| 20080279330 | Imaging Apparatus - The present invention is designed to overcome the disadvantages of X-ray imaging having difficulty in high-sensitivity measurement and of optical imaging having difficulty in high-spatial-resolution measurement, when used for diagnostic purposes. The present invention provides an imaging apparatus including an X-ray tube, a detector having sensitivity to X-rays and light, and a processing unit that processes the result of detection. In the imaging apparatus, the processing unit processes, as a first signal, a signal detected by the detector during an irradiation period in which an X-ray source provides X-ray irradiation, and processes, as a second signal, a light signal detected by the detector during a period other than the irradiation period. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080317303 | Imaging device and apparatus installed with the same - An imaging device includes a light source layer having imaging light source units for radiating the imaging light containing a first wavelength on an object to be imaged, a detection layer having detection elements for detecting the light of the first wavelength radiated from the light source units, and a light-blocking unit interposed between the light source layer and the detection layer. The light source layer is held between the detection layer and the object to be imaged. The light-blocking unit is arranged in such a manner as to block the direct radiation of at least part of the light radiated from the light source units to the detection elements. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090039241 | BIOMETRIC DEVICE AND INFORMATION TERMINAL - A compact biometric device includes a first light source for emitting light irradiated onto a subject; a first light guide unit whose surface is inputted with light radiated from the subject and whose ends output the light inputted from the subject; a photo sensor unit to detect light outputted from the end of the first light guide means as a signal; a liquid crystal display unit installed between the subject and the surface of the first light guide means; a control unit for controlling the display on the liquid crystal display unit; and a signal processor unit for processing the signals detected by the photo sensor unit. The control unit controls the display on the liquid crystal display unit to change the position where the light emitted from the subject is inputted onto the surface of the first light guide unit. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100008545 | BIOMETRICS AUTHENTICATION DEVICE AND PORTABLE TERMINAL - Provided is a biometric authentication device for identifying an individual based on a biometric pattern of the subject included in a picked up image, comprising: a light guiding unit for outputting light from a surface thereof; a liquid crystal display (LCD) unit for adjusting, on a display pixel basis, an intensity of light output from the surface of the light guiding unit; an image pickup unit for picking up an image of the subject; a display light source for emitting light used as a backlight of the LCD unit; a detection light source for emitting light for irradiating the subject; and a control unit for controlling processing of the biometric authentication device The control unit turns on the detection light when the image pickup unit picks up a first image, which is used for authentication, and turns on the display light source when the LCD unit displays information. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100046709 | X-RAY IMAGING DEVICE - An X-ray detection technology capable of suppressing a decrease in a signal-to-noise ratio derived from external noise even in a case where it is hard to intercept electromagnetic-wave noise, and offering a wide dynamic range is realized, and an X-ray imaging device utilizing the technology is provided. An electromagnetic-wave noise signal to be mixed in a signal detected by an X-ray detector | 02-25-2010 |
| 20100226474 | X RAY CT SYSTEM - The dual energy X-ray CT apparatus automatically optimizes a map for separation to achieve a high degree of separation accuracy and a reduction of dose. | 09-09-2010 |
