Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a method for driving a transparent display device. The method includes extracting a corneal reflection image, generating a flat target image, generating a background image, and displaying the background image on a transparent display panel. The corneal reflection image includes a target image formed by projecting, on a cornea of a user, a display area of the transparent display panel divided into the display area which displays a display image and transmits light reflected from a background and a non-display area adjacent to the display area. The flat target image is generated by correcting the target image distorted by a curved shape of the cornea. The background image is formed by removing the display image from the flat target image.

Abstract: Provided is a chain tensioner that can always provide a suitable reaction force and damping force to various tension fluctuations of the chain, has a simple structure, is easy to produce, and also enables a reduction in the production cost. The chain tensioner 100 has a plunger 120 inserted in a plunger bore 111, and biasing means 140 for biasing the plunger in a protruding direction of the plunger. A plurality of biasing means 140 are accommodated so as to freely expand and contract inside a high pressure chamber 101 and arranged in series along the protruding direction of the plunger 120, with a separator plate 130 interposed therebetween. The separator plate 130 has one or more oil passages that adjust oil flow.

Abstract: A silent chain includes guide plates each of which has a cut-away portion on its inner side and a cut-away portion on its outer side for allowing elastic deformation of the guide plate in the longitudinal direction of the chain so that bowing of the connecting pins of the chain is reduced, and galling of the connecting pins and unbalance of the loads on the link plates of the chain are suppressed. The deepest parts of the respective cut-away portions are longitudinally offset from each other so that longitudinal elastic deformation can occur without impairing the tensile strength of the guide plate.

Abstract: There is provided a chain comprising guide link rows and non-guide link rows disposed alternately along the length of the chain with each plate of each row overlapping each plate of each of two adjacent rows. For each guide link row, a pair of pins is provided for connecting the guide link rows and non-guide link rows in articulating relationship. The first connecting pin extends into a first hole of each of the guide plates of its guide link row and into and through the second hole of each link plate of an adjacent non-guide link row. The second connecting pin extends into a second hole of each of the guide plates extends into and through a first hole of each link plate of an adjacent non-guide link row. The connecting pins fit tightly into each first hole into which it extends and fits loosely in each second hole into which it extends.

Abstract: In a silent chain transmission, the distance between the centers of front and rear pin holes of each of the inner link plates of the chain is smaller than the length of the smallest chord obtained by dividing, by the number of sprocket teeth, the circumference of a circle having a radius extending from the center of the sprocket to the center of a pin hole of a link plate of the chain when the last-mentioned link plate is fully engaged with the sprocket.

Abstract: In a chain transmission using a hybrid chain having inner and outer links with bushings, or with bushings and rollers, the rollers mesh with a central sprocket, and the link plates have teeth that function as a silent chain, meshing with side sprockets fixed to the central sprocket. The teeth of the link plates of the inner links have a shape different from that of the teeth of the link plates of the outer links. The outer flanks of the teeth can all have the same shape, and the shape difference can be in the shapes of the inner flanks.
