Abstract: A LIDAR device for measuring a distance to an object in a scanning zone includes a light source, a light receiver, a rotatable mirror, a motor, an angle sensor, and a controller. The rotatable mirror is configured to reflect the light beam emitted from the light source toward the scanning zone. The motor is configured to rotate the mirror back and forth between a first position and a second position. The angle sensor is configured to detect a rotation angle of the mirror and to output a detection signal indicative of the rotation angle of the mirror at a plurality of predetermined angle intervals during each rotation cycle between the first position and the second position of the mirror. The controller is configured to output a control signal to the light source to emit a light beam upon receiving the detection signal from the angle sensor.

Abstract: A ferrule for an optical connector includes: a body portion having fiber holes into which optical fibers are inserted, and a connecting end face through which the fiber holes are opened. The fiber holes include: first fiber holes disposed at a predetermined pitch in a first direction on the connecting end face; and second fiber holes disposed at the predetermined pitch in the first direction and at positions different from positions of the first fiber holes in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The positions of the second fiber holes are shifted by substantially half the predetermined pitch in the first direction with respect to the positions of the first fiber holes. A rear side of the body portion is opposite to the connecting end face in an insertion direction of the fiber holes.

Abstract: A display apparatus includes a display unit that displays plural images corresponding to plural image data, respectively, the plural image data being associated with plural pieces of position information which are different from one another; a display position converter that converts the position information associated with each image into display position information that reflects a positional relationship relative to the position information of another image on a display screen of the display unit; and a display controller that causes the display unit to display the plural images based upon the display position information of each image converted by the display position converter.

Abstract: A digital camera is provided with a photographing lens having a aperture mechanism, an imaging section, including an image sensor for capturing a subject image via the photographing lens, a display section capable of displaying image information, an aperture drive section for driving the aperture mechanism to a specified position in response to manual operation of a preview instruction member, and a control section for causing execution of an exposure operation for a specified period in the imaging section, and causing display of a moving image on the display section based on image data acquired by the exposure operation. The control section stops the moving image display during drive of the aperture mechanism by the aperture drive mechanism, to thereby prevent unnatural variation in brightness of an image in live view display when a preview operation is carried out.
