  • Patent number: 12148331
    Abstract: A content generation method generates image content to be projected at a projection position in a real space by a projector. In a first acquisition process, space information regarding a virtual space corresponding to the real space is acquired. In a second acquisition process, display position information regarding a display position corresponding to the projection position in the virtual space is acquired. In a third acquisition process, reference position information regarding a reference position in the virtual space is acquired. In a generation process, an image including an object viewed from the reference position when the object is displayed at the display position in the virtual space is generated as the image content, based on the space information, the reference position information, and the display position information.

  • Publication number: 20240363571
    Abstract: A lead-free solder ball is provided which suppresses interfacial peeling in a bonding interface of a solder ball, fusion defects which develop between the solder ball and solder paste, and which can be used both with Ni electrodes plated with Au or the like and Cu electrodes having a water-soluble preflux applied atop Cu. The lead-free solder ball for electrodes of BGAs or CSPs consists of 1.6-2.9 mass % of Ag, 0.7-0.8 mass % of Cu, 0.05-0.08 mass % of Ni, at least one of Fe and Co in a total amount of 0.003-0.1 mass %, and a remainder of Sn.

  • Patent number: 9109655
    Abstract: Provided are elements arranged along a ring of a drive power transfer belt wound on pulleys of a belt-drive continuously variable transmission. Each element has a recess at one side of the element and a projection projecting from the other side to fit into the recess of the adjacent element. The projection has a first engagement portion provided at its base side such that a predetermined engagement gap is created on the radially outer side when the projection fits in the recess of the adjacent element, and a second engagement portion provided at the tip side of the projection and decreasing in diameter toward the tip of the projection from the first engagement portion. The gradient with which the diameter of the second engagement portion decreases is larger than the gradient with which the diameter of the first engagement portion decreases toward the tip of the projection.

  • Patent number: 7690489
    Abstract: A clutch for effectively prevents a clutch outer from tilting at the time when torque is varied. The clutch includes damper springs for transmitting, to a clutch outer, torque inputted to a driven gear, and a thrust washer for regulating positional change of a position of the clutch outer with respect to the driven gear in a direction of the shaft axis. The thrust washer is disposed between the driven gear and the clutch outer in an axial direction. The thrust washer is disposed only outward of the damper springs in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 5610952
    Abstract: A synchronization signal generation device includes a circuit that enables a phase difference between a synchronization signal and an input signal with intermittent edges to be arbitrarily and continuously varied. The synchronization signal generating device is of the second order phase locked loop and has a phase detector with the following elements: a circuit for generating pulses with widths corresponding to the phase difference between the input signal and the synchronization signal only upon occurrence of an edge of the input signal; a circuit for generating pulses with a constant width only upon occurrence of an edge of the input signal or the synchronization signal; a variation circuits which varies one or both of the amplitudes of the aforesaid pulses; and a combining circuit which adds or subtracts the pulses from the variation circuits to derive a phase comparison signal.
