Patent number: 9980041Abstract: An acoustic system includes: a first customer-side microphone; a first counselor-side microphone; a first sound changing unit; a first loudspeaker; a second customer-side microphone; a second counselor-side microphone; and a second loudspeaker. Between the second loudspeaker and the first customer-side microphone, a first sound transmission path is provided. Also, between the second loudspeaker and the first counselor-side microphone, a second sound transmission path is provided. These sound transmission paths have substantially the same length. The first sound signal generated by the first customer-side microphone is made to have a phase substantially opposite to that of the second sound signal generated by the first counselor-side microphone, and the sound signals are added together.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2014Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Nippon Sheet Glass Environment Amenity Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fukushi Kawakami, Masakazu Kiyama, Takehisa Okamoto

Patent number: 6707034Abstract: An ion detector includes an ion input face, a Faraday cup, an ion-to-electron converter dynode, two ion deflection electrodes, an electron multiplier portion, and an anode. The ion input face is formed with an ion input opening. The Faraday cup has an ion collection surface that confronts the ion input opening. The ion-to-electron converter dynode is disposed to one side with respect to the Faraday cup and the ion input opening and has a conversion surface that converts impinging ions into electrons. The two ion deflection electrodes generate an electron lens that attracts and focuses ions from the ion input opening toward the conversion surface of the ion-to-electron converter dynode. The electron multiplier portion receives and multiplies the electrons from the ion-to-electron converter dynode, and includes a plurality of dynodes that multiply electrons one after the other. The plurality of dynodes are juxtaposed in an arc-shape around the Faraday cup.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Haruhisa Yamaguchi, Makoto Nakamura, Takehisa Okamoto, Hiroshi Suzuki, Takayuki Ohmura

Patent number: 5446275Abstract: The electron multiplying device according to this invention comprises an electron multiplying unit including dynodes arranged in a plurality of stages. The electron multiplying unit has an incidence opening for an energy beam to be multiplied to enter through, and has the proximal end secured to a base. There is provided a casing for housing the electron multiplying unit. The forward edge of the casing is secured to the base, and a space defined by the base and the casing houses the electron multiplying unit. The casing has an entrance window formed at a position opposed to the incidence opening. Energy beams enter the electron multiplying unit through the entrance window, but the electron multiplying unit itself is housed in the casing to be protected from surrounding air flow and unnecessary energy beams not to be measured.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1993Date of Patent: August 29, 1995Assignee: Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.Inventors: Shiro Sakai, Takehisa Okamoto, Makoto Nakamura, Haruhisa Yamaguchi, Tetsuya Morita
