  • Patent number: 11552441
    Abstract: A display device includes a laser irradiation device and a control device. The laser irradiation device is configured to irradiate an irradiation point located at a display position in air, with a laser beam having a wavelength equal to or larger than 380 nm and equal to or smaller than 780 nm and produce plasma at the display position. The control device is configured to control intensity of the laser beam emitted from the at least one laser irradiation device so that a relationship between intensity of plasma light emitted from the plasma at the display position and intensity of scattered light produced from the laser beam and scattered by the plasma becomes a predetermined relationship to display a color pixel.

  • Patent number: 8611179
    Abstract: When correcting the acoustic wave refraction occurring on the interface between mediums having different sound speeds by Snell's law, an applicable back-projection method is limited to a time domain method. An image data generating method performed to receive and convert an acoustic wave generated by irradiating a subject with light into a first electrical signal with an acoustic wave receiver via a medium having a sound speed different from that of the subject, and to generate image data based on the first electrical signal is provided, wherein a second electrical signal obtained when the acoustic wave is received at each virtual reception point is generated based on the first electrical signal through an integral calculation performed by using an advanced Green's function, and image data is generated based on the second electrical signal.

  • Patent number: 7864908
    Abstract: A recovered clock signal is simulated from an acquired external clock signal by use of an uncomplicated algorithm requiring few calculations. The recovered clock is usually used in an apparatus that receives external clock and external data signals and recovers the recovered clock signal from the external clock signal by use of a phase lock loop to process the external data according to the recovered clock. Apparatus according to the invention digitizes the external clock signal and stores resulting the time domain data in memories (step 48). It detects time domain data of edges of the stored external clock (step 50), and the detected time domain data of the edges are converted into frequency domain data (step 52). The frequency domain data are multiplied by the respective predetermined coefficients in different frequency domains (step 54). The resultant frequency domain data are restored to the time domain data (step 56) to obtain time domain data of the edges of the recovered clock signal.

  • Patent number: 7718817
    Abstract: A safe additive that increases the feeling effects from a hair cosmetic is provided at low costs. The additive that increases the feeling effects has less stickiness, can be easily and uniformly mixed with hair cosmetics, and can provide feelings, effects and advantages that are similar to those of sterol wax and lanolins including lanolin itself, liquid lanolin, and hard lanolin. The additive that increases the feeling effects contains a composition (I) prepared by distillation, fatty acid esterification, decoloring, and deodorization of a by-product obtained when tocopherol is extracted, separated and purified from a vegetable oil deodorized distillate.

  • Patent number: 7452022
    Abstract: A bent front wall 2a of a roof panel 2 is not bent at least inwardly of a press-worked direction of the roof panel 2, so that a front end of the roof panel 2 is free from undercut formation. This eliminates the necessity to further machine the front wall 2a of the press-worked roof panel 2, using for example a cam. Thus, manufacturing cost may be reduced without increasing man-hour.
