  • Patent number: 10509305
    Abstract: A light source control apparatus includes a controller, and a plurality of drivers. The controller transmits an instruction value for adjusting a light amount of at least one light emitting unit. Each of the plurality of drivers obtains the transmitted instruction value, and determines, by using a function of a driving value for driving the light emitting unit and the light amount, the function being each set for the light emitting unit, the driving value of the light emitting unit each on the basis of the instruction value.

  • Patent number: 10025278
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an input unit, an output unit, a change amount determination unit, and an instruction unit. The input unit is configured to input a measured temperature that is a measured value of a temperature of a measurement point. The output unit is configured to output a manipulated variable to a temperature control mechanism configured to control the temperature of the measurement point to be a set temperature, the manipulated variable being used for controlling the set temperature. The change amount determination unit is configured to determine an amount of temporal change of the input measured temperature. The instruction unit is configured to instruct the output unit to output a unit manipulated variable with a predetermined manipulated variable as a unit, based on a determination by the change amount determination unit.

  • Patent number: 7616545
    Abstract: In a recording medium, the physical characteristic information of the recording medium, and more specifically, the configuration (shape and size) and the moment of inertia of the disc, is recorded. This enables a recording apparatus or a reading apparatus to easily and correctly determine the physical characteristics of the disc, and thus to perform suitable settings for the recording or reading operation.
