  • Patent number: 11956415
    Abstract: The occlusion is faithfully expressed even in the binocular vision in the AR display by a head mounted display apparatus or the like. A head mounted display apparatus 10 includes a lens, a lens, a camera, a camera, and a control processor. A CG image for a right eye is displayed on the lens. A CG image for a left eye is displayed on the lens. The camera captures an image for the right eye. The camera captures an image for the left eye. The control processor generates the CG image for the right eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the right eye is expressed and the CG image for the left eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the left eye is expressed, based on the images captured by the cameras and projects the generated CG image for the right eye and CG image for the left eye onto the lenses and. A center of a lens of the camera is provided at the same position as a center of the lens. A center of a lens of the camera is provided at the same position as a center of the lens.

  • Patent number: 11808008
    Abstract: A construction machine is capable of reducing a decrease in work efficiency due to maintenance for capturing dust. The construction machine includes: an engine; a heat exchanger; a cooling fan that sucks air into an engine chamber to pass the air through the heat exchanger; an intake chamber independent of the engine chamber; an intake tube connected to the intake chamber; and a dust receiving part. The intake tube has a curved part, which has an outside inner wall surface allowing dust in the air to contact it. The dust receiving part is located downstream of the outside inner wall surface to be capable of receiving dust.

  • Patent number: 11685305
    Abstract: A vehicular light switch can change the mode of an exterior-illuminating light by rotating to different positions including an auto setting and a SMALL setting. If the position of the vehicular light switch is rotated to the SMALL setting, a momentary mechanism returns the position to the auto setting. If extravehicular brightness is less than a prescribed value and the position is rotated to the SMALL setting whilst the vehicle is stationary, a first light controller turns off a low-beam light, and turns on the low-beam light if the vehicle runs afterwards. If extravehicular brightness is less than a prescribed value and the position is rotated to the SMALL setting while the vehicle is running, a second light controller keeps the low-beam light turned on.

  • Publication number: 20050180543
    Abstract: Distributed non-charged particles having a desired particle diameter are introduced into a chamber. A photoionizer in which a soft X-ray power is adjustable is attached to the chamber, to charge the particles within the chamber. The power level of the soft X-ray is adjusted by a controller so as to produce singly charged particles. The charged particles are then introduced into a differential mobility analyzer for classification, thus producing monodisperse standard particles having particle diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 ?m.
