摘要:
The organ imaging apparatus (1) is provided with an image pickup unit (3), a detection unit, and an illumination unit (2). The image pickup unit (3) acquires an image by photographing an imaging object comprising an organ of the living body. The detection unit detects a feature of the imaging object on the basis of the image acquired by the image pickup unit (3). The illumination unit (2) illuminates the imaging object at an angle that exceeds 45 degrees and is not more than 90 degrees with respect to the imaging optical axis (X) of the image pickup unit (3) that passes through the imaging object. The image pickup unit (3) photographs the shadows formed by the imaging object under illumination by the illumination unit (2). The detection unit detects the topography of the imaging object and the border of the organ contained in said imaging object on the basis of the shadows.

A liquid discharge head (10) is provided with a discharge port (34) for discharging a liquid, a pressure chamber (28a) communicating with the discharge port (34), and a piezoelectric element (40) for pressurizing the pressure chamber (28a) and causing the liquid accumulated in the pressure chamber (28a) to be discharged from the discharge port (34). The liquid discharge head (10) is configured such that at least some of the walls defining the pressure chamber (28a) include a portion of which the vibration characteristic differs in a pressurized state, in which the pressure chamber is pressurized by the piezoelectric element (40), and a depressurized state, in which the pressure chamber (28a) becomes depressurized due to the liquid being discharged from the discharge port (34) and the application of pressure to the pressure chamber (28a) being stopped, the portion that has the differing vibration characteristic mitigating the fluctuation of pressure in the pressure chamber while in the depressurized state.

An organ image capture device (1) is provided with an imaging unit (3), a display unit (4), and an information extracting unit (14). The imaging unit (3) images an organ of a living body and acquires an image thereof. The display unit (4) displays, together with the image acquired by imaging by the imaging unit (3), an indicator for specifying an organ imaging position satisfying an imaging condition including a condition relating to illumination at the time of imaging by the imaging unit (3). The information extracting unit (14) extracts information necessary for diagnosing the degree of health of the living body from an image which is acquired by imaging by the imaging unit (3) and is within a range specified by the indicator.

A degree-of-health outputting device (1) is provided with a display unit (4), an operating unit (5), and an output unit. The display unit (4) displays a captured image of a region, the state of which changes according to a degree of health in a living body, and displays a plurality of comparison images having different degrees of health obtained on the basis of a reference image of the region captured prior to the time the abovementioned captured image was acquired for the same living body. The operating unit (5) is provided in order to select one of the plurality of comparison images displayed by the display unit (4). The output unit (e.g., the display unit (4)) outputs (e.g., displays) information relating to the degree of health of the living body on the basis of the comparison image selected through use of the operating unit (5).
摘要:
A piezoelectric element which includes an undercoat layer and a piezoelectric material layer that have been formed on a substrate, the undercoat layer being for controlling the crystallinity of the piezoelectric material layer. The piezoelectric material layer is configured of crystals having an ABO 3 -type structure which contains at least Pb at the A sites. In the undercoat layer, the surface that faces the interface with the substrate contains, at the A sites, at least Pb and another substance that differs in content from that in the piezoelectric material layer and, at the B sites, substances having a content ratio different from that in the piezoelectric material layer. Due to this, the undercoat layer has a given crystal structure that has better crystallinity than the piezoelectric material layer. In the layer of the undercoat layer which is located upper than the surface that faces the interface with the substrate, the content of the other substance contained in the A sites of the undercoat layer gradually changes from the surface that faces the interface with the substrate to the surface that faces the interface with the piezoelectric material layer, while the content ratio of the substances contained in the B sites gradually changes. Thus, the composition of the undercoat layer comes closer to that of the piezoelectric material layer.

An organ image photographing apparatus (1) includes an imaging unit (3), an image processing unit (15), and a detecting unit (17). The imaging unit (3) obtains an image by photographing a living organ. The image processing unit (15) creates a frequency distribution of image data including any of red, green, and blue color components from the photographed image of the organ obtained by the imaging unit (3), and obtains an index indicating a spread of the frequency distribution. The detecting unit (17) detects a crack in a surface of the organ based on the index.

An organ image capture device (1) comprises an imaging unit (3), a contour extraction unit (6), and a detection unit (7). The imaging unit (3) images an organ of a living body and obtains an image. The contour extraction unit (6) extracts a contour of the organ from the image obtained by the imaging unit (3). The detection unit (7) calculates a fitted curve approximating the contour of the organ or a part of the contour extracted by the contour extraction unit (6) and detects unevenness of the contour on the basis of the degree of correlation between the contour and the fitted curve.

A piezoelectric element which includes an undercoat layer and a piezoelectric material layer that have been formed on a substrate, the undercoat layer being for controlling the crystallinity of the piezoelectric material layer. The piezoelectric material layer is configured of crystals having an ABO 3 -type structure which contains at least Pb at the A sites. In the undercoat layer, the surface that faces the interface with the substrate contains, at the A sites, at least Pb and another substance that differs in content from that in the piezoelectric material layer and, at the B sites, substances having a content ratio different from that in the piezoelectric material layer. Due to this, the undercoat layer has a given crystal structure that has better crystallinity than the piezoelectric material layer. In the layer of the undercoat layer which is located upper than the surface that faces the interface with the substrate, the content of the other substance contained in the A sites of the undercoat layer gradually changes from the surface that faces the interface with the substrate to the surface that faces the interface with the piezoelectric material layer, while the content ratio of the substances contained in the B sites gradually changes. Thus, the composition of the undercoat layer comes closer to that of the piezoelectric material layer.
