  • Patent number: 11882377
    Abstract: A control device includes: generation circuitry configured to output a field signal to a medical imaging device; first detection circuitry configured to detect a horizontal synchronization signal from video data output from the medical imaging device, the video data including at least the horizontal synchronization signal; and a monitoring circuitry configured to monitor whether or not an abnormality occurs in one frame period of the video data based on a period of the horizontal synchronization signal detected by the first detection circuitry for a predetermined n-th time after polarity of the field signal is switched.

  • Patent number: 9641827
    Abstract: A controller for a 3D observation apparatus performing 3D observation based on parallax using a plurality of optical systems includes the following sections. A start time acquisition section obtains a start time when energization of the 3D observation apparatus is started. An interrupted time acquisition section obtains an interrupted time when previous energization of the 3D observation apparatus is interrupted. A non-active time calculation section calculates a non-active time which is a period of time between the interrupted time and the start time. A determination section determines whether or not misalignment correction to correct misalignment of optical axes of the optical systems is necessary based on the non-active time.

  • Patent number: 7623395
    Abstract: A buffer circuit includes a storage unit having a first storage capacity that stores data based on a write request inputted from an outside and outputs the data in an order in which the data was written, based on a read request inputted from the outside. And a second storage capacity in the first storage capacity which is used to store the data is adjusted based on an amount of valid data which has been written into the storage unit but has not been read from the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 6403007
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a plate boehmite and a plate alumina having high catalytic activity. The plate boehmite is prepared by subjecting at least one kind of an alkaline earth metal compound, which is selected from calcium, strontium and barium, and aluminum hydroxide to pressurization and heating at 150 to 300° C. in the presence of water. The resulting reaction product is treated with an acid to remove the residual alkaline earth metal compound contained in the product, followed by rinsing with water. The resulting plate boehmite is subjected to calcination at 450 to 1500° C. Thus, a plate alumina comprising a mixture of &thgr;-alumina and &dgr;-alumina as a major component is prepared.
