| 20080281189 | MEDICAL GUIDING SYSTEM - A medical guiding system of the invention includes: a detection portion for detecting at least one of position and orientation of a medical instrument; a storage portion for storing multiple reference image data obtained from a human body in multiple states and including anatomical positional information of at least one of viscus and organ; a state selection portion for selecting, among the stored reference image data, the reference image data obtained in a state coincident with or approximate to a state of the subject in using the medical instrument; and a guide image creation portion for creating a guide image showing at least one of an anatomical position, shape, and orientation of the medical instrument with respect to the subject, based on at least one of the position and the orientation of the medical instrument detected by the detection portion and reference image data stored in the state selection portion. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080306379 | MEDICAL GUIDING SYSTEM - A medical guiding system of the invention includes: a detection portion for detecting a position and an orientation of a medical instrument and positions of feature points of a subject; a storage portion for storing reference image data having positional information on an organ of a human body; and a guide image creation portion for creating a guide image indicating the position of the medical instrument with respect to the subject from the reference image data. The guide image creation portion calculates the position of the medical instrument with respect to the subject, based on the position and the orientation of the medical instrument and the positions of feature points of the subject which are detected by the detection portion, and creates a guide image by correcting the calculated position of the medical instrument, using the positions of the feature points. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090036775 | MEDICAL GUIDING SYSTEM - A medical guiding system of the invention includes: a detection portion for detecting and outputting a position and an orientation of an ultrasound transducer; a reference image storage portion for storing reference image data having anatomical positional information of an organ of a human body; and a guide image creation portion for creating, based on the output from the detection portion and the reference image data, a guide image configured of: an anatomical model image of the organ of the human body; an ultrasound tomographic image marker showing a position and an orientation with respect to the model image of the latest ultrasound tomographic image; and an image scan history marker showing a position and an orientation with respect to the model image, of a region where the ultrasound tomographic image has been scanned in the past. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090175518 | MEDICAL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING MEDICAL GUIDE IMAGE - A medical system includes: an image signal acquiring portion for acquiring a signal to generate an image corresponding to a picture of a subject; an image generating portion for generating a real-time image of an inside of the test subject based on the acquired signal; a detecting portion for outputting a position and an orientation of an image position and orientation detecting element as a detection value; a reference image data storage portion for storing reference image data made up of anatomical images of the test subject; a guide image generating portion for generating a guide image to provide guide information about at least one of an anatomical position and orientation within the test subject of the real-time image, based on the detection value and the reference image data; and a detection state notification information generating portion for generating information to notify a detection state of the detection value. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20090226804 | PACKAGE STRUCTURE OF ELECTRIC STORAGE CELLS - A cell binder includes a frame body and a frame body. A storage portion of a electric storage cell are pressed/clamped by the bottom of an accommodating portion of the frame body and the bottom of an accommodating portion of the frame body. Also, a sealing portion of the electric storage cell is accommodated in a gap between the bottom of a fitting concave portion of the frame body | 09-10-2009 |
| 20110198920 | Vehicle power supply apparatus - A first power supply system is constituted by an alternator and a main battery while a second power supply system is constituted by electrical equipment and a sub-battery. Further, a switch is provided between the first power supply system and the second power supply system. During vehicle deceleration, the switch is switched to a disconnected state, whereby the first power supply system and the second power supply system are disconnected. As a result, a generation voltage of the alternator can be raised, enabling an increase in the generation amount, without applying an excessive voltage to the electrical equipment. Hence, the main battery can be charged sufficiently during deceleration, and therefore the alternator can be halted during acceleration and steady travel. Furthermore, by halting the alternator, an engine load can be reduced, and as a result, an improvement in the fuel efficiency of the vehicle can be achieved. | 08-18-2011 |

| 20080225281 | Visual inspection apparatus - The present invention is related to a visual inspection apparatus which can inspect a peripheral edge of a wafer with high efficiency. The visual inspection apparatus can make an inspection of any area on the peripheral edge of the wafer by displaying an inspection area specifying screen on a monitor. The inspection area specifying screen includes a display portion for displaying an observation range and an input portion for setting the observation area. The input portion allows one of step, continuity, and point to be selected as an observation type. A recipe is registered depending on a condition set in the above and thus is used to make an inspection. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20100081886 | SURGICAL MANIPULATOR SYSTEM - Movement of an instrument to a target treatment site can be performed easily and quickly, so that the burden imposed on an operator can be reduced. A surgical manipulator system including a stabilizer manipulator having a stabilizer, at the tip, holding an operative site of a patient; one or more operating manipulator having an instrument, at the tip, treating the operative site held by the stabilizer manipulator; and a control unit controlling these manipulators, wherein the stabilizer manipulator and the operating manipulator have coordinate systems that are associated with one another; and the position coordinates of a target site to be treated are set to the stabilizer provided on the stabilizer manipulator; and the control unit controls the operating manipulator so as to dispose the instrument in the vicinity of the target site set to the stabilizer when the stabilizer is disposed at the operative site to hold the operative site. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100082043 | SURGICAL MANIPULATOR SYSTEM - Movement of an instrument to a target treatment site can be performed easily and quickly, so that the burden imposed on an operator can be reduced. A surgical manipulator system including a stabilizer manipulator having a stabilizer, at the tip, holding an operative site of a patient; one or more operating manipulator having an instrument, at the tip, treating the held operative site; an observation manipulator having a camera, at the tip, for observing the operative site; a display unit displaying an image of the operative site acquired by the camera; an input unit specifying a target site to be treated in association with an image of the stabilizer that holds the operative site, which image is displayed on the display unit; and a control unit controlling these parts, wherein the stabilizer manipulator, the operating manipulator, and the observation manipulator have coordinate systems that are associated with one another; and the control unit controls the operating manipulator so as to dispose the instrument in the vicinity of the target site specified by the input unit. | 04-01-2010 |
