A radiation treatment apparatus includes a guide and a support member. The guide moves a radiation generating unit along an orbit with a predetermined radius such that an X-ray emitted from the radiation generating unit may cross an isocenter. The support member rotates the guide about a turning axis passing through the isocenter. The radiation generating unit is moved along a spherical plane by the guide and the support member and applies the X-ray toward the isocenter in multiple directions.

Radiation treatment apparatus

The radiotherapy apparatus in the present invention includes a bed, a radiation irradiating head, head swing mechanisms, a precise inspection unit and a control unit. The bed carries a subject. The radiation irradiating head irradiates a treatment radiation to a treatment field of the subject. The head swing mechanisms, which are coupled to the radiation irradiating head, swings the head of the radiation irradiating head so that the treatment radiation emitted from the radiation irradiating head pursues the motion of the treatment field. The precise inspection unit obtains a diagnosis image containing the treatment field. The control unit controls the positions of the head swing mechanisms so that an irradiation field of the radiation irradiating head pursues the treatment field, based on the diagnosis image, the position of the radiation irradiating head and the state of the swung head. Then, the control unit controls the radiation irradiating head so that the treatment radiation is irradiated from the radiation irradiating head, after the positional control of the head swing mechanisms.

Radiotherapy device

A radiotherapy apparatus comprising an irradiation head having a linear accelerator and an intra-head waveguide unit whose one end portion is electromagnetically connected to the linear accelerator, a supporting moving mechanism which supports and moves the irradiation head on predetermined first spherical coordinates, a microwave oscillator which generates microwaves to be supplied to the irradiation head, and which is placed in a stationary position, a fixed waveguide unit having one end portion electromagnetically connected to the microwave oscillator, and the other end portion positioned on the supporting moving mechanism, and a moving waveguide unit having one end portion electromagnetically connected to the other end portion of the fixed waveguide unit positioned on the supporting moving mechanism.

According to the invention, the rear end of a preceding metal piece and a front end of a succeeding metal piece are heated, pressed and joined prior to the finishing hot rolling. An alternating magnetic field running through the metal pieces in the thickness direction thereof is generated in an end region on opposed faces of the respective metal pieces to perform heating. Another alternating magnetic field whose direction is reverse with respect to that of the former alternating magnetic field is partially generated in the end region on the opposed faces of the metal pieces and in either a region where the metal pieces exist or a region outside width ends of the metal pieces. This assures a uniform heating of the end region on the opposed faces of the metal pieces over their full width to reliably join the both metal pieces to each other.

Method and apparatus for joining metal pieces using induction heating

A method and apparatus for joining metal pieces wherein the rear end of a preceding metal piece and a front end of a metal piece are heated and then pressed together prior to hot finished rolling. The temperature the ends of the metal pieces are heated to is a temperature range between the solidus and liquidus line temperatures of the metal(s) to be joined.

Method and apparatus for joining metal pieces

Method and apparatus for joining metal pieces using induction heating. Metal pieces to be joined are placed end-to-end with a gap between them and induction heated in the thickness portion. To maximize speed and even heating edge-to-edge of the ends, members of a magnetic substance are provided in a gap between the inductor and the piece to be heated, thereby enhancing local heating effect by increasing magnetic flux density. Once heated, the ends are pressed together end-to-end for joining.

An apparatus for joining metal pieces using induction heating. Preceding and succeeding metal pieces are followed by a carriage which carries an inductor. The inductor has the ability to move in the longitudinal direction of the metal pieces relative to the carriage to allow the inductor to move more or less upon the preceding or succeeding metal pieces to increase or decrease the induction heating effect, thereby taking into account any thickness variation of the metal pieces and yet still heating them evenly with regard to each other, prior to their being pressed against each other for joining before hot finishing rolling.

An electron beam emitted from an electron gun enters into an accelerator 8 through a magnetic lens and is accelerated by a large number of accelerating tube discs within the accelerator, resonance cavities formed thereby and a magnetic field supplied from the outside. Then, it is focused by a focusing magnet and enters into an energy analyzer and scanned by a beam scanner, and is irradiated as a beam onto a sterilization goods item. On the outside of the accelerator there is disposed a cooling jacket for making uniform the thermal expansions of the resonance cavities due to thermal load. Also, by providing frequency adjusting means for adjusting the frequency of an accelerating microwave input through an input coupler and also by the cooling jacket having its thickness gradually increased from the inlet toward the outlet so as to make the thermal expansions of the resonance cavities zero, it becomes possible to make the amount of variation in the acceleration phase zero to thereby enable provision of an accelerator apparatus with large output and high energy density. Furthermore, in the energy analyzer, a particle energy necessary for sterilization is selected by bending magnet energy means and slit and irradiated, with the result that an effective electronic sterilizer apparatus can be realized.

A deflection magnetic system and method are provided to deflect an electron beam through a predetermined angle while maintaining a circular cross-section for the electron beam. A plurality of spaced magnetic fields are provided to deflect the electron beam through angles less than the total predetermined angle, but the total angle is achieved when the beam passes through the last magnetic field. Magnetic shields are provided between the spaced magnetic fields to absorb any undesired leakage magnetic flux.
