  • Patent number: 11953317
    Abstract: A reference core position calculation device 100 that calculates a reference core position of an elevator shaft in which an elevator is to be installed includes a measurement unit 101 and a calculation unit 112. The measurement unit 101 measures a dimension of each portion of the elevator shaft. The calculation unit 112 calculates portion dimension values of the elevator shaft based on the reference core position and the dimension of each portion measured by the measurement unit 101. When the reference core position is a first reference core position, the calculation unit 112 determines whether portion dimension values of the elevator shaft calculated based on the first reference core position satisfy a predetermined specification.

  • Patent number: 11919442
    Abstract: A vehicle interior lighting device includes a light source which is installed at an end of an instrument panel of a vehicle. Light emitted from the light source propagates from the instrument panel toward a door panel, and is projected on a surface of a door trim of the door panel. A decorative pattern element is installed on a light emitting side of the light source. As light from the light source passes through the decorative pattern element, the light can create a pattern on a surface of the door trim. Because the light source is installed on the instrument panel spaced from the door trim rather than on the door trim itself, light can be projected on a large area of the door trim. Furthermore, an impressive feature of a decorative pattern which changes in accordance with a door opening angle can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 11846876
    Abstract: There is provided a projection system that includes a light source, a display panel, a projection optical system, and a controller. The light source outputs light of a plurality of colors. The display panel includes a light modulation element provided for each pixel, and modulates the light outputted from the light source. The projection optical system projects light having passed through the display panel, and the controller controls light output of each color of the light source in a time-axis direction. This configuration is adopted to achieve an improvement in brightness of a projected image/a screen and prevention of color mixing in field sequential driving.
