  • Patent number: 11089289
    Abstract: An image processing device includes depth acquisition circuitry that uses a parallax corresponding to image data to electronically generate a depth map of an image and object detection circuitry that uses distance information and the depth map to electronically detect a specific object in the image by identifying specific pixels in the image data. The depth map includes information that pertains to distances from a reference position for each pixel in the image.

  • Publication number: 20180364488
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a display device capable of widening the stereoscopically visible region. [Solution] The display device includes: a right eye optical system of a right eye display unit (126R) configured to conduct image light to a right eye; and a left eye optical system of a left eye display unit (126L) configured to conduct the image light to a left eye. A plane passing through the right eye (2R) and a first straight line intersects with a plane passing through the left eye (2L) and a second straight line, the first straight line being perpendicular to a right eye virtual image (30R) formed by the right eye optical system, the second straight line corresponding to the first straight line and being perpendicular to a left eye virtual image (30L) formed by the left eye optical system.

  • Patent number: 9869614
    Abstract: A sampling apparatus includes a pressure-reducing safety unit, which includes a device accommodation chamber that accommodates safety devices and a cylinder connection chamber, and a cylinder unit. The cylinder unit removably accommodates a cylinder, excluding an exposed portion where a front end portion of the cylinder, a mouthpiece, and a cylinder on-off valve are exposed, in an openable/closable casing. The exposed portion of the cylinder is formed so as to be insertable from the open surface portion of the cylinder connection chamber into the cylinder connection chamber, the mouthpiece of the cylinder and a hydrogen outlet of a supply pipe of the device accommodation chamber are connected by using a flexible hose, and thereby a sample of hydrogen gas is taken into the cylinder.

  • Patent number: 7759845
    Abstract: An optical element satisfactory in transparency and characteristics as an optical modulation element, and a piezoelectric substance element satisfactory in precision and reproducibility as a fine element such as MEMS can be provided. The piezoelectric substance element includes, on a substrate, at least a first electrode, a piezoelectric substance film and a second electrode. The piezoelectric substance film does not contain a layer-structured boundary plane; the crystal phase constituting the piezoelectric substance film comprises at least two of a tetragonal, a rhombohedral, a pseudocubic, an orthorhombic and a monoclinic; and the piezoelectric substance film includes, in a portion in which a change in the composition is within a range of ±2%, a portion where a proportion of the different crystal phases changes gradually in a thickness direction of the film.
