  • Patent number: 8833948
    Abstract: It is a task to provide a mobile electronic device with high operability and high safety. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a detector that detects a specific change in an irradiation area of light irradiated from the image projector or in a predetermined area including the irradiation area, and a control unit that controls the operation of the image projector. The task is solved in such a manner that when the detector detects the specific change, the control unit causes the image projector to stop emission of light therefrom, or to reduce an amount of light emitted therefrom.

  • Patent number: 8696142
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a mobile electronic device with high operability and high safety. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a control unit that controls the operation of the image projector, a cabinet that holds the image projector and the control unit, and an acceleration sensor that detects an acceleration acting on the cabinet. The object is achieved in such a manner that when an acceleration of a given value or more is detected by the acceleration sensor, the control unit stops emission of light from the image projector or reduces an amount of light emitted from the image projector.

  • Publication number: 20120013857
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a mobile electronic device capable of reducing a possibility that a position to which an image is projected changes unintentionally. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a housing that supports the image projector, a vibration generator that can vibrate the housing and adjust the intensity of the vibration, and a control unit that controls operations of the image projector and the vibration generator. The mobile electronic device is configured that the control unit suppresses the vibration according to projection by the image projector, and the task is thereby solved.

  • Patent number: 7288416
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide ionic polymers that can provide for polymer-comprising substrates whose surfaces can stably and easily immobilize ligands such as sugar chains interacting with biological substances, in which the ligand portion exists stably even in water or buffer, and its detection capability does not decrease for a long period of time; and substrates comprising the polymers. The ionic polymer of this invention comprises two or more ionic functional groups (A) and two or more biointeracting groups represented by formula L-X-B-[wherein, L denotes a ligand capable of interacting with a biological substance, X denotes a spacer, and B denotes a binding group] as side chains covalently bound to a main chain polymer.
