elongated in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 10149656
    Abstract: A radiographic image capturing system includes the following. A capturing stand includes a holder to hold radiographic image capturing devices. A radiation irradiator is able to irradiate the radiographic image capturing devices at once. An image processor generates images based on image data acquired by the radiographic image capturing devices. The image processor removes a structural component derived from the front radiographic image capturing device, on the basis of a calibration image and the generated image. The calibration image is preliminarily generated based on the image data acquired by the rear radiographic image capturing device with no subject disposed. The generated image is generated based on the image data acquired by the rear radiographic image capturing device during actual image capturing. The image processor removes a streaky component residing in the generated image.
