  • Patent number: 7014349
    Abstract: The light emitted from a spot light source (45) is emitted at a linearly extending region by a wedge-like light conductor (47) and deflected by a prism sheet (50). This light is emitted in a direction perpendicular to a light incident surface (44a) of the light conductor plate (44) and has a directivity narrow in a widthwise direction of the light conductor plate (44). The light conductor plate (44) is formed, at its bottom surface, with a multiplicity of diffusion patterns (46) in a rectangular triangular form. The light reflected upon the diffusion pattern (46) is emitted perpendicularly to a light emitting surface (44b) of the light conductor plate (44). At this time, part of the light incident on the diffusion pattern (46) transmits through the diffusion pattern (46) whereby the directivity of emission light is narrowed in a lengthwise direction of the light conductor plate.

  • Patent number: 7016622
    Abstract: A heating apparatus includes first and second coil members, a heat roller and an input control mechanism. The first and second coil members respectively are part of first and second excitation circuits. The heat roller generates an eddy current inside by a magnetic field generated by the first and second coil members. The input control mechanism drives the first and second excitation circuits. The input control mechanism starts driving only the first excitation circuit from a state where operations of the first and second excitation circuits are stopped. When the temperature detection mechanism detects a predetermined temperature, the input control mechanism stops supplying power to the first excitation circuit and supplies power only to the second excitation circuit, and the heat roller initiates rotating.
