The present invention aims at providing an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus capable of displaying a stable spatial distribution of elastic characteristics for each hear beat without depending on the accuracy or stability of measurement of blood pressure and without involvement of measurement of blood pressure.In an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus of the present invention, an ultrasonic reflected wave transmitted from an ultrasonic probe 13 and reflected by biomedical tissue is input to a computing section 19 by way of a receiving section 15, a delay time control section 16, a phase detection section 17, and a filter section 18. In accordance with the phase detection signal acquired from the phase detection section 17, the computing section 19 computes a relative elastic characteristic which is an elastic characteristic normalized by an elastic characteristic of an arbitrary reference area in the biomedical tissue. A distribution of relative elastic characteristics computed by the computing section is displayed on a display section 21.

An object of the invention is to provide a lactic acid bacteria fermentation product, which has been obtained by culturing lactic acid bacteria on a medium containing an extract of at least one food material selected from the group consisting of rice bran, persimmon leaves, perilla, Houttuynia cordata Thunb, Eucommia ulmoides Oliv., turmeric, clove, cinnamon and Rubus suavissimus S. Lee (Rosaceae). By adding and mixing the extract used for the preparation of the fermentation product to a medium, it is possible to increase simply the viable cell count of lactic acid bacteria, without affecting the flavor of the product. It is possible, by using the extract, to obtain a lactic acid bacteria fermentation product which contains many viable lactic acid bacteria with their activities highly maintained, and further to provide beverages or foods using the product.

Embodiments of the invention provide a bearing mechanism for a head used in a magnetic disk drive capable of preventing scattering of dust and dirt at a high level and a magnetic disk drive having the same. In one embodiment, a base is provided with a bearing hole. An inner shaft is joined to the bearing hole. The inner shaft is inserted internally in an outer sleeve mounted with a head stack assembly. The outer sleeve is swingably connected to the inner shaft by way of upper and lower bearing mechanisms. A receiving surface is formed around the bearing hole on the base. The receiving surface is higher by a predetermined height than a basic plane of the base. An extended portion is formed on an end portion on a lower side (the end facing the base) of the outer sleeve. A labyrinth seal structure is provided between an end face of the extended portion and the receiving surface.

Still another optical film has a transparent film having a refractive index of not lower than 1.49, a transparent adhesive layer provided on one surface of the transparent film, the transparent adhesive means having a refractive index of not lower than 1.49, and the repetitive prismatic structure provided on the other surface of the transparent film.
摘要:
An ultrasonic diagnostic equipment capable of reducing cost by reducing the number of transmission drive circuits for generating transmission pulse is disclosed. High voltage switches 3-1 to 3-32 for determining an aperture by selecting eight pieces from among transducer elements 2-1 to 2-32 to which transmission pulse is applied, and low voltage switches 11-1 to 11-16 for selecting 16 pieces from among the transducer elements 2-1 to 2-32 to receive ultrasonic echo are provided individually. Regarding the high voltage switches 3 for transmission, four inputs are integrated into one, and a distribution circuit of 1:4 is constructed. Regarding the low voltage switches 11 for reception, two outputs are integrated into one, and a multiplexer of 2:1 is constructed. Linear scanning is performed by only eight pulsers (transmission drive circuits) 4-1 to 4-8. The high voltage switches 3 for transmitting ultrasonic waves and the low voltage switches 11 for receiving ultrasonic waves are separated from each other. Therefore, the number of the pulsers (transmission drive circuits) 4 can be reduced, and cost for circuits can be reduced while performance is maintained.
