  • Patent number: 11977219
    Abstract: An optical correction is predictively performed based on a result of AI learning previously performed by use of learning data including measurement data. The optical compensation system is provided with wavefront correction optics, a sensor and a controller. The wavefront correction optics corrects a wavefront of light that passes through a given optical path. The sensor obtains environmental information in the optical path. The controller calculates, based on the environmental information, a predicted wavefront disturbance of the light that has passed through the optical path and controls the wavefront correction optics so as to cancel the predicted wavefront disturbance.

  • Patent number: 6107698
    Abstract: When the power key on the remote controller 12 is pressed, the electromagnetic wave is sent from the remote controller 12 to the main unit 100 of the electric device and the switch circuit 23 or 43 as the first switching means is turned on. Upon turning on of the first switching means by the power key operation, the power starts to be supplied from the second power supply 22 or 41 serving as the stand-by power supply circuit to the load circuit required for stand-by operation such as the microcomputer 24 and the light receiver 10. After that, corresponding to the first infrared signal sent from the remote controller 12, the relay 3 as the second switching means is turned on so that the commercial AC power source 1 is supplied to the main power supply circuit 2 in the main unit 100 of the electric device and the load circuit for the ordinary operation in the main unit 100 (main circuit of the device) start operation.

  • Patent number: 6038141
    Abstract: A current resonance power supply circuit resonates the primary winding L61 of the switching transformer 64 and the current resonance capacitor C2I by turning on and off the switching elements 61 and 62 and obtains high frequency output from the secondary winding L62 of the switching transformer 64 according to such resonance. With a capacitor whose capacity increases as the operation frequency of the switching elements 61 and 62 decreases used as the capacitor C2I above, the out-of-resonance phenomenon hardly occurs upon a sharp drop of the AC power voltage or a quick increase of the load.

  • Patent number: 6002454
    Abstract: After analog-to-digital conversion, a luminance signal 103 and a chrominance signal 109 are stored in a line memory circuit 128. Such stored signals are read out of said line memory circuit, using a read clock 124 obtained by parabolically modulating a read frequency with both the horizontal period and the vertical period. The read-out digital signal is again converted into an analog luminance signal 132 and analog color difference signals 135, 136 by digital-to-analog conversion. By this procedure, inner pincushion distortion or inner barrel distortion is corrected. Since such distortion is corrected by modulating an image signal itself by digital processing, no circuit drift due to the conventional analog correction occurs and no analog circuit design such as troublesome setting of parts constants is required.

  • Patent number: 5936680
    Abstract: A pump-up circuit includes a first capacitor C1 connected to the power supply Vcc via a first change-over switch SW1 to the reference potential point or a second capacitor C2. The second capacitor C2 is charged by the voltage control circuit 45 under the control of the pump-up voltage control signal so that the capacitors C1 and C2 are charged respectively during the scanning period. Upon input of a NTSC signal, the change-over switch SW1 is connected to the reference potential point and the charging voltage of the first capacitor C1 is used as the pump-up voltage. Upon input of a signal having a short vertical flyback period such as the signal from personal computers, the total of the charging voltages at the first and second capacitors C1 and C2 is used as the pump-up voltage.

  • Patent number: 5596249
    Abstract: A horizontal output circuit having a east and west pincushion distortion correcting function modulating the amplitude of a horizontal deflecting current to be parabolic in a vertical period by using a pulse width variable pulse signal. A voltage produced in a capacitor C1 provided between a series circuit of a horizontal deflecting coil Dy and S correcting capacitor Cs connected in parallel to a horizontal output transistor Q3 and a reference potential point GND is modulated by using a pulse signal from a pulse width modulating IC 10. The modulated voltage is fed to a smooth circuit including a coil L2 and capacitor C2 provided in parallel with the capacitor C1. A negative power source is obtained by this smooth circuit from which power is fed to a power source terminal 13 of the pulse width modulating IC 10.
