    摘要: A memory control apparatus including: a writing unit configured to output a write request for writing to a memory and issues a first event every time a write operation of each of the first blocks is completed; a reading unit configured to output a readout request for reading of image data that has been written to the memory by the writing unit and issues a second event every time a readout operation of the second block is completed; and a controller that performs a process of incrementing a count value in response to the first event, performs a process of decrementing the count value in response to the second event, and controls whether to permit the write request and the readout request, respectively, based on the count value.

    摘要: A zoom lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side, a positive first lens unit, a negative second lens unit, a middle lens group including at least one lens unit, a negative N minus second lens unit, a negative N minus first lens unit, and a positive Nth lens unit, where N is an integer of six or more, in which distances between the adjacent lens units change during zooming, the first lens unit moves toward the object side during zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the N minus second lens unit moves during focusing, and a total lens length at the wide-angle end, a backfocus at the wide-angle end, and a lateral magnification of a combined system of the N minus first lens unit and the Nth lens unit at the wide-angle end are set appropriately.

    摘要: A method of directing energy to tissue includes the initial step of positioning an energy applicator for delivery of energy to target tissue. The energy applicator is provided with a surface-contact detection device including one or more optical transmitters and one or more optical receivers. The energy applicator is operably associated with an electrosurgical power generating source. The method also includes the steps of determining whether a radiating portion of the energy applicator is disposed in contact with the target tissue based on a determination of whether optical signals generated by the one or more optical transmitters result in reflected optical signals received at the one or more optical receivers, and if it is determined that the radiating portion of the energy applicator is disposed in contact with tissue, transmitting energy from the electrosurgical power generating source through the radiating portion to the target tissue.

    摘要: A system for monitoring ablation size is provided and includes a power source including a microprocessor for executing at least one control algorithm. A microwave antenna is configured to deliver microwave energy from the power source to tissue to form an ablation zone. A radiation detection device is operably disposed on the microwave antenna. The radiation detection device is configured to generate a voltage corresponding to a radius of the ablation zone, wherein the radiation detection device is in operative communication with at least one module associated with the power source. The at least one module triggers a signal when a predetermined threshold voltage is measured corresponding to the radius of the ablation zone.

    摘要: A modular system includes a first pair of modular units and a second pair of modular units to be disposed above the first pair of modular units. The first pair of modular units includes brackets configured to be coupled to a façade trim. The second pair of modular units includes brackets configured to be coupled to a façade trim. The brackets of the first pair of modular units are spaced apart from one another a different distance than the brackets of the second pair of modular units are spaced apart from one another.
