  • Patent number: 11754915
    Abstract: A light source apparatus includes light sources emitting first and second polarized light, an optical element transmitting one of the polarized light and reflecting the other, a polarization rotator generating polarization rotated light from the first polarized light, a wavelength convertor converting the second polarized light into wavelength converted light, and a controller. The optical element generates emitted light by combining the wavelength converted light and polarization rotated light. The controller acquires respective deterioration amounts of the light sources, and controls, based on respective changes in light emission amounts from the light sources acquired from the deterioration amounts, the light emission amount from at least one of the light sources for making different respective change amounts of the light emission amounts from the light sources, or changing a ratio between respective light emission amounts from the light sources.

  • Publication number: 20230082618
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to perform offline management of use of usage target object by a user having a ticket, while reducing risk on security. A use permit that includes transaction information specifying usage conditions for the user to use the usage target object, is added as a two-dimensional code printed on a ticket. A utilization management device takes an image of the two-dimensional code added to the ticket to read the use permit from the image. Then, the utilization management device verifies a signature added to the use permit by using a public key provided in advance by a provider of the usage target object. If verification is established, the utilization management device refers transaction information included in the use permit to permit for user to use of the usage target object when usage condition specified by the transaction information are satisfied.
