Patent number: 9936559Abstract: A light-emitting device (10) includes a first light-emitting region (100) and a second light-emitting region (200). The first light-emitting region (100) emits a light ray having a first color by making a first light-emitting layer group including at least two or more kinds of light-emitting layers emit light. In addition, the second light-emitting region (200) emits a light ray having the first color (for example, daylight color, natural white color, white color, warm white color, or incandescent color) by making a second light-emitting layer group including at least two or more kinds of light-emitting layers emit light. In addition, at least one kind of light-emitting layer included in the second light-emitting layer group emits a light ray having a different spectrum peak from all of the light-emitting layers included in the first light-emitting layer group. Therefore, the color-rendering properties of light emitted from the light-emitting device (10) are improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignees: PIONEER CORPORATION, TOHOKU PIONEER CORPORATIONInventors: Shuichi Seki, Shigehiro Umetsu, Hiroki Tan, Katsuhiro Kanauchi

Publication number: 20160295088Abstract: A light emitting device (10) includes a lighting section (120) and a control section (140). An imaging device (20) includes an imaging section (220). The lighting section (120) is able to adjust a spectrum distribution of light and the intensity thereof, and emits light to a photographic subject (S) to be imaged by the imaging section (220). The control section (140) controls the lighting section (120). The control section (140) emits light to the photographic subject (S) before the imaging section (220) performs imaging. Further, the control section (140) increases the intensity of light emitted from the lighting section (120) when the imaging section (220) images the photographic subject (S).Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventor: Shigehiro UMETSU

Patent number: 7624661Abstract: A supporting unit in a moving table device, easily connected to a base and a table, is provided. A supporting unit (U?) has a pair of planar bearing plates. Inside the planar bearing plates are positioned spherical bearing plates, respectively. Further, a spherical axial member is sandwiched between the spherical bearing plates (34a, 34b). A planar bearing is formed between each of the planar bearing plates and each of the spherical bearing plates. A spherical bearing is formed between each of the spherical bearing plates and the spherical axial member. Thus, the supporting unit (U?) is provided with a certain degree of movability in five-axis directions. With the high degree of movability, the supporting unit (U?) can be easily connected to a base and a table.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignees: CKD Corporation, Tohoku Pioneer CorporationInventors: Shigehiro Umetsu, Tatsuro Shimoyama, Koji Uchida
