Abstract

This abnormality detection system (50) is a system for detecting, on the basis of a medical image, presence or absence of an abnormality in one preliminarily specified anatomic structure included in the medical image. The abnormality detection system comprises: an acquisition unit (52) that acquires block information showing a block, which is a region in which pixels showing the anatomic structure in the medical image are connected; and a determination unit (53) that determines whether the anatomic structure is abnormal or not on the basis of the number of blocks shown by the block information acquired by the acquisition unit (52), and outputs the same. The determination unit (53) determines that the anatomic structure is not abnormal when the number of blocks shown by the block information is 1 and determines that the anatomic structure is abnormal when the number of blocks shown by the block information is 2 or more and the blocks shown by the block information meet a predetermined condition.

Abstract

This power transmission device includes a power transmission coil that transmits electric power via a magnetic field, and a transmission-side processor that controls electric power from a transmission power source. This power-receiving device includes a power-receiving coil that receives electric power from the power transmission coil, a receiving power source that has a plurality of multi-purpose power source components and a storage battery and that charges the storage battery on the basis of the received electric power and the plurality of multi-purpose power source components, a receiving-side processor that cyclically controls a charging current running to the storage battery, and a current sensor that detects the charging current. The receiving-side processor calculates a parameter for returning control to the transmission power source on the basis of the difference between the value of the charging current and a target current value when the value of the charging current is outside of a specified range. The transmission-side processor controls the electric power from the transmission power source on the basis of the return control parameter.

Abstract

A latch handle device (10) includes: a casing (12) that has a recess (23) opened on the outer surface of a door (101); a shaft member (40) that is rotatably inserted into two shaft holes (26, 27) formed in first- and second-side surfaces of the recess; and a handle body (50) that is joined to the shaft member and is disposed in the recess. The two shaft holes are formed in two plates arranged side by side. The plates respectively have annular steps (28, 29) formed at the opening circumferential edges of the shaft holes on surfaces opposite to the recess. The shaft member is formed by joining together a first shaft element (41) and a second shaft element (46) inserted in the shaft holes of the two plates. Elastic rings (82, 84) are held in a pressed state between the steps (28, 29) and step surfaces (41a, 48a) formed at the intermediate parts of the shaft elements.

Abstract

In this electric actuator, a rotational output shaft of a motor (25) capable of forward rotation and reverse rotation is capable of transmitting power to a guide rotating body (30) that has a cylindrical outer peripheral surface. A coil spring (12) that has spiral sparse windings is movably wound around the guide rotating body in an axial direction thereof. The guide rotating body includes a plurality of protrusions (33, 34) formed at a plurality of concentric circumferential direction positions of an axial direction intermediate section of the outer peripheral surface. Of the plurality of protrusions, a first protrusion moves the coil spring in the axial direction due to rotation of the guide rotating body in a first direction. After the first protrusion reaches a longitudinal direction end of the pitch gap of the coil spring, the engagement between the first protrusion and the coil spring is released. When the engagement is released, a second protrusion of the plurality of protrusions engages with the coil spring.
