20130294673 | DATA PROCESSOR AND RADIATION TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH THE SAME - Provided is a data processor used for imaging a plurality of subjects collectively. In the data processor, trimming is automatically performed to spatial data containing data on three-dimensional information for enhancing working efficiencies of experiments. Specifically, data on the subjects contained in the spatial data is divided into individual divisional data automatically and collectively. This eliminates necessity for individual trimming of the cross sectional images by the experimenter, resulting in significantly facilitating the latter image analysis. | 11-07-2013 |
20140135622 | MEDICAL-DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND RADIATION TOMOGRAPHY APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME - The disclosure has an object to provide a medical-data processing device that allows generation of an MIP image suitable for diagnosis. With the medical-data processing device of the disclosure, intensity of a body surface region in three-dimensional space data is adjusted. The body surface region corresponds to a body surface of a stereoscopic image of a subject. Since the intensity of the body surface region is adjusted to be decreased, the maximum intensity is selected from a portion except for the body surface region to generate the MIP image. This prevents the body surface of the subject from appearing upon generating the MIP image. Therefore, the MIP image is obtainable having excellent visibility to the inside of the subject. | 05-15-2014 |

20120217156 | HIGH-PRESSURE HYDROGEN PRODUCING APPARATUS - A high-pressure hydrogen producing apparatus includes a cell device and a piston member. The piston member is to apply a pressing force to the cell device from an end of the piston member in a stacking direction in which unit cells are stacked. The piston member is provided with a first hydrogen passage, at least one second hydrogen passage, and a hydrogen lead-out passage. The first hydrogen passage and the second hydrogen passage are spaced at substantially equal angular intervals on a virtual circle centered on a center of an end face of the piston member. | 08-30-2012 |
20150060293 | CONTROL METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE WATER ELECTROLYSIS SYSTEM - In a control method of a differential pressure water electrolysis system, a reference water level of a gas-liquid separator for normal operations is set to discharge a liquid water stored in the gas-liquid separator to a discharge tube. A depressurization reference water level which is a lower water level than the reference water level is set to discharge the liquid water stored in the gas-liquid separator to the discharge tube upon depressurizing. A depressurization valve is opened to reduce pressure at a cathode side after operation of a differential pressure water electrolysis device has been stopped, in a state with voltage applied. A permissible water level upper limit value at which an open/close valve is opened is switched from the reference water level to the depressurization reference water level when the depressurization valve is opened. | 03-05-2015 |
