Patent number: 7042608Abstract: In a scanning optical system, a partial light blocking member having an annular light blocking part (for blocking off part of the incident laser beam entering the annular area around the central axis of the laser beam) is placed on an optical path between the laser light source and the polygon mirror. The scanning optical system including such a partial light blocking member is installed in a printer. By the effect of the partial light blocking member, the intensity of side lobes (several rings of light accompanying the main beam) is prevented from exceeding a threshold value even when optical surfaces of an imaging optical system of the scanning optical system have certain microscopic undulations, by which black stripes occurring in halftone printing can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: PENTAX CorporationInventors: Shuichi Takeuchi, Daisuke Koreeda

Patent number: 6980344Abstract: A scanning optical system includes a deflector that deflects a light beam toward an object surface such that the light beam is scanned over the object surface in a main scanning direction. A mirror system reflects back the light beam so that the light beam travels toward the object surface after being deflected twice by the deflector. The mirror system reflects back the light beam such that a projection of the light beam on an auxiliary scanning section, which is a plane perpendicular to the main scanning direction, is incident on the reflection surface for a first time at an incident angle different from an incident angle at which the projection of the light beam is incident on the reflection surface for a second time. A blocking member is provided to prevent the unwanted light flux from striking the object surface while allowing the light beam scanning the object surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: PENTAX CorporationInventor: Shuichi Takeuchi

Patent number: 6963067Abstract: The invention provides a sample observation method capable of understanding the three-dimensional shape of a sample in a wider range. The observation method of the invention calculates heights (height differences) in the whole domain of an image, from plural sheets of images of different field-of-view angles, being in focus over the whole image, attained by means of the focal depth expanding function to thereby create a map (Z map) of the height information by each pixel, and displays a three-dimensional image as a bird's-eye view. The method also displays to superpose a Z map attained from image signals reflecting the surface structure on a Z map attained from image signals reflecting the composition information with different colors, which makes it possible to clearly understand the spatial distribution of a substance of unique composition inside the sample.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2004Date of Patent: November 8, 2005Assignees: Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation, Hitachi Science Systems, Inc.Inventors: Shuichi Takeuchi, Mine Nakagawa, Mitsugu Sato, Atsushi Takane, Kazutaka Nimura

Patent number: 6911006Abstract: A pain inferring device for designing a shape giving a subject as little pain as possible when the subject touches the shape. The pain inferring device includes an input unit, an output unit, a main control unit, a learning storage unit, and a neural network. The neural network learns the relationship between the input value of shape data and the output value of the data on the degree of pain when a subject touches a shape. By the learning, an input/output function (namely, the coefficient of coupling of neurons in layers) representing the relationship between the input and output values is defined and stored in the learning storage unit. When the shape data is inputted through the input unit, the neural network infers the degree of pain by using the function stored in the learning storage unit.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2001Date of Patent: June 28, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Tokai Rika Denki SeisakushoInventors: Takashi Suzuki, Shuichi Takeuchi, Masato Nishikawa, Takashi Shinzato, Masahiko Miyata
