  • Patent number: 9029679
    Abstract: In a touch detection apparatus 50, the controller 51 predicts damper-on arrival time as time of arrival of generation of a damper-on event based on a period of time counted by a first counter 54 from when a second contact point 160b is turned off until when a first contact point 160a is turned off. The second counter 55 counts time to be compared to the damper-on arrival time. The comparator circuit 58 compares the time counted by the second counter 55 and the damper-on arrival time. If the time counted by the second counter 55 and the damper-on arrival time agree with each other, the comparator circuit 58 transmits a key release agreement signal triggering generation of a damper-on event to the controller 51. If the key release agreement signal is transmitted from the comparator circuit 58, the controller 51 executes control to generate a damper-on event.

  • Patent number: 9022572
    Abstract: A projection apparatus includes a time-sharing light emitting device, a display device, a projection optical system, an illuminance sensor and a lighting determination unit. The time-sharing light emitting device successively emits color lights one by one. The display device modulates the color lights to form an image. The projection optical system projects the image. The illuminance sensor converts illuminance of the color lights into an electric signal which is an output of the illuminance sensor. The lighting determination unit compares the output with a first threshold value, and operates the time-sharing light emitting device in response to the output being more than the first threshold value, and stops the time-sharing light emitting device in response to the output being equal to or less than the first threshold value.
