  • Patent number: 7036652
    Abstract: In a vibration type parts feeding method and a vibration type parts feeding device, welding nuts are put on a parts transportation track arranged in an inner wall of a vibration bowl of a parts feeder to be arranged in turn, and normal positioned welding nuts are sorted and transported from a parts discharging outlet at a top end portion of the track to a desired place. A sorting unit for passing only the normal positioned welding nuts is installed detachably adjacent to the parts discharging outlet of the vibration bowl, and thus, it becomes possible to adapt to sorting upward and downward-positioned welding nuts with various kinds of shapes and dimensions.

  • Patent number: 6879358
    Abstract: A liquid crystal light valve includes a semiconductor substrate having a region for a plurality of switching elements formed in a matrix form. A first metal layer is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate through an insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by first slits. A second metal layer is formed on the first metal layer through another insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by second slits. A third metal layer is formed on the second metal layer through still another insulating layer and divided into a plurality of parts by third slits. An opposite substrate has an opposite electrode on a surface thereof, disposed so as to be opposite to said third metal layer through an interval on the opposite electrode side. Liquid crystal fills the interval between said opposite electrode and the third metal layer.

  • Patent number: 4964719
    Abstract: Brightness of a screen is detected on the basis of a luminous flux projected from a light source to the screen. This detection signal is fed back and a set value of brightness of the screen is compared with the detection signal. The magnitude of input power to the light source is controlled so that the comparison value becomes zero.
