Abstract: The projector appropriately generates white light from a laser light source and uses the white light for image display. A white light generator that generates white light from blue light and yellow light includes a dichroic mirror that is irradiated with blue light from a blue laser, a first condenser lens that focuses the blue light that has passed through the dichroic mirror, a diffusion plate that diffuses the focused blue light, a second condenser lens that focuses the blue light obtained by allowing the diffused blue light to pass through the dichroic mirror, and a phosphor that is irradiated with the focused blue light to emit yellow light; the diffusion plate is an alumina ceramic plate; the dichroic mirror has a first region that transmits one of the blue light and the yellow light and reflects the other and a second region that reflects or transmits both.

Abstract: A projector generates white light from a laser light source and uses the white light for image display. The white light generator has a rectangular light generating lens that generates excitation light of a rectangular shape from the blue light of a blue laser and a phosphor wheel, coated with a phosphor that is irradiated with the excitation light, to emit yellow light. In the phosphor wheel, a length in the vertical direction of a rectangular shape of an irradiation region is represented by v, and a length in the horizontal direction is represented by h, wherein h<v; and a center of the rectangular shape is within any one of a region having an angle of 45° or more and 135° or less and a region having an angle of 225° or more and 315° or less in the phosphor coat region of the phosphor wheel.

Abstract: A projector includes: a white light generator that uses a blue laser as a light source to generate blue light and yellow light based on the blue laser and generates white light including the generated blue light and yellow light; and an optical system that modulates light based on the white light generated by the white light generator with an image display element and projects the modulated light, wherein the white light generator includes: a dichroic mirror that is irradiated with the blue light from the blue laser as the light source; a first condenser lens that focuses blue light being reflected by or passing through the dichroic mirror; a diffusion plate that diffuses the blue light focused by the first condenser lens; a second condenser lens that focuses the blue light passing through or being reflected by the dichroic mirror; and a phosphor that emits yellow light.

Abstract: An electric toothbrush includes a grip portion, a brush portion on which a replaceable toothbrush is mounted, and an illumination ring between the grip portion and the brush portion. The illumination ring is provided around the toothbrush as an annular structure so that a user can view the illumination ring no matter what angle he/she is holding the toothbrush.

Abstract: An electric toothbrush includes a grip portion, a brush portion, and a joint arrangement for connecting the two portions. The joint arrangement has an upper cylinder portion and a lower cylinder portion, with an axis of the upper cylinder portion being inclined a predetermined angle with respect to an axis of the lower cylinder portion. The grip portion is connected to the lower cylinder portion and the brush portion is connected to the upper cylinder portion, so that the grip portion and the brush portion are inclined by the predetermined angle.

Abstract: A belt includes a belt main body extending in a long, narrow band. A frame-shaped body is attached to a first belt portion corresponding to a side on an end in a lengthwise direction of the belt main body. Multiple through-holes are formed in alignment in the lengthwise direction in a second belt portion corresponding to a side opposite to the first belt portion in the lengthwise direction of the belt main body. A locking member is included for attachment to a through-hole of the second belt portion so as to protrude from a front surface of the second belt portion. When the belt main body is mounted on the target object, the second belt portion is passed through the frame-shaped body, and the side of the frame-shaped body locks the locking member so as to prevent the second belt portion from coming out of the frame-shaped body.

Abstract: A belt of the present invention includes a belt main body (10) that extends in the form of a long. narrow band. A frame-shaped body (13) is attached to a first belt portion (11) corresponding to a side on an end in a lengthwise direction (Y) of the belt main body (10). Multiple through-holes (21, 22; 21, 22; . . . ) are formed in alignment in the lengthwise direction (Y) in the second belt portion (12) corresponding to a side opposite to the first belt portion (11) in the lengthwise direction (Y) of the belt main body (10). A locking member (14) is included which is to be attached to a through-hole (21, 22) of the second belt portion (12) so as to protrude from a front surface (12a) of the second belt portion (12).

Abstract: An image displaying apparatus for displaying an image based on image data containing a spot color on a displaying section in order to check a finish of a color proof. The apparatus includes: a display color setting section for previously setting and registering color information of a predetermined display color to be displayed on the displaying section; a color information detecting section for detecting color information of the spot color in the image data for the color proof; a color information setting section for setting the color information of the display color, which is previously set and registered, as the color information of the spot color when the color information of the spot color cannot be detected; and a display control section for controlling to display the spot color on the display section, based on the color information set by the color information setting section.

Abstract: There is described an image outputting system for outputting images as color samples for proof of a large-sized image greater than the allowed image output region of the image outputting apparatus. Further, there is described an image outputting system, a controlling apparatus, an image dividing method, a program to execute the method, and a storage medium having the program, wherein, in the case of dividing and outputting image data of a large sized image which is too large to be recorded on a recording medium, it is possible to perform dividing-output of the image in a proper direction of image output and on recording media of a proper size so that the number of recording media on which to output the image is minimized and the blank region in which image is not recorded is minimized.

Abstract: A cover apparatus of a cassette tape recorder comprising first and second covers rotatable to be openable and closable with respect to a body of the tape recorder. The first cover has a holder to encasing a tape cassette so that the tape cassette encased in the holder is rotatable in accordance with the rotation of the first cover, a length of the first cover in longitudinal directions being smaller than that of the tape cassette so that a portion of the tape cassette protrudes from the first cover when being encased in the holder. The second cover is arranged to be engaged with the first cover to be rotatable together with the first cover and movable along a surface of the first cover.

The first cover rotates to cover the entire tape cassette in cooperation with the second cover when the second cover is closed with respect to the tape recorder body.

Abstract: A cover opening/closing device prevents backlash when the cover is closed, by engaging the cover with a lock cam and urging the lock cam to be rotated into positions by a toggle spring. For this object, this device comprises a lock cam which is rotated about a rotational shaft provided in a main body, an operation lever which rotates the lock cam to open the cover, and a toggle spring which is designed to maintain the lock cam in urged states at the respective cover-opened and cover-closed positions. The lock cam can be kept urged in the cover-closed state.
