  • Patent number: 11971510
    Abstract: A gel dosimeter for radiation dosimetry includes a radically polymerizable monomer, a gelator, glucose, and glucose oxidase. Although a conventional polymer gel dosimeter contains a deoxygenating agent such as tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride, such a deoxygenating agent fails to exhibit sufficient effects. Thus, a more effective deoxygenation treatment technique has been required for a gel dosimeter.

  • Publication number: 20240020469
    Abstract: Provided are a server apparatus and a client apparatus by which a plurality of users efficiently edits a shared document. If the version of a document to be edited by the client apparatus device differs from the version of a server document, the server apparatus newly determines the editing object for the server document on the basis of a command and a path included in an edit instruction transmitted by the client apparatus and a command and a path included in a historical record. After the document which is the version included in the edit instruction has been edited on the basis of the edit instruction, the server apparatus determines the editing object for the server document so as to match the editing result of a case where the post-editing document is edited on the basis of historical information.

  • Publication number: 20230012060
    Abstract: A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium stores an editing program including a set of program instructions for an information processing apparatus comprising a controller and an input interface. The set of program instructions, when executed by the controller, causes the information processing apparatus to perform: acquiring a plurality of strokes inputted via the input interface; calculating a distance between two strokes of the acquired plurality of strokes; in response to determining that the calculated distance is shorter than a distance threshold, recognizing the two strokes as a same item; in response to determining that the calculated distance is longer than or equal to the distance threshold, recognizing the two strokes as separate items; and changing the distance threshold based on input via the input interface.

  • Patent number: 11293568
    Abstract: A wiring harness 1 includes a wire 11, a binding band 20 to be wound on and fixed to the wire 11 and a housing 30 to be externally mounted on the wire 11. The housing 30 includes a restricting groove 46 for receiving the binding band 20. A displacement of the wire 11 with respect to the housing 30 is restricted by the binding band 20 being locked to a groove side surface 46A of the restricting groove 46. According to this configuration, manufacturing tolerances and assembling tolerances can be absorbed by setting certain clearances between the binding band 20 and the groove side surfaces 46A. Further, even if a tensile force is applied to the wire 11, the deviation of a winding position of the binding band 20 on the wire 11 can be suppressed.
