  • Patent number: 11191524
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires first echo data in a first mode, and acquires second echo data in a second mode. The processing circuitry sequentially generates a first image including a B-mode image based on the first echo data in the first mode, and sequentially generates a second image not including a B-mode image based on the second echo data in the second mode. The processing circuitry sequentially generates a third image from pre-acquired volume data. The processing circuitry directs a display to sequentially display the first image and the third image in the first mode, and to sequentially display the second image and the third image in the second mode.

  • Patent number: 11173480
    Abstract: A catalyst includes a carrier, and a metal obtained by reducing a metal ion supported on the carrier 1) in a supercritical state or 2) in a polar organic solvent, wherein the carrier is an inorganic porous body having a hierarchical porous structure. By employing the catalyst, it is possible to exhibit better catalytic activity than a conventional catalyst. Heat generation and spontaneous ignition are prevented because no organic porous body is used.

  • Publication number: 20210008661
    Abstract: A calculating section of a control unit calculates a vertical position Defocus for a condensing lens using a height value H1 of a modified layer in a wafer that is set by a setting section according to the equation (1) below. Defocus=(thickness T1 of wafer?height value H1?b)/a??(1) The calculating section calculates an appropriate vertical position for the condensing lens according to the equation (1) depending on the height value H1 of the modified layer that is set by the setting section. Therefore, the vertical position of the condensing lens in laser processing operation can be determined more easily, and a time-consuming and tedious experiment for fine adjustment of the vertical position of the condensing lens does not need to be conducted.
