  • Patent number: 9483968
    Abstract: A transmission-type display device which allows a user to visually recognize a display image screen as a virtual image, including a display control unit which causes a guide image for guiding the user's line of sight to be displayed on the display image screen, and a display unit which displays the guide image. The display control unit causes one of a frame-like image surrounding a vision securing area of the display image screen where the user's line of sight is guided and a ring-shaped image surrounding the vision securing area of the display image screen to be displayed as the guide image on the display image screen.

  • Patent number: 9448625
    Abstract: A head-mounted display device of a transmission type includes an operation unit, a control unit configured to transmit image data, and an image display unit configured to cause a user to visually recognize a generated image generated on the basis of the transmitted image data from the control unit. The control unit has, as an operation mode of the image display unit, a first mode for causing the user to visually recognize a plurality of selectable images in positions other than the center in an image generable region, which is a region where the image display unit can generate the generated image, and a second mode for causing, when a singularity of the selectable image is selected out of the plurality of selectable images, the user to visually recognize an associated image associated with the one selectable image as an image larger than the one selectable image in the first mode.

  • Patent number: 9440570
    Abstract: In a vehicle seat, beads are formed to a SC panel, and the beads extend along the seat front-rear direction adjacent to joint portions at seat width direction insides of the joint portions. When repeated load in the seat up-down direction is input to a seat width direction intermediate portion of the SC panel, for example, the SC panel is displaced by the input load in the seat up-down direction, and tensile load in the seat width direction acts on the beads as a result. The beads extend or contract in the seat width direction due to the tensile load. Load input to the SC panel is thereby absorbed by the extension and contraction of the beads, and load in the seat up-down direction input to the joint portions is reduced. This enables concentration of stress at the joint portions to be suppressed.

  • Patent number: 9443655
    Abstract: To increase the heat resistance of a film capacitor, a dielectric resin composition is used as a material for a dielectric resin film used in a film capacitor, the dielectric resin composition being cured by mixing and crosslinking two or more organic materials having functional groups that react with each other to provide a cured article. At least one pair highly cohesive atomic groups which has a molecular cohesive energy equal to or higher than that of a methyl group and capable of cohering with each other due to the molecular cohesive energy is linked to the organic material. The highly cohesive atomic groups form a cohesive portion serving as pseudo-crosslinking.

  • Patent number: 9416216
    Abstract: To increase the heat resistance of a film capacitor, a cured article obtained by curing a mixed solution of a polyvinyl acetal having a hydroxyl group content of 10% to 38% by weight, the number of backbone carbon atoms of the polyvinyl acetal being 100 or more, and a polyisocyanate having an isocyanate content of 1% to 50% by weight is used as a dielectric resin films material arranged between first and second counter electrodes facing each other. At least the polyvinyl acetal is subjected to high-pressure homogenization in which a shearing force is applied such that a pressure applied to the polyvinyl acetal is 50 MPa or more when the material is passed through a path having a diameter of 0.125 mm and a length of 5 mm, so that the solubility is increased to allow a curing reaction to proceed uniformly. The cured article has a glass transition temperature of 130° C. or higher and a breakdown voltage of 350 V/?m or more.
