To provide an impact-absorbing pad fully satisfying impact absorbability for preventing femoral neck fractures, wearing comfort and breathability not to cause discomfort for all-day use, a small thickness not to impair external appearance, and flexibility in a surface direction not to cause uncomfortable feeling at the time of putting on and taking off, which are required for the impact-absorbing pad used in a hip protector, clothing furnished with the impact-absorbing pad, and a method for preventing femoral fractures. A pad main body having impact absorbability includes an impact-deflecting part having a through hole or concavity with a maximum length of 80 mm or less and an area of 600 mm2 or more and 5,000 mm2 or less, and the pad main body is disposed so as to apply the impact-deflecting part onto the greater trochanter of the femur, thereby preventing femoral fractures.

An image processing apparatus includes a line information reception unit, a line extraction unit, an inversion unit and a determination unit. The line information reception unit receives a set of information indicating (i) information on an image having a possibly of being a line and (ii) line elements being a rectangular pixel lump which constitutes a line. The line extraction unit extracts a line by tracing from a first start point to an end point of the line, based on the received information indicating the line elements and a tracing direction of the line. The inversion unit inverts the tracing direction of the line, sets the extracted end point of the line as a second start point and sends the second start point and the inverted tracing direction to the line extraction unit. The determination unit determines whether or not to cause the inversion unit to perform a process.

A sultam derivative of Formula (1) described below having inhibitory action for aggrecanase activity is provided. The sultam derivative of Formula (1) and a salt thereof exhibit strong inhibitory action for aggrecanase activity in a living body of a mammalian animal including human, and is useful, for example, as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical agent for preventing and/or treating various diseases caused by degradation of aggrecan.

In an image encoding apparatus including an intra-frame prediction unit that executes intra-frame prediction regarding an input image, when locally decoded pixels are not available, pseudo reference pixels are set to calculate an intra-frame-prediction evaluation value, and a method of encoding to be used for a block to be encoded is determined on the basis of the intra-frame-prediction evaluation value.

In the case where, e.g., because of provision of a high-gain and high-energy Q-switched laser oscillator in a laser system in a MOPA configuration, the duration τz from the time point when oscillation-stage Q switches (13a and 13b) start the gate ON to the time point when a pulse laser beam (18) starts to grow is shorter than the fall time τf of amplification-stage Q switches (13c, 13d, and 13e), by implementing control in such a way that the gate-ON timing of the oscillation-stage Q switches (13a and 13b) lag behind the gate-ON timing of the amplification-stage Q switches (13c, 13d, and 13e) by a predetermined time, the loss in the pulse laser beam (18) at the amplification-stage Q switches (13c, 13d, and 13e) can be prevented, while the gain deterioration due to a spontaneously amplified ray (17) produced in the amplification stage is being suppressed. Therefore, a high-energy pulse laser beam can efficiently be obtained.

A PET apparatus is provided, which ensures excellent quantitativeness by properly correcting the influence of scattered radiation while improving the resolution of a reconstructed image and keeping good photon pair detection sensitivity. A determining section 52 determines whether a straight line connecting the light-receiving surfaces 15b of a pair of photon detectors 15a which have simultaneously detected a photon pair crosses any one of slice collimators 21n. When it is determined that the straight line crosses none of the slice collimators 21n, the corresponding coincidence counting information is accumulated by a first coincidence counting information storage section 53 to generate a signal sinogram. When it is determined that the straight line crosses one of the slice collimators 21n, the corresponding coincidence counting information is accumulated by a second coincidence counting information storage section 54 to generate a scatter sinogram. An image reconstructing section 60 corrects the influence of scattered components on the signal sinogram on the basis of the scattered sinogram, and reconstructs an image on the basis of the corrected signal sinogram.

A plurality of insulators are disposed in holes, respectively, defined in a metal plate of a waveguide of a circularly-polarized-wave flat antenna. Each insulator has a through-hole and a protrusion. The through-hole extends from the outside of the metal plate to the inside of the waveguide. The protrusion protrudes outward beyond the metal plate. The protrusion has a groove which is open to the outside. Curl antenna elements each have a shaft portion, an arm portion, and a curl portion. The shaft portion is fitted in the through-hole of the insulator and partly protrudes outward from the metal plate. The arm portion extends from the protruded end of the shaft portion. The curl portion is in a substantially helical shape and connected to the top of the arm portion. When the arm portion is engaged with the groove of the insulator, provided that the position of the groove of the insulator has been set in accordance with a desired orientation of the curl portion of the curl antenna element, the orientation of the curl portion is automatically set to a predetermined direction. Thus, the orientation of the curl portion can be precisely set to the predetermined direction. As a result, the operation for mounting a large number of curl antenna elements on the insulators in different directions according to the positions thereof can be easily performed.

A positron CT scanner includes a plurality of detectors arranged in a generally cylindrical multi-layers of rings, and slice septa for restricting visual fields of the detectors so that the visual fields intersect a set axis. An interval of the slice septa is substantially corresponds to a plural number of detector cells each of which can determine positions of .gamma. rays incident in the direction of the set axis. The slice septa are movable relatively to the detector cells in the direction of the set axis during a .gamma. ray counting operation.
