  • Publication number: 20220109765
    Abstract: When a home position sensor detects that an operation unit has been moved out of a home position, a function of a human detection sensor is temporarily disabled. This makes it possible to prevent the human detection sensor from wastefully continuing the detection operation although the human detection sensor is unable to detect a person intending to use an image forming apparatus, and from erroneously detecting a person not intending to use the image forming apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220078394
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus that performs processing concerning the display of a stereoscopic image so as to improve the convenience of a user in viewing a stereoscopic image. A head mount display displays a stereoscopic image using image data including a plurality of images having different viewpoints. The image data is processed based on metadata attached to the image data. In a case where information indicating that the image data is associated with a file format which cannot cause the head mount display to perform display is included in the metadata, the image data is converted into a file format which can cause the head mount display to perform display.

  • Patent number: 10889095
    Abstract: Metal plates are placed on opposed surfaces of two heating plates, the metal plates are heated. Then, a hollow plate is placed between the two heating plates, and the two heating plates are moved toward each other. The metal plates, which are heated to a high temperature, are bonded to the outer surfaces of the hollow plate by thermal fusion caused by the heat of the metal plates. After the metal plates are brought into planar contact with the hollow plate, the heating plates are moved away from each other. The heating plates sandwich the hollow plate only for a very short time. Thus, the heat of the heating plates is not transferred excessively to the hollow plate.
