来シーズン，もしサッカー観戦するなら，Amazonプライム会員なので，
Amazon Fire TV経由の視聴も視野に入れないといけないですわ。
タイミングよくデバイスが割引価格で提供されるとうれしいのですが。。。

Agreement Regarding Cooperation on Development of Fifth-Generation Quantum Beam
Cancer Treatment Facility (Quantum Scalpel) Signed by QST, Sumitomo Heavy Industries,
Toshiba, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi Electric
13 Dec, 2016
TOKYO, December 13, 2016 - Today, the National Institutes for Quantum and Radiological
and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation signed an “Agreement on Comprehensive Cooperation on
Fifth-Generation Quantum Beam Cancer Treatment Facility”.
QST successfully developed the world's first heavy ion beam treatment facility for treating cancer
in 1994 and has built a track record of treating over 10,000 people up until now. In the course of this,
QST has drawn up a vision to establish heavy ion therapy, which imposes fewer burden on patient than
surgery and other cancer treatment methods, and does not cause immunosuppression, as the basic
method of treating cancer in the future. QST intends to achieve its goal of zero cancer deaths
by widely spreading and enhancing the adoption of this promising method.
For that reason, QST plans to develop a fifth-generation quantum beam cancer treatment facility
(Quantum Scalpel) that can be used and operated at every potential medical institution in Japan
and abroad. To be specific, it will develop a heavy ion cancer treatment facility using laser acceleration
technology, superconducting technology, and other technology to achieve dramatic reductions in size
and construction costs. In parallel with those efforts, it will promote performance improvements,
such as demonstrations of practicality, for multi-ion beams, which promises to be more effective at
treating cancer than current heavy ion treatment facilities, which use carbon ions.
each of which possesses its own characteristic advanced technical expertise and constantly
developing capabilities needed to achieve the assumed tasks of this cooperative endeavor,
today agreed to the plan to develop this fifth-generation quantum beam cancer treatment facility
and have signed a “Agreement on Comprehensive Cooperation on Fifth-Generation Quantum Beam
Cancer Treatment Facility” with QST.
Mitsubishi Electric will apply their respective R&D capabilities, human resources, equipment,
and facilities to the performance of activities in accordance with the division of roles to be agreed upon
in future deliberations, with the aim of quickly developing the fifth-generation quantum beam cancer
treatment facility (Quantum Scalpel).
