  • OPTICAL SIGNAL EMITTING DIRECTION CONTROL APPARATUS AND OPTICAL SIGNAL EMITTING DIRECTION CONTROL METHOD
    Publication number: 20240072892
    Abstract: An optical signal emitting direction control method of a present embodiment includes arranging a transparent member to extend over an underwater space and an in-air space, causing an optical signal to enter the transparent member from the underwater space via a surface of an underwater portion of the transparent member immersed in the underwater space, and causing the optical signal entered the transparent member to be emitted into the in-air space via a surface of an in-air portion of the transparent member exposed to the in-air space.

  • Damper
    Patent number: 11460088
    Abstract: A damper includes: first and second rotating elements rotatable around a rotation center; an elastic element elastically expanding and contracting in response to relative rotation of the first and second rotating elements; and a limiter provided in the first rotating element. The limiter includes a lining plate having a first sliding surface, a first cover plate having a second sliding surface and a first abutting surface, a second cover plate having an outer edge part and an inner edge part, and a biasing member. When a difference in torque between the lining plate and the first cover plate is a predetermined value or more, the first sliding surface slides with the second sliding surface, and the second sliding surface is inclined with respect to the first abutting surface so as to face the second direction as going radially inward in a free state of the first cover plate.
