  • Patent number: 11782270
    Abstract: A head-up display includes a display device and an optical system. The display device includes a display panel, an input unit, a memory, and a controller. The display panel is configured to display an image. The input unit is configured to receive calibration information indicating a position of a calibration object and first position information indicating positions of user's eyes based on an image capturing device. The memory is configured to store the calibration information. The optical system is configured to allow a user to visually recognize a virtual image plane, which is a virtual image of the image displayed on the display panel, by reflecting image light emitted corresponding to the image toward the user's eyes. The controller is configured to convert the first position information into second position information indicating the positions of the eyes based on the virtual image plane by using the calibration information.

  • Patent number: 11619308
    Abstract: Low-torque sliding components have sliding surfaces rotated relative to each other with an annular mating ring and an annular seal ring facing each other. The sliding surface of at least one of the mating ring and the seal ring has therein a plurality of multi-stepped recess portions formed in a circumferential direction. Relative rotation and sliding of the mating ring and the seal ring causes the multi-stepped recess portions to generate a dynamic pressure, and the multi-stepped recess portion is formed in a stepwise shape in a cross-sectional view by a dynamic pressure recess portion and a static pressure recess portion with the dynamic pressure recess portion surrounding the static pressure recess portion deeper than the dynamic pressure recess portion.
