A mammographic method and apparatus are provided for obtaining improved compression of posterior, middle and anterior breast tissue without pushing posterior breast tissue from the imaging volume and with less discomfiture to the patient. An initial compression of the posterior tissue is achieved by vertical, relative displacement of the paddle relative to the bucky assembly to compress the posterior breast tissue therebetween. Less patient discomfiture is achieved by using an inclined compression surface on the paddle or bucky assembly to compress the anterior and middle breast sufficiently for good X-ray imaging without further displacement of the skin adjacent the chest wall. A horizontal force component inclined force will not push the posterior compressed breast tissue from the imaging area. Herein a paddle may have a posterior breast section and have a flexed section which is biased to engage and conform to the breast shape. The flexed section may be releasably held by a lock and then released to apply compression forces to the middle and anterior breast. The flexed section is guided to remain level and to uniformly compress breasts which are not centered thereunder and without binding. The buckey assembly may have a hinged inclined section to compress the middle and anterior portions of the breast. The entire bucky assembly may be hinged to raise the image detector thereon and thereby lessen the heel effect. Alternatively, the bucky cover may be hinged to swing upwardly into an inclined position to compress the middle and anterior breast portions while the image detector is not.

A vehicular driving control system for performing vehicular driving control based on automated driving and/or driving assistance is provided. The vehicular driving control system includes a driver operation measuring instrument that measures driving operation of a driver, a user uneasiness degree measuring instrument that measures how large a degree of uneasiness of a user is, and a driving control apparatus. When it is determined that the user feels uneasy based on the user uneasiness degree, the driving control apparatus determines an uneasiness factor serving as a source of the uneasiness based on user property data in relation to a traveling situation of a vehicle. Based on the determined uneasiness factor, the driving control apparatus adjusts a control degree of the vehicular driving control, and changes the vehicular driving control so as to decrease the uneasiness of the user.

By adopting the robot customer service method, the customer service effectiveness can be improved; and the user experience is improved.

An improved animal medical collar includes openings allowing pets, domestic, and captive wild animals wearing the medical collar to freely see and smell their surroundings while preventing access to a wound or surgical area. The openings are sized and spaced to allow the animal to view and smell it's surroundings and provides increased air circulation around the animal's head. Providing such viewing and perception of odors and scents relieves the stress and anxiety the animal would otherwise experience.
