  • Publication number: 20190099933
    Abstract: In injection-molding a conductive material, prolongation of an injection molding cycle and occurrence of defective appearance of a molded article are reduced, and the molded article is given uniform conductivity. An injection molding apparatus has a heating injection means which heats a conductive material to a temperature that allows the conductive material to melt and flow, and which injects the conductive material to a mold. The mold has a plurality of conductive portions at least at a portion of a surface defining a cavity, the conductive portions being insulated from each other. A predetermined voltage is applied to the conductive portions. A static mixer is provided in an area including a tip portion of the heating injection means and a flow path of the conductive material.

  • Patent number: 9066018
    Abstract: Disclosed is a technique for providing an image display device enabling a user to understand the entire correspondence relationship between a three-dimensional photographed image and a two-dimensional map image. According to the technique, when a photographed image and a map image in the imaging position are separately displayed on the screen of an image display unit 33, a map drawing unit 24 reads the position information (x, y) of the camera and the azimuth angle ? of the camera, reads a view angle ? of the camera, and reads map data around the imaging range of the camera using the position information (x, y) of the camera to process and draw the map image so that the view angle ? and the azimuth angle ? match the view angle ? and the azimuth angle ? of the photographed image taken by the camera.

  • Patent number: 8194004
    Abstract: A plasma display driving method capable of displaying a vigorous image having enhanced maximum luminance and contrast. For this purpose, one field is divided into a plurality of sub-fields each including a sustain period. In the sustain period, the number of sustain pulses obtained by multiplying a proportionality factor by a brightness weight set for each of the sub-fields are applied to display electrode pairs to generate sustaining discharge in discharge cells having generated addressing discharge therein. Thus, the total number of the sustain pulses in one field period can be changed. When a predetermined image meeting predetermined conditions is displayed, the total number of the sustain pulses in one field period is made larger than those in the case where the other normal images are displayed.
