Patent number: 11974380Abstract: A scanning light source includes a semiconductor light source and a motor, and scans output light of the semiconductor light source in front of a lamp according to the movement of the motor. A constant current driver supplies a driving current ILED to the semiconductor light source according to a light source control signal. A light source control signal generator generates the light source control signal so as to obtain a light distribution pattern that corresponds to light distribution instruction data. A delay time measurement device measures the delay time required for the transition of the on/off states of the semiconductor light source from the change of the light source control signal.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Kentarou Murakami, Atsushi Uesugi, Toshiyuki Tsuchiya

Publication number: 20160039443Abstract: A conveyance cart having a drive source such as an engine or an electric motor has a complicated structure and is expensive. Using such a conveyance cart exclusively for carrying a generator is not economical. To solve the problem, a simple-structured, low-priced conveyance cart is provided.
