Patents by Inventor Hidei Kimura

Hidei Kimura has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11164057
    Abstract: This invention relates to a visible image unit identification code structure using a spatial visible image forming device. A spatial visible image forming device is used that includes: a laser source that emits a laser beam in an invisible region; a scanning means that scans the laser beam; a condensing optical system that condenses the laser beam to a drawing scheduled point in a space so as to cause plasma emission of a gas; and a control means that controls oscillation timing of the laser source and scanning timing of the scanning means so as to generate the plasma emission at the drawing scheduled point in a time series and draw a visible image as an afterimage phenomenon of the plasma emission.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 6, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2021
    Assignee: BURTON INC.

  • Patent number: 7766485
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for forming a visible image which can draw a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional visible image without having a scanning locus of a laser beam recognized. The device for forming a visible image of the present invention is comprised of a laser source irradiating a laser beam in an invisible region, a scanning means for scanning said laser beam two-dimensionally or three-dimensionally, a condensing optical system for condensing said laser beam to a drawing scheduled point in the air for plasma emission of a gas, and a controlling means for controlling oscillation timing of said laser source and scanning timing of said scanning means so as to generate said plasma emission at said drawing scheduled point in a time series and for drawing a visible image as a residual image phenomenon of the plasma emission.
