  • Patent number: 6836367
    Abstract: An optical touch panel is provided which includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, reflectors for reflecting the emitted light, and a plurality of light-receiving elements for receiving the reflected light. The plurality of light-emitting elements and the plurality of light-receiving elements are arranged alternately along each of first and second adjacent sides of a rectangular position-detecting surface, and the reflectors are arranged along each of third and fourth adjacent sides of the position-detecting surface. A drive controller causes the plurality of light emitting elements to light in a predetermined order to thereby cause respective ones of the light-receiving elements arranged on opposite sides of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements to receive the light reflected by the reflectors. Hollow cylinders opposed to the respective light-receiving elements inhibit light other than the light reflected by the reflectors from being incident on the plurality of light-receiving elements.

  • Publication number: 20030156332
    Abstract: An optical touch panel includes a plurality of light-emitting elements, reflectors for reflecting lights from the plurality of light-emitting elements, and a plurality of light-receiving elements for receiving reflected lights from the reflectors. The plurality of light-emitting elements and the plurality of light-receiving elements are arranged alternately along two adjacent sides of a rectangular position-detecting surface, and the reflectors are arranged along the other two adjacent sides of the position-detecting surface, respectively. A drive controller causes the plurality of light-emitting elements to light in a predetermined order to thereby cause ones of the light-receiving elements arranged on opposite sides of each of the plurality of light-emitting elements to receive reflected lights from the reflectors.

  • Patent number: 5377247
    Abstract: A nuclear reactor core is provided with a fuel assembly which comprises channel boxes respectively separated with spaces into which control rods are arranged and a plurality of fuel rods arranged in the channel box, at least a part of the fuel rods being charged with uranium-plutonium mixture fuel and an enrichment of U-235 or a concentration of plutonium, or both being distributed in an axial direction of the fuel rods. The concentration of a burnable poison packed in the fuel rod is distributed in the axial direction of the fuel assembly. The ratio of the occupying region of a moderator of the fuel assembly is increased with respect to the fuel occupying region. The number of the fuel rods containing the burnable poison is variously changed with respect to the total number of the fuel rods and the arranging mode thereof is also varied with the concentration thereof.
