The display device is provided with a display panel in which one pixel is constructed from sub-pixels of at least 4 colors. The display device generates the display data for each sub-pixel in accordance with an input image signal, and displays the display data on the display panel. Within the sub-pixels, high brightness sub-pixels which are the two sub-pixels having the highest brightness are arranged alternately with the other sub-pixels. Also, the area of each high brightness sub-pixel is smaller than that of the other sub-pixels. In a preferred example, the areas of the two sub-pixels having the highest brightness and the areas of the other two sub-pixels have area ratios in the following order: 1.0:1.0:1.6:1.6. | 12-06-2012 |

20090257561 | GENERAL IMAGING SYSTEM - To automate positioning operation of an X-ray tube so as to reduce the inspection time. Anatomical program selection means selects a surgery method/imaging object portion so that an imaging condition stored as an anatomical program in advance is called out and set in an X-ray generation device. Here, when an operation switch is pressed, control means moves drive means built in X-ray irradiation means parallel movement holding means and X-ray irradiation means rotation holding means so as to obtain the positional relationship between an X-ray tube and an FPD stored in correspondence with the anatomical program (such as SID and incident angle). The position of the FPD should be matched with the examinee. However, since the positional relationship between the X-ray tube and the FPD is almost constant in accordance with the surgery method/imaging object portion, it is possible to reduce the time required for positioning the X-ray tube by using this configuration. | 10-15-2009 |
20130039465 | X-RAY APPARATUS - A controller determines a lower edge position of an imaging area of an image combined in long-length imaging through light illumination from a line marker. Thereby the controller performs control such that light from the line marker is switched off beyond an area, set in advance, capable of being imaged upon determination of the imaging area. Consequently, an operator just performs operation while looking at only light from the line marker upon determination of the imaging area, which achieves easy operation. As a result, operation upon determination of the imaging area can be facilitated. | 02-14-2013 |
20130235983 | X-RAY INSPECTION APPARATUS - When a size of a flat panel detector, contained in an X-ray detector containing part, in a body axial direction of a subject is detected, a detected value of a potentiometer, and stored information on a maximum size of a flat panel detector, containable in the X-ray detector containing part, in the body axial direction of the subject are compared with each other. If the size of the flat panel detector contained in the X-ray detector containing part coincides with the maximum size of the flat panel detector containable in the X-ray detector containing part, a reference position information switching part switches reference position information stored in a reference position information storage part. When an operator performs a predetermined operation on an operation part by pressing a switch or performing another action, the stored reference position information is changed to a preset reference position. | 09-12-2013 |

20140369477 | X-RAY APPARATUS FOR ROUND VISIT - With an X-ray apparatus for round visit of this invention, when a brake operation is carried out, a CPU performs deceleration control (braking current control at c and short brake control at e) of a movable carriage instead of immediately driving electromagnetic brakes, and drives the electromagnetic brakes at time f. Therefore, a great shock does not occur to the apparatus, and there is no possibility of the operator colliding with the apparatus. Since the deceleration control of the movable carriage is carried out in advance, the apparatus does not stop suddenly and does not impair the floor. As a result, the X-ray apparatus for round visit is realized, in which no great shock occurs to the apparatus at times of deceleration, and which is also safe for the operator. | 12-18-2014 |

20120263405 | Tapered Roller Bearing and Manufacturing Method for Retainer of Tapered Roller Bearing - A tapered roller bearing improves durability during a state of insufficient lubrication by sufficiently lengthening the time until rotation becomes impossible due to seizure. Oil retaining concave sections, recessed outward in the radial direction, are formed in portions on the inner circumferential surface of a large-diameter rim section of the retainer whose phase in the circumferential direction coincides with the pockets. A portion of the bottom surface of each of the oil retaining concave sections, open to the inside surface of the pocket, face a concave section formed in an end surface on the large-diameter side of tapered roller that is held inside the pocket. When lubrication becomes insufficient, oil remaining in the concave sections is effectively used for lubricating areas of sliding contact between the end surfaces on the large-diameter side and the inside surface in the axial direction of a large-diameter side flange section. | 10-18-2012 |
20130170780 | Roller Bearing and Method for Manufacturing the Same - Spherical particles having diameters of 100 μm or less are projected on a surface of a tapered roller so as to form recesses and protrusions, and abrasive particles are then projected thereon so as to remove the protrusions. The abrasive particles result from adhering 5 mass % diamond grains with an average diameter of 10 μm on surfaces of 1 mm-diameter rubber particles. As a result, multiple recesses having circular openings of 50 μm or less are formed on the surface of the tapered roller at intervals of 200 μm or less. These recesses become moderate oil pools, heightening the oil film formation capability of the roller surface, and thus torque of the tapered roller bearing may be decreased. | 07-04-2013 |

20130255418 | Actuator and Method for Producing Same - In forming an actuator, a large end surface of a tapered roller of a tapered roller bearing is shot with minute particles of silicon carbide having a diameter of 0.5 to 100 μm and having an angle formed by crushing, and such a surface is scraped concavely at a diameter within a range from 0.5 to 100 μm to form a large number of concavities having a depth of equal to or greater than 1 μm at a pitch of equal to or less than 200 μm. The concavities are non-continuous and isolated from each other, and serve as a lubricant puddle. The concavities are formed by scraping and not by plastic deformation, and thus the surface is not hardened. | 10-03-2013 |
