Abstract: The present disclosure intends to facilitate tearing a metal sheath even in a case where the metal sheath is incorporated in an optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable of the present disclosure includes a cable core arranged at a central portion and accommodating a plurality of optical fibers gathered together, an inner layer sheath arranged on an outer circumference of the cable core and sheathing the cable core, a metal sheath arranged on an outer circumference of the inner layer sheath and wound around the inner layer sheath, an outer layer sheath arranged on an outer circumference of the metal sheath and sheathing the metal sheath, and at least one outer sheath tearing string arranged in a longitudinal direction inside the metal sheath.

Abstract: An optical cable includes: twisted optical fiber units each including a fiber group formed by optical fibers. At least one of the optical fiber units includes a filling that wraps an outer circumference of the fiber group.

Abstract: A display control device including a display and a processor configured to acquire a first image of an object and a second image of the same object as the first image; display the first image including one or more of first regions of interest and the second image including one or more of second regions of interest on the display; receive designation of a position in the first image displayed on the display; specify a designated first region of interest and a designated second region of interest corresponding to the designated first region of interest on the basis of the designation of the position, wherein, in a case in which the processor receives the designation of the position with a state that a plurality of first regions of interest or a plurality of second regions of interest are present in at least one of the first image or the second image, the processor is further configured to display the designated second region of interest so as to be highlighted on the display.

Abstract: An exoskeleton leg is wearable by a person. The exoskeleton includes a thigh link configured to move in unison with the thigh of the person, a shank link rotatably coupled to the thigh link and comprising at least one tooth, and a locking block coupled to the thigh link and comprising a locking face. Moreover, when the at least one tooth of the shank link contacts with the locking face, the shank link is prevented from flexion motion relative to the thigh link, but is allowed to extend relative to the thigh link.

Abstract: There are provided a radiation imaging system and a transmission device capable of reducing a user's standby time compared to a case where a tomographic image is transmitted. A console acquires a plurality of projection images obtained by tomosynthesis imaging, generates a plurality of tomographic images by reconstruction using the plurality of projection images, synthesizes a 2-dimensional image based on the plurality of tomographic images, transmits the synthesized 2-dimensional image to an image interpretation support device, and transmits the plurality of projection images to the image interpretation support apparatus.

Abstract: A leg support exoskeleton is strapped on as a wearable device to support its user during squatting and/or lunging. The exoskeleton includes a knee joint connected to a first link and a second link, which is configured to allow flexion and extension motion between the first link and the second link. A force generator has a first end that is rotatable connected to the first link. A constraining mechanism is connected to the second link and has at least two operational positions. In a first operational position, the second end of the force generator engages the constraining mechanism, where the first link and the second link flex relative to each other. In a second operational position, the second end of the force generator does not engage the constraining mechanism; the first link and the second link are free to flex and extend relative to each other.

Abstract: In a medical image managing system, there are first and second density conversion modes. In the first density conversion mode, a medical image is processed in density conversion by an image server, before a density-converted medical image is transmitted to a client terminal. In the second density conversion mode, a medical image is transmitted from the image server to the client terminal, which processes the medical image in the density conversion. A density conversion mode checker compares processing time of the first density conversion mode with processing time of the second density conversion mode after acquisition according to communication speed between the image server and the client terminal, and processing speeds of the client terminal and the image server. One of the density conversion modes with the shorter processing time is selected. Thus, the density-converted medical image can be displayed rapidly at the client terminal.
