Abstract: An imaging apparatus and method determines distribution and a type of tissue attribute in a vascular cross section based on reflected wave data of ultrasound detected by an imaging core and interference light data including a reflected wave of light detected by the imaging core. A portion of match/mismatch is determined by comparing respectively classified vascular tissue attributes. Then, the distribution of the body tissue attributes is displayed by superimposing the distribution on any one of an ultrasound cross-sectional image, an optical interference cross-sectional image, and a composite image between the ultrasound cross-sectional image and the optical interference cross-sectional image, in a display form in which the match/mismatch can be identified.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus and method are disclosed, which processes an image of a target object. The image processing apparatus includes an image acquisition unit which acquires a series of first images and a series of second images of the target object which are scanned at a first pull-back speed and at a second pull-back speed faster than the first pull-back speed, a correlation unit which correlates first images, which are scanned at the first pull-back speed, with first images, which are scanned at the second pull-back speed, and a control unit which correlates a series of the first images which are scanned at the first pull-back speed and a series of the second images which are scanned at the second pull-back speed so as to display the images on a display apparatus, based on the result of the correlation.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus is disclosed for diagnosis, which can display a tomographic image of biological tissues using ultrasound waves and light, and wherein the imaging apparatus can accurately perform diagnosis on biological tissues, in which while a user is suppressing a visual loss between an ultrasound cross-sectional image and an optical cross-sectional image, the user can check his or her interest site in the biological tissues by using both the ultrasound cross-sectional image and the optical cross-sectional image, without changing the user's viewpoint position. Therefore, in a magnifier mode, a circular frame indicating a magnifier whose position can be freely changed by the user inside an image display region is displayed inside the image display region. Then, an IVUS cross-sectional image is displayed in a region outside the circular frame within the image display region, and a partial image of an OCT cross-sectional image is displayed inside the circular frame.

Abstract: A method of producing an electrode layer for a fuel cell, with which the electrode layer is produced by heating and drying an electrode paste (41) applied on a sheet-like base material (42). The method includes a process of heating the electrode paste from below the sheet-like base material. Vapor (74) produced above the electrode paste is removed by the heating to produce the electrode layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image display device including a display panel having a flat display surface; a mounting frame having an opening for mounting the display panel in the condition that the display surface is exposed to the opening, the mounting frame having an outer transparent portion and an inner opaque portion; and a cover frame for covering at least the boundary between the transparent portion and the opaque portion of the mounting frame. At least a part of the transparent portion of the mounting frame is opposed to at least a part of the periphery of the display panel, thereby forming a clear portion allowing the vision to the rear side of the display panel.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrode layer for a fuel cell includes applying a paste-form electrode material, having a solvent that includes an ion-exchange resin, to a sheet-form base, and evaporating the solvent on a front surface of a layer of the electrode material so that the concentration of the ion-exchange resin in the electrode material layer formed on the base increases from a front surface toward a reverse surface, opposed to the base, of the electrode material layer.
