摘要:
An acoustic matching device has a water bag (64) that contains water and a water bag support frame (66) that sandwiches and supports the water bag on the left and right sides of the knee and curves along the knee cap. The water bag becomes a plate shape curved along the shape of the water bag support frame, which touches the knee cap and fits the unevenness of the knee. When an ultrasonic probe is moved along the knee cap, the acoustic matching between the knee cap and the ultrasonic probe is obtained.

A mounting unit (16) is aligned by using a mounting unit frame (58) touching the thigh and a knee-contacting portion (62) touching the knee, with the knee being bent. The mounting unit is also equipped with a probe support frame (60) used for moving an ultrasonic probe along the knee cap. The probe support frame moves rotationally about the mechanical center of the knee joint, thereby allowing the ultrasonic probe (78) to move along the knee cap while facing toward the mechanical center of the knee joint and to perform scanning of an ultrasonic beam.

Provided is a bone inspecting system for placing the lower legs (L) of an examinee (P) on a proximal support block (26) and a distal support block (28) mounted on a turning base (24). The proximal support block supports the heads of fibula, and the distal support block supports the lateral malleolus or medial malleolus of a tibial distal end of the examinee. The turning base is supported turnably on a turning axis positioned near the knees of the examinee, with respect to a main base (22), and is moved up and down by an elevating mechanism (30) disposed near the ankles. The turning base (24) is turned by the elevating mechanism while bearing the lower legs thereon, thereby positioning the lower legs horizontally.

A touch panel includes: a first substrate; a second substrate disposed to face the first substrate; an annular seal material that adheres peripheries of the first substrate and the second substrate to each other so as to set a gap between the first substrate and the second substrate; first seal portions that adhere corner portions of the first substrate and the second substrate through the seal material; and second seal portions that are in connection with the first seal portions and adhere side portions of the first substrate and the second substrate through the seal material. Each of the first seal portions has a thickness which is smaller than each of the second seal portions so that the substrate gap is set to be small.

A transmission and reception unit controls probes to form an ultrasound beam which intersects a bone and obtains a reception signal. A beam evaluating unit evaluates an intersection state of the ultrasound beam with respect to the bone based on a shape of an envelope of the reception signal. More specifically, the beam evaluating unit determines a quality of the reception signal based on a height and a slope of a hill-like portion, included in the envelope, corresponding to the bone and evaluates the intersection state of the ultrasound beam.
摘要:
A conductor pattern having both elongated conductors and a dummy pattern is formed on a substrate. The dummy pattern is formed of dummy conductors. The elongated conductors are typically transparent electrodes. The dummy pattern is so configured that each of the dummy conductors are mutually set apart with a spacing as appropriate in the extending direction (top-and-bottom direction) and in the array direction (right-and-left direction) of the transparent electrodes to prevent any two inspection probes from contacting a single dummy conductor.

An improved fluid pressure controlling device for a vehicle braking system has a valve housing provided with an input chamber communicating with an output port of a master cylinder and an output chamber communicating with a rear wheel brake. A resilient valve seat separating the input and output chambers from each other is disposed in the input chamber. The resilient valve seat is provided with a valve port through which the input and output chambers are communicate with each other. A valve member is accommodated in the output chamber for opening and closing the valve port. The valve member is resiliently biased by a spring in a direction to move the pressure-receiving piston away from the resilient valve seat. The valve seat has an inner peripheral portion with a conical valve seat surface opposing the valve member and an annular thin-walled portion surrounding the inner peripheral portion. The annular thin-walled portion is seatingly engageable with the valve member and deformable to improve responsiveness of the valve member to pressure differential between the input and output chambers, whereby excellent sealing between the input and output chambers is provided without any accompanying substantial braking hysteresis during the brake-releasing operation.
