  • Patent number: 10705626
    Abstract: A projector includes: a position detection unit which detects a designated position (XYZ coordinates) designated by a light pen; and a mode changing unit which determines that an operation button provided on the light pen is operated, and which changes a drawing mode if it is determined that the operation button is operated. The mode changing unit: changes the drawing tool if the Z coordinate of the designated position when it is determined that the operation button is operated is within a first distance range; changes the color of the pen if the Z coordinate of the designated position when it is determined that the operation button is operated is within a second distance range; and changes the thickness of the pen or the like if the Z coordinate of the designated position when it is determined that the operation button is operated is within a third distance range.

  • Patent number: 5178667
    Abstract: A pyrometallurgical refining process for obtaining one or both of zinc and lead from a sulfide concentrate, in which an iron-silicate slag or iron-silicate slag containing lime is formed and the sulfide concentrate, incombustible materials, and flux, together with at least one of industrial oxygen, oxygen-enriched air, or air, are blown into the slag to cause a reaction; as a result of the reaction, the major part of the zinc and part of the lead in the sulfide concentrate and the incombustible materials are dissolved in the slag, to arrange the slag and a matte and/or metal from one part of the lead in the raw material. A reducing agent such as heavy oil, pulverized coal, powdered coke, or the like is blown through the resulting slag, and the zinc and the lead in the slag are volatilized then condensed to obtain molten zinc and molten lead.
