  • Publication number: 20240102917
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a detection device includes: photodiodes that are provided on a substrate; light-emitting elements that are arranged so as to face the photodiodes; and a light-transmitting placement substrate that is disposed between the photodiodes and the light-emitting elements and on which target objects are to be placed. The photodiodes, the placement substrate, and the light-emitting elements are arranged in the order as listed, in a direction orthogonal to the substrate. A light-emitting element of the light-emitting elements corresponding to the photodiode to be detected is controlled to be lit, and another light-emitting element of the light-emitting elements corresponding to the photodiode not to be detected is controlled to be unlit. The photodiodes to be detected output sensor values based on light from the lit-up light-emitting elements. The light-emitting elements adjacent to the lit-up light-emitting elements at least in row and column directions are controlled to be unlit.

  • Publication number: 20230256453
    Abstract: Problems occur in a bead mill due to wear on a sealing member of a sealing device disposed on a contact portion between a rotating portion and slurry, and due to the adhesion of deposits on the sealing device. A bead mill device that stirs a mixture of slurry and beads in a vertical cylindrical container includes a slurry storage vessel disposed above the cylindrical container, and a slurry flow passage through which the slurry flows from the slurry storage vessel into the cylindrical container. A component that causes the slurry in the slurry flow passage to flow downward is disposed on a rotary shaft. Further, a component for suppressing the flow of the slurry is disposed in the slurry storage vessel. This structure obviates the need to dispose a mechanical sealing device on the rotary shaft.

  • Patent number: 9841178
    Abstract: A projector includes a power receiving terminal, a light source that emits light based on electric power supplied to the power receiving terminal, a light diffuser that adjusts the degree of diffusion of the light from the light source, a specifying section that alternately specifies one of illumination projection and image projection every time electric power supply to the power receiving terminal is started, and a light diffusion controller that controls the light diffuser so that when the specifying section specifies the illumination projection, the light diffuser diffuses the light from the light source, whereas when the specifying section specifies the image projection, the light diffuser transmits the light without substantially diffusing the light.

  • Patent number: 9554103
    Abstract: A projector can be easily attached by mounting a connecting unit to a socket for illumination in an ordinary home. Since the projector includes a communication unit configured to receive an electronic mail, the projector updates an image signal and adjusts a diffusion degree of modulated light by a light-diffusion adjusting unit on the basis of contents of the mail received by the communication unit. Therefore, when a user desires to inform family members who will return home that the user suddenly has to go out, if the user transmits in advance, to the projector, a mail including a message for a family member who returns home, the family member who returns home turns on an illumination switch at the entrance, whereby the projector can start up, perform an illuminating function, and clearly project and display the message.

  • Patent number: 9542905
    Abstract: A display device that can be used with another display device, includes: a display unit; a command receiving unit which receives a control command or ID information from an external remote controller; and a command processing unit. The display unit displays the display device's own ID in response to reception of the control command by the command receiving unit. If the command receiving unit receives the ID information indicating the display device's own ID after the display unit starts displaying the display device's own ID, the command processing unit performs processing corresponding to the control command.
