摘要:
A method of correcting a magnification of a mask pattern formed on a mask substrate. The method includes applying forces to four pressurizing points of an outer periphery of an approximately ring-shaped frame, which supports the mask substrate and has a rectangular window, on substantially extended lines of two diagonal lines of the rectangular window, and adjusting at least an angle, to the extended lines, of a vector of the forces applied to each of the pressurizing points.

This invention employs an object information acquiring apparatus including a probe for receiving, as a received signal, an acoustic wave which is generated within an object irradiated with light and propagates on an object surface, and a processor for generating object information, which is information based on an internal optical characteristic value of the object, by using intensity of the received signal. The processor corrects the intensity of the received signal by using the reflectance upon the acoustic wave entering the probe which is calculated based on the angle of the acoustic wave entering the probe, and on the acoustic impedance and acoustic velocity of the object and the probe.

A light irradiating apparatus is used, which is characterized by having: a probe including an irradiating unit which guides light to an object, a housing containing the irradiating unit, and a touch sensor acquiring a contact condition amount between the object and the housing; and a controller controlling irradiation with light from the irradiating unit based on a level of the contact condition amount and a change in the contact condition amount, wherein in a case where the contact condition amount is equal to or more than a first reference value while the change in the contact condition amount which occurs when the housing is pressed against the object is a positive value, the controller performs a control which enables irradiation with light from the irradiating unit when the change in the contact condition amount is equal to or more than a second reference value.

The present invention employs a measuring apparatus having: a holding plate for holding a subject; an acoustic matching member provided between the subject and the holding plate; and a probe for receiving an acoustic wave propagating through the subject via the acoustic matching member and the holding plate, wherein the acoustic matching member includes a first portion that contacts the subject and a second portion that contacts the holding plate, and the second portion has greater rigidity than the first portion.
摘要:
When a subject is pressed by a plate and an acoustic wave is received by a probe via the plate, the acoustic wave is refracted because of the difference between a sound velocity in the subject and a sound velocity in the plate. When the refraction is not considered, a reduction in resolution occurs. A correction table or a correction formula for correcting image distortion associated with refraction is provided. After image information is acquired, new image information is acquired in accordance with the correction table or the correction formula, and is displayed.
摘要:
When a subject is pressed by a plate and an acoustic wave is received by a probe via the plate, the acoustic wave is refracted because of the difference between a sound velocity in the subject and a sound velocity in the plate. When the refraction is not considered, a reduction in resolution occurs. Weights for signals or virtual wavefronts corresponding to the signals to be added to one another are determined using a thickness of the plate, the sound velocity in the plate, the sound velocity in the subject, positions of image elements (pixels or voxels) for image information, and arrival times of the acoustic wave from an object that is a sound source. The signals or the virtual wavefronts corresponding to the signals are added to one another, thereby acquiring the image information.

A compression device for compressing a subject used in ultrasonic measurement that receives ultrasonic waves from a subject to acquire biological information of the subject, comprises: two compression plates used when compressing the subject, and face each other in a vertical direction with respect to a horizontal plane; a flexible member arranged so as to cover and seal an area between both side surfaces of and a bottom surface between the two compression plates, and so as not cover an area between top surfaces of the two compression plates such that an upper portion is open; a compression mechanism that relatively changes a distance between the two compression plates to sandwich and compress the subject; and a piping unit that supplies a matching liquid to a space portion surrounded by the two compression plates and the flexible member, and discharges the matching liquid that has been supplied.

A compression device for compressing a subject that is used in ultrasonic measurement that receives ultrasonic waves from the subject to acquire biological information of the subject, comprising: two compression plates that are used when compressing the subject, and that face each other in a vertical direction with respect to a horizontal plane; a flexible sheet for setting a subject on, which is stretched between upper ends of the two compression plates; a compression mechanism that relatively changes a distance between the two compression plates to sandwich and compress the subject that is set on the flexible sheet through the flexible sheet; and a supply unit for supplying a matching liquid onto the flexible sheet. The apparatus can match an acoustic impedance with a subject and can suppress leaking or overflowing of a matching liquid.

A liquid control apparatus is used for controlling the movement of liquid in a microfluidic device having a flow channel for holding liquid. The apparatus comprises a vibration wave generating section for generating a vibration wave to be applied to the microfluidic device and a signal supplying section for supplying drive signals to the vibration wave generating section so as to oscillate in an oscillation mode selected from a transfer mode for moving liquid in a predetermined direction, a stop mode for stopping the movement of liquid, a mixing and/or agitation mode for mixing and/or agitating liquid and a localization mode for localizing a predetermined substance in liquid.
