  • Patent number: 12724335
    Abstract: A projection device includes a light source, spatial light modulator, a control unit, and a shield. The spatial light modulator has a modulation part that modulates the phase of light emitted from the light source. The control unit divides the modulation part of the spatial light modulator into at least two regions and sets phase images of the target image in these regions. The light source is controlled to emit light onto the modulation parts with the phase images. The shield allows light from the image region for the desired image to pass through as projection light while blocking light from an unnecessary region, including ghost images.

  • Patent number: 12719983
    Abstract: A first gateway registers an extension number of a terminal apparatus to an extension control means. A flow control means routes an outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus and an outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus between the first gateway and a second gateway. When receiving the outgoing call originated from the terminal apparatus from the first gateway, the extension control means processes the outgoing call as an outgoing call from the extension number of the terminal apparatus. In addition, when an outgoing call addressed to the extension number of the terminal apparatus is made, the extension control means transmits the outgoing call addressed to the terminal apparatus to the first gateway.
