  • Patent number: 11977036
    Abstract: An inspection device inspects of goods that include plural articles that sometimes overlap each other. An X-ray inspection device irradiates goods containing plural articles having a predetermined shape and inspects the goods on the basis of inspection images obtained from radiation that has passed through the goods or radiation that has reflected off the goods. The X-ray inspection device includes a storage component, a learning component, and an inspection component. The storage component stores, as teaching images, at least the inspection images of the goods that are in a state in which the plural articles overlap each other. The learning component acquires, by machine learning using the teaching images stored in the storage component, features relating to the goods that are in a state in which the plural articles overlap each other. The inspection component inspects the goods using the features that the learning component has acquired.

  • Publication number: 20240126935
    Abstract: A data processing system according to the present disclosure includes an acquisition unit and a production unit. The acquisition unit acquires on-site investigation data related to the space. The production unit changes, with respect to article data of the article to be placed in the space, at least one of a dimension, design, and a function on the basis of the on-site investigation data so as to achieve harmony with the space and produces article processing data for processing the article according to the article data after the change. The on-site investigation data includes space-related data related to the space. The production unit produces the article processing data on the basis of the space-related data.

  • Publication number: 20240075635
    Abstract: An end effector includes an imaging device, first and second contact-move members for grabbing a target object, an actuator, and a control device. When, in an image captured by the imaging device, the target object is located within a target-object-grabbing area between a first-contact-move-member-passage area through which a distal end portion of the first contact-move member passes and a second-contact-move-member-passage area through which a distal end portion of the second contact-move member passes in a predetermined-shaped obstacle exclusion area including the target object, the control device adjusts positions of the first contact-move member and the second contact-move member such that the first and second contact-move members pass through the obstacle exclusion area when the end effector moves to a grabbing position.

  • Patent number: 10157465
    Abstract: A medical information processing system according to an embodiment includes a storage, and processing circuitry. The storage stores therein a mammography image of a breast of a patient and information indicating an image taking direction of the mammography image. The processing circuitry sets a region of interest in the mammography image. The processing circuitry specifies position information of the region of interest in a schematic drawing that schematically expresses the breast, on the basis of position information of the region of interest in the mammography image and the information indicating the image taking direction. The processing circuitry outputs the position information of the region of interest in the schematic drawing.

  • Patent number: 5557542
    Abstract: The connections among a plurality of dynamic image generating means, a plurality of work stations, a plurality of temporary storage means and a plurality of video tape recorders are switched from one to another a matrix switcher, so that the number of the video tape recorders may be smaller than the total number of the dynamic image generating means and the work stations. The dynamic image generating means are connected via the temporary storage means to the video tape recorders, and the video tape recorders are connected via the temporary storage means to the work stations, so that wait time at the time of image recording or reproduction can be shortened.

  • Patent number: 5546440
    Abstract: An X-ray diagnostic apparatus repeatedly radiates pulse-like X-rays, repeatedly images X-rays passing through an object to be examined at a predetermined frame period, and sequentially displays a plurality of images thus obtained repeatedly. In this invention, the exposure dose can be reduced since the number of X-ray irradiation times per unit time is set to be smaller than the number of frames to be imaged per unit time.

  • Patent number: 5296937
    Abstract: In a diagnostic X-ray apparatus, an image signal output from a TV camera connected to an image intensifier tube is supplied to a noise reducer through an A/D converter. The noise reducer comprises a first recursive filter for adding a value which is (1-a) times the input to the noise reducer and a value which is a times an output of the first recursive filter (a factor a is fixed to a value close to 1), a second recursive filter for adding a value which is (1-k) times the output of said fluoroscopy means and a value which is k times the output of the first recursive filter, a subtracter for subtracting the output of the second recursive filter from the input to the noise filter for every pixel, and a factor table for setting the factor k of the second recursive filter in accordance with the difference obtained by the subtracter such that the factor k and the difference have an inverse proportional relationship if the difference has a positive value.

  • Patent number: 5161178
    Abstract: Image data of a plurality of frames obtained upon irradiating a radiation onto an object to be examined, the object being injected with a catheter in a blood vessel thereof, are converted into digital image of a plurality of frames by an A/D. Digital image data of a first predetermined frame and digital image data of a second predetermined frame prior to the first predetermined frame, which are converted by the A/D, are alternately stored in first and second memories. A difference between the digital image data of the first predetermined frame output from the A/D and the digital image data of the second predetermined frame output from the one of first and second memories is calculated by a subtractor to obtain subtraction image data denoting a motion of the catheter.
