Abstract: System(s) and method(s) to probe electromagnetic fields at the surface of a solid-state material are provided. The technique combines ultrafast (e.g., less than 10 fs) optical excitation and electron microscopy to generate electronic excitations and image the ensuing electromagnetic fields with nanometer-scale spatial resolution and femtosecond time-scale resolution. In addition, time-of-flight energy analysis facilitates imaging of relaxation a generated electronic excitation. The dynamics of the electromagnetic fields can be probed interferometrically through generation of multi-frame imaging, with inter-frame frequency of the order of a few hundreds of attoseconds, of interference patterns among an electric field associated with an excitation in a sample or device and the electromagnetic field of a probe pulse coherent with an excitation pulse.

Abstract: A projection display device includes: a projection portion which enlarges and projects the light modulated by a imager portion; a control circuit; and a main body cabinet. The projection portion is formed by a projection lens portion into which the light from the imager portion is entered and a mirror portion which reflects the light having passed through the projection lens portion and lets the light travel toward a projection plane. The mirror portion is disposed so as to be shifted from an optical axis of the projection lens portion in a direction opposite to a direction in which the incident light from the projection lens portion is turned back. The control circuit portion is disposed in a space which is produced between the projection lens portion and the main body cabinet by a position gap between the projection lens portion and the mirror portion.

Abstract: An image display apparatus has a first exhaust fan (13) for mainly exhausting air from a light source unit (9) and discharging the air to the outside of the image display apparatus and a second exhaust fan (14) for mainly exhausting air from a power supply unit (11) and discharging the air to the outside of said image display apparatus. The inspiration face of the second exhaust fan is arranged to partly overlap the expiration face of the first exhaust fan. Accordingly, the internal temperature of the image display apparatus, and hence the temperature of the exhaust air, can be efficiently reduced, and at the same time fan noise of the fans can be reduced. As a result, uprating of power of the light source unit and downsizing of an image display apparatus can be simultaneously achieved.

Abstract: A projection type image display apparatus of the invention has a lamp mounting mechanism, which has an aluminum lamp holder (166) intervening between the lamp (16) and the resin lamp holder (167) and has a section exposed out of the resin lamp holder (167). The lamp (16) is securely fixed in position on the aluminum lamp holder (166) by mounting the lamp (16) on the aluminum lamp holder (166) from above and then folding the top section (166d) towards the top end of the lamp (16). This lamp mounting mechanism can suppress the temperature of the resin lamp holder without providing a cooling fan with a large amount of power and suppress fan noise, thereby simultaneously enabling uprating of the power of the lamp and downsizing of the image display apparatus.

Abstract: A grinding wheel having a convex grinding surface is attached to a wheel spindle that is contactlessly supported by a casing through a controlled type axial magnetic bearing and controlled type radial magnetic bearings and that is rotated by an electric motor. A groove of a workpiece is ground by causing relative displacement of the casing. After the axial positioning of the casing is performed, the casing is radially displaced. Then, the groove is ground. The stiffness value of the axial magnetic bearing 6 is set to be lower than a normal value before the casing is radially displaced. After it is detected that the grinding surface of the grinding wheel touches the entire groove of the workpiece and that the grinding of the entire surface of the workpiece is started, the stiffness value is set back to the normal value.

Abstract: A control device includes a differential amplifying circuit for obtaining a difference between values of exciting currents (exciting voltage values) supplied to a pair of axial electromagnets and a pair of radial electromagnets, multiplying the obtained difference by coefficient times, and outputting it as the bearing load in an axial direction and a radial direction. The exciting current includes steady current supplied to the axial electromagnets and the radial electromagnets and control current which varies by the displacement of a main shaft. By supplying the steady current to the axial electromagnets and the radial electromagnets, the magnetic attraction force of the axial electromagnets and the radial electromagnets having non-linearity is linearly approximated. Accordingly, the difference between the values of the exciting currents (exciting voltages) supplied to a pair of electromagnets is obtained and is multiplied by coefficient times, thereby obtaining a value corresponding to the bearing load.
