Patent number: 7907494Abstract: To provide a hologram information recording medium and a hologram information recording/reproducing device capable of accurately reproducing data multiplexed on the recording medium irrespective of the influence of the external environment and so forth. In one recording area 31 of a recording medium 3, a plurality of the same information groups are recorded in substantially the same area with varied multi-parameters, in consideration of the expansion and the contraction of the recording medium 3. That is, a plurality of data groups A to D are recorded in the one recording area 31 of the recording medium 3, with a laser wavelength ? varied. Specifically, the data groups A to D are recorded in one recording area as three groups: a data group G1 including data A1, data B1, data C1, and data D1; a data group G2 including data A2, data B2, data C2, and data D2; and a data group G3 including data A3, data B3, data C3, and data D3.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoyuki Tokuchi, Yoshihiro Someno

Patent number: 7868490Abstract: When currents are applied to driving coils, electromagnetic forces are generated between the currents and magnetic fluxes passing through gaps, a shaft member is swung in one direction, and a tilt angle of a mirror (controlled object) changes relative to a support center point. Electromotive forces generated in detection coils when the magnetic fluxes pass through the detection coils are given as feedback signals to a control unit. The control unit generates currents on the basis of the feedback signals, and applies the currents to the driving coils. By detecting the velocity of the mirror during swinging with the detection coils, the structure of the actuator can be simplified. Further, the responsivity can be increased, and the tilt angle of the mirror can be detected with high accuracy.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takuya Nagai, Yoshihiro Someno, Naoyuki Tokuchi

Patent number: 7583424Abstract: A hologram information reproducing device is described which can reproduce information from a recording medium on which hologram information is recorded, and which can be downsized. In one aspect, when light from a light source is emitted, the light is converted into parallel reference light, by a lens of an optical system. A mirror changes the orientation of the reference light so that it is oriented obliquely downward towards a recording medium. More specifically, as viewed from the top, the mirror changes a path of the light from the light source unit by approximately 90 degrees. In addition, as viewed from the side, the mirror changes the path of the light from the light source unit downward by approximately 45 degrees. Since an interference pattern recorded on the recording medium is a Bragg grating, when the reference light illuminates a recording area of the recording medium, a reproduction light is obtained by Bragg diffraction.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2007Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Mitsuya, Naoyuki Tokuchi, Yoshihiro Someno, Yuichi Umeda

Publication number: 20090120218Abstract: A first wiring member and a second wiring member are formed of flexible wiring boards. The wiring member has a securing portion, an X extending portion, a first loop, and an X reverse portion; and the wiring member has a securing portion, an X extending portion, a first loop, and an X reverse portion. An intermediate securing portion, which is a boundary portion of the X reverse portion and a Y extending portion, and an intermediate securing portion, which is a boundary portion of the X reverse portion and a Y extending portion, are secured to an intermediate moving unit. The Y extending portions are bent at respective second loops, and head securing portions are secured to the head. When the head moves in an X direction, if the first loops move in a Y direction, the second loops move.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2009Publication date: May 14, 2009Inventors: Naoyuki Tokuchi, Seigo Yamazaki
