Mantaro Hironaka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10352527
    Abstract: Provided is a luminous, apparatus such as a display, having a function of preventing attraction of insects. A display apparatus 1 has a light emission surface 1 whose peripheral edge region is at least partially formed as a low-attraction region which is less capable of attracting bugs, wherein the low-attraction region is composed of an optical property gradient region whose at least one optical property gradually changes in a direction from an inward side to an outward side of the light emission surface.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2019
    Assignee: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY CORPORATION HAMAMATSU UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
    Inventors: Yoshihiro Uozu, Takahiko Hariyama, Mantaro Hironaka
  • Patent number: 10051851
    Abstract: By plates (31, 32) having different colors, an edge is formed in the vertical direction along the boundary between the plates (31, 32). Further, as materials of the plates (31, 32), a material which primarily transmits ultraviolet light having a wavelength of about 370 nm and a material which primarily transmits green light having a wavelength of about 520 nm are used. This constitution makes an attraction device (10) capable of attracting insect pests more efficiently as compared to a case where a light source such as a mercury lamp which emits a large amount of light having a wavelength of 300 to 600 nm or an LED which emits a large amount of light having a relatively short wavelength is used.
