Patent number: 8890992Abstract: A mobile electronic device 10 includes a projector 34, a camera 36, and a processing unit 22. The projector 34 projects an image, and the camera 36 captures the image projected by the projector 34. Based on first image information for causing the projector 34 to project a predetermined image and second image information obtained by capturing the image projected by the projector 34 based on the first image information by the camera 36, the processing unit 22 determines whether the projector 34 projects the predetermined image. When determining that the projector 34 fails to project the predetermined image, the processing unit 22 suppresses output of the projector 34 for projecting the image.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Masashi Osaka, Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura

Patent number: 8833948Abstract: It is a task to provide a mobile electronic device with high operability and high safety. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a detector that detects a specific change in an irradiation area of light irradiated from the image projector or in a predetermined area including the irradiation area, and a control unit that controls the operation of the image projector. The task is solved in such a manner that when the detector detects the specific change, the control unit causes the image projector to stop emission of light therefrom, or to reduce an amount of light emitted therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Masashi Osaka, Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura, Seiji Horii, Jouji Yoshikawa, Tomoko Asano, Hiroki Itou, Youji Yamada

Patent number: 8696142Abstract: It is an object to provide a mobile electronic device with high operability and high safety. The mobile electronic device includes an image projector that projects an image, a control unit that controls the operation of the image projector, a cabinet that holds the image projector and the control unit, and an acceleration sensor that detects an acceleration acting on the cabinet. The object is achieved in such a manner that when an acceleration of a given value or more is detected by the acceleration sensor, the control unit stops emission of light from the image projector or reduces an amount of light emitted from the image projector.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2010Date of Patent: April 15, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Masashi Osaka, Yasuhiro Ueno, Yasushi Kitamura, Seiji Horii, Jouji Yoshikawa, Tomoko Asano, Hiroki Itou

Patent number: 8178365Abstract: A semiconductor wafer having IGBT elements and transistors formed on a surface thereof is prepared. Electron beams are emitted all over the surface of the semiconductor wafer. Recombination centers are formed in the IGBT elements and the transistors. ON voltages of the transistors are measured by a measurement device, and lifetimes defined in the IGBT elements and the transistors are recovered by a prescribed annealing treatment. When the lifetimes are recovered, a control device controls an annealing treatment amount in the annealing treatment based on the measured ON voltages of the transistors such that ON voltages of the IGBT elements are each equal to a desired ON voltage. Variations in the ON voltages of a plurality of IGBT elements obtained from the semiconductor wafer are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Atsushi Narazaki, Yukio Matsushita, Masashi Osaka, Shunsuke Sakamoto
