Patent number: 10627962Abstract: A projector includes an image forming unit, a projection unit, an image capturing unit, and a detection unit. The image forming unit generates projection image data based on a video signal. The projection unit projects a projection image based on the projection image data, on a projection surface. The image capturing unit generates captured image data by capturing an image of the projection surface for each line or for each block. The detection unit detects an object other than the projection image, which included in the captured image data, based on the captured image data and the projection image data. The projection unit switches projection image for each line or for each block, by scanning. The image capturing unit starts sequential image capturing from a region of the projection surface, in which switching is completed, during a period when at least switching of the projection image is performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi Toyooka, Shingo Wakimoto, Akio Murakami

Patent number: 8720039Abstract: A laminated core punching apparatus, configured such that a stator-punching press machine that has a molding die performing a partial punching gradually approaches the shape of the stator core piece. There is a punching die to punching out the stator core piece from a strip-form steel plate, and two stator lamination stations. A rotor-punching press machine and a stator-punching press machine are constructed to operate synchronously. An intermediate loop portion capable of causing a strip-form steel plate to hang down in a loop is provided in order to adjust a length of the strip-form steel plate between the two press machines, and a loop guide portion that guides a loop locus of the strip-form steel plate from above so that the strip-form steel plate does not invert is disposed above the intermediate loop portion to be capable of ascending and descending.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2011Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Aisin AW Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuya Matsubara, Shigeru Maeda, Atsuya Takagi, Takuya Ooura, Hajime Nishiguchi, Motoki Koori, Masahiro Hayabuchi, Susumu Kato, Keishi Ohki, Kenji Shinohara, Akio Murakami

Patent number: 8662437Abstract: When current collecting wires are laid in parallel with each other on a solar cell on which a photosensitive film is formed, a wire tension adjusting mechanism is provided which includes a bobbin holder shaft pivotally held on the side of a frame in a bobbin cassette in a wiring apparatus and a wire bobbin is detachably fixed on the bobbin holder shaft. The wire tension adjusting mechanism further includes a pre-load means for adjusting the torque of the bobbin holder shaft and the tension of each current collecting wire to be drawn out from the wire bobbin held by the bobbin shaft is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2007Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Tohoku Seiki Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Keitaro Harada, Masayoshi Yokoo, Koichi Yoshida, Akio Murakami

Patent number: 6536835Abstract: A door module panel is initially mounted with a door harness and is provided with a panel hole at a position where a descending window glass does not interfere. The door harness is wired from a first surface facing a passenger compartment of the door module panel to a second surface facing a door frame through the panel hole. The door module panel has a side face, from a middle portion of which a protruding member is extended and bent towards the door frame. The protruding member includes a harness hole, through which is passed the door harness extending from the second surface of the door module panel. The door harness is then fitted into the harness hole with a grommet. The door frame is provided with a side panel notched with a groove. When the door module panel is incorporated into the door frame, the protruding member fits into the notched groove on the same plane. The door harness thus can be installed very easily.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Akio Murakami, Seiji Fukumoto
