64/128 slice CT System SCENARIA*, released in 2012, realizes 0.35 s/rot scans not only for cardiac scanning but also for whole body scanning with a high-speed data sampling technique and CORE method (3D reconstruction algorithm) which enables high pitch scans. Furthermore, the image noise reduction technique applied by the iterative reconstruction technology was integrated as a standard functio...

Th e aging of Japan’s population has led to rising rates of circulatory organ disease in recent years. In the circulatory disease market, use of three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal probes has been increasing year aft er year as a way of improving communication between surgeons and physicians before and aft er surgery. Th e fi rst such device from a Japanese supplier* designed to be used with...

SIL Rating Fire Protection Equipment

SIL's (Safety Integrity Levels) are used by IEC 61508:1998 [1] to characterise the required functional safety of computer control systems. For example, SIL 4, the highest rating is for fly by wire aircraft and weapons systems and track circuited train signalling systems while SIL 2 is typical of certain Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). Fire control panels have not been SIL rated to date ev...

An Optimal Inspection Policy for Protection Devices of Electronic Equipment Using Delay Time Model

In order to reduce or eliminate the consequences of the electronic equipment malfunction, some important electronic equipment were installed protection devices. Failures of protection devices are of hidden feature, and can only be found by inspections. Protection device failing to system malfunctioning has a delay characteristic. According to this delay characteristic, an inspection policy was ...
