  • Publication number: 20130257857
    Abstract: An image projected onto a screen from a projector is generated as follows. Specifically, two virtual viewpoints that correspond to the right eye and the left eye of a viewer are set in a virtual three-dimensional space, and two virtual planes are set to be circumscribed to the screen (plane of projection). A plane image is generated by perspective projection transformation of a game space onto the virtual plane based on each virtual viewpoint. A projection image is generated from each plane image according to the relationship between the pixel position of the virtual plane and the pixel position of the projection image that is defined so that the plane image is observed without distortion when observing the screen from a presumed viewing position to generate a right-eye projection image and a left-eye projection image.

  • Patent number: 7183534
    Abstract: A photodetector includes a light emitting portion for applying light, a light receiving portion for sensing the light, and a light guiding member 3 for guiding the light from the light emitting portion to a surface to be measured and guiding detection light from the surface to be measured to the light receiving portion. The light guiding member has a sheet-like optical transmission medium, which is disposed at a portion facing to the surface to be measured and transmits the light by internal reflection. The sheet-like optical transmission member has an optical aperture facing to the surface to be measured.

  • Patent number: 6393228
    Abstract: A toner amount measuring apparatus includes an irradiating unit which divides a flux of laser beams emitted from a laser diode into two fluxes of laser beams by an obtuse-angled prism and makes the two light fluxes interfere with each other to form interference fringes on a photosensitive roll, and a photodetecting unit including an optical sensor for detecting reflection light obtained by reflecting the light constituting the interference fringes from the photosensitive roll.

  • Patent number: 6308024
    Abstract: It is a purpose of the invention to provide a dust protector for an image exposure device capable of preventing particles from sticking to windows or the like of the image exposure device and free from moisture condensation on the windows or the like of the image exposure device as a result of direct exposure of the same to the atmosphere and an image forming apparatus utilizing the same. The purpose is achieved by providing a dust protector for an image exposure device for performing image exposure on a member to be exposed from below with a dust protective member for preventing particles from sticking to at least a member located above an optical path of the image exposure device by covering the image exposure device from above without blocking the optical path of the image exposure device and an air flow generating unit for generating an air flow that prevents particles from entering the region covered by the dust protective member.

  • Patent number: 6104524
    Abstract: A polygon mirror 36 have reflecting surfaces being arrayed such that the reflecting surfaces each having coatings 38 at both ends thereof and the reflecting surfaces having no coating are alternately arrayed. A beam width of a light beam reflected by a coating facet 36A is smaller than a beam width of a light beam by a non-coating facet 36B. Alight beam (first light beam) is deflected by the coating facet 36A, and it lands on a photoreceptor. A light beam (second light beam) is deflected by the non-coating facet 36B, and it lands on the photoreceptor. At this time, a beam diameter of the first light beam on the photoreceptor in the first scan direction is larger than that of the second light beam. When the laser beam is deflected by the non-coating facet 36B, the laser beam is modulated by image data. When it is deflected by the coating facet 36A, the laser beam is modulated by bias data.
