  • Patent number: 11926064
    Abstract: A remote control manipulator system includes: a manipulator being controlled by an operator remotely to handle an object; a stereoscopic display device that displays a right-eye image and a left-eye image so as to be stereoscopically viewed; a model image generator that generates a model image being an image of an integrated three-dimensional model viewed from a viewpoint designated by the operator, the integrated three-dimensional model being a three-dimensional model obtained by integrating the manipulator model and a surrounding environment model being generated by performing image processing on the right-eye image and the left-eye image and being a three-dimensional model of the object and a surrounding environment thereof; and a model image display device that displays the model image and is configured to be able to be viewed by the operator switching between the stereoscopic display device and the model image display device through moving the head of the operator.

  • Publication number: 20230371146
    Abstract: The light-emitting device includes a solid-state light-emitting element, driving capacitors and a switching element which are formed on/in a substrate. When the switching element is turned on, the switching element forms a driving current loop for discharging charged electric charges of the driving capacitors to the solid-state light-emitting element. The driving capacitors are configured to store a driving electric charge for the solid-state light-emitting element and are connected in parallel. Each of the capacitors, the solid-state light-emitting element, and the switching element form a plurality of driving current loops. The capacitances of the capacitors are substantially equal, and the capacitors are formed at substantially equidistant positions from the solid-state light-emitting element.

  • Publication number: 20230123626
    Abstract: The present invention provides a crosslinked polymer composition exhibiting significantly improved elongation at break over conventional ones, and a polymer composition and a polyrotaxane, each of which can be used as a raw material of the crosslinked polymer composition. The polyrotaxane contains a linear molecule, a cyclic molecule, and a blocking group, wherein the cyclic molecule has a hydrosilyl group. The polymer composition contains the polyrotaxane and a polymer, wherein the polymer has a double bond on at least either a main chain or a side chain. The crosslinked polymer composition is produced by crosslinking of the polymer composition through chemical reaction between the hydrosilyl group of the cyclic molecule and the double bond of the polymer.
