  • Publication number: 20230110462
    Abstract: A phosphor wheel unit includes a phosphor wheel that converts incident light into fluorescent light and emits the fluorescent light, a first heat exchanger having a plurality of fin members that is arranged and an airflow inlet surface through which an airflow generated by rotation of the phosphor wheel partially or entirely flows in, and a regulating member that regulates a direction of the airflow. The direction of the airflow regulated by the regulating member and a direction perpendicular to a rotation shaft of the phosphor wheel form an angle of between 0 degrees and 45 degrees on a surface perpendicular to an extending direction of a base material of the phosphor wheel. The airflow inlet surface is disposed intercepting the direction of the airflow regulated by the regulating member. The first heat exchanger cools a gas forming the airflow and the cooled gas returns to the phosphor wheel.

  • Publication number: 20120077172
    Abstract: A digital camera (1) performs shooting such that each student within a classroom is included in a subject, uses an optical flow to detect the action of standing up from a chair or the action of moving a mouth by a student who needs to be a speaker, thus specifies the position of the speaker (any of the students) on a shooting image and extracts image data on the face portion of the speaker. A PC (2) uses a projector (3) to display a material on a screen (4), and superimposes and displays, when the extracted image data is transferred from the digital camera (1), a picture of the face of the speaker on the screen (4) based on the extracted image data.

  • Publication number: 20100182573
    Abstract: An illuminating device includes a plurality of light source portions having a light source and condenser optics for condensing light from the light source, a plurality of optical fibers each connected to a corresponding one of the light source portions and into which the light from the corresponding condenser optics is incident, and a bundling portion for bundling the plurality of optical fibers. The plurality of light source portions are arranged on a plane approximately parallel to a bundling-central axis of the bundling portion, and the farther the light source portion is arranged from the bundling portion, the more the optical axis of the condenser optics is tilted toward the bundling portion from a direction vertical to the plane.

  • Publication number: 20100073637
    Abstract: An illuminating device includes a plurality of light source portions for emitting light, a plurality of optical fibers for allowing incidence of the light emitted from the respective light source portions, and a bundling portion for bundling exit ends of the optical fibers. The light source portions or the optical fibers are constructed in such a manner that a flexure of each of the optical fibers is suppressed to mount the each optical fiber in a state close to a straight state. For instance, the light source portions are arranged in an arc shape, with a distance of each of the light source portions with respect to the bundling portion being set as the radius of the arc shape. In this arrangement the respective optical fibers are set to have lengths substantially equal to each other.
