  • Publication number: 20070091429
    Abstract: A tilting device and an operation method thereof are disclosed. The tilting device according to the invention comprises a mirror positioned on a light path which periodically tilts light, a mirror holder joined to the mirror which vibrates with the mirror, a holder support part supporting the mirror holder to allow vibration, and a driving part which provides driving power to the mirror holder, wherein the driving part forms a predetermined angle with the mirror holder and causes vibration about the intersecting first axis and second axis. Thus, the tilting device may not only provide a smooth and natural display but also reduce the number of digital micro-mirror pixels.

  • Publication number: 20060291080
    Abstract: A tilting device for repeatedly tilting light reflected from a micro-mirror panel is disclosed. A vibration type tilting device, comprising a mirror positioned on a light path which reflects light transmitted from a digital micro-mirror panel, a mirror holder having the mirror joined to a side thereof, a coil joined to the reverse side of the mirror holder, and a magnet which generates a magnetic field passing through the coil, where portions of the mirror holder are removed to decrease the mass moment of inertia of the mirror holder, may not only provide a smooth and natural display by periodically tilting light reflected from a digital micro-mirror panel in constant time intervals but also may improve the tracking ability of the mirror and reduce residual vibration.

  • Patent number: 6999245
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dynamic aperture driving apparatus for adjusting the amount of light of a projection optical system and a method of controlling the same. The system includes a rotation means, a driving means, a first detection means and a first detection means. The rotation means is connected at the upper end thereof to the dynamic aperture to be rotated to the right and left within a range of rotating angles. The driving means rotates the rotation means to the right and left according to a predetermined electric signal. The first detection means detects the position of the rotation means using a Hall effect. The second detection means detects the operational error of the first detection means due to variation in temperature.

  • Patent number: 6406628
    Abstract: The present invention provides to a method for removing nitrogen and phosphorous in wastewater simultaneously from wastewater by employing fermentation broth obtained by anaerobic fermentation of organic solid wastes. The method for removing nitrogen and phosphorous in wastewater of the invention comprises the steps of subjecting organic waste material to anaerobic fermentation at 30 to 40° C. for 2 to 4 days by using anaerobic sludge to obtain fermentation broth; and, adding the fermentation broth to a sequencing batch reactor with alternating anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic cycles under anaerobic and anoxic conditions in a separate manner. In accordance with the present invention, nitrogen in the influent wastewater can be removed more than 95% in total and phosphorous concentration can be kept below 1 ppm regardless of the concentration of organic materials in the influent wastewater.
