Publication number: 20240102917Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Akihiko FUJISAWA, Kaoru ITO, Kazunori YAMAGUCHI

Publication number: 20230256453Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Applicant: HIROSHIMA METAL & MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Tetsuharu Ibaraki, Kaoru Yamaguchi, Kazuyuki Natsumeda, Daisuke Hirata, Kouji Senda

Patent number: 9554103Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: SEIKO EPSON CORPORATIONInventors: Tadashi Kinebuchi, Kaoru Yamaguchi

Patent number: 9542905Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventors: Tadashi Kinebuchi, Kaoru Yamaguchi
