摘要:
A molding machine for production of gas hydrate pellets under a high pressure in gas hydrate forming conditions, which is inexpensive through minimizing of the use of expensive mechanical seal. The molding machine comprises two forming rolls each fitted to a rotary shaft whose both ends are supported by bearings; a drive unit for rotating the forming rolls; a screw transfer unit for supplying powder to the forming rolls; and a high-pressure vessel, wherein the bearings, the rotary shaft and the forming rolls are all disposed in the high-pressure vessel.

Generation of residual images due to charge leakage is suppressed. A radiation image detector is constituted by: an upper planar electrode that transmits electromagnetic waves bearing radiation image information; a charge generating layer that generates electric charges when irradiated by the electromagnetic waves which are transmitted through the upper planar electrode; and a plurality of divided electrodes for collecting the electric charges generated by the charge generating layer. The divided electrodes have inclined electrode surfaces, which are inclined with respect to the upper planar electrode.

Obtainment of a present image, in which the arrangement of structural elements of a subject within the image approximates that of a past image of the same subject, and which is suitable for a temporal subtraction process, is enabled. A plurality of preliminary images of the subject are obtained, by a control unit controlling an imaging system constituted by an X-ray tube and an X-ray detector, to perform imaging at a plurality of imaging angles. An optimal imaging angle calculating unit calculates an optimal imaging angle, based on characteristic anatomical points of the subject that reflect changes in the subject's position, which is optimal for obtaining a present image having the least differences, due to the position of the subject, from a past image. The control unit controls the imaging system to perform imaging employing the optimal imaging angle.
摘要:
Electric charges, which have been generated in a recording photo-conductor layer having been exposed to radiation, are accumulated at an accumulating section. The accumulated electric charges combine with electric charges, which are generated in a reading photo-conductor layer when the reading photo-conductor layer is exposed to reading light having passed through each of transparent linear electrodes, and an electric current in accordance with a radiation dose flows through each of the transparent linear electrodes. An opaque good electrically-conductive member extends at a middle region of each of the transparent linear electrodes, the middle region being other than an end region extending along a longitudinal direction of each of the transparent linear electrodes.

An image recording medium includes a first electrode layer permeable to a recording electromagnetic wave carrying thereon image information, and a recording photoconductive layer which contains a-Se as a major component and becomes conductive upon exposure to the recording electromagnetic wave which are superposed one on another in this order with an inhibition layer for inhibiting interfacial crystallization of the recording photoconductive layer intervening between the first electrode layer and the recording photoconductive layer. The inhibition layer is formed by coating the surface of the recording photoconductive layer with organic polymer by the use of low boiling point solvent.

An image signal is read out by use of a stimulable phosphor sheet having a layer of stimulable phosphor which emits stimulated emission in proportion to the stored energy of radiation upon exposure to stimulating light and a solid image sensor having a photoconductive material layer which exhibits electric conductivity upon exposure to the stimulated emission from the stimulable phosphor sheet. Stimulating light is caused to scan a stimulable phosphor sheet which has been exposed to radiation and has stored an image, the photoconductive material layer is caused to be exposed to stimulated emission emitted from the stimulable phosphor sheet upon exposure to the stimulating light. Then electric charges generated in the photoconductive material layer upon exposure to the stimulated emission is detected by applying an electric field to the photoconductive material layer. The stimulable phosphor sheet has a layer of stimulable phosphor which is stimulated by stimulating light in a wavelength range of not shorter than 600 nm and emits stimulated emission in a wavelength range of not longer than 500 nm. The solid image sensor has a photoconductive material layer whose major component is a-Se, and the electric field is such as to generate an avalanche amplification effect in the photoconductive material layer.
