  • Publication number: 20120246899
    Abstract: A profile measuring apparatus includes: an irradiating unit which is configured to irradiate the measuring object with light from the light source to form a spotted pattern; a scanner which is configured to relatively scan the surface of the measuring object with the spotted pattern; a light receiver which includes a plurality of light-receiving pixels aligned to detect an image of the spotted pattern generated by the light irradiating the measuring object from a different direction different from an irradiation direction of the light irradiating the measuring object; a changing unit which is configured to change positions, at which signals utilized to detect a position of the image of the spotted pattern are obtained, according to the irradiation direction of the light; and a controller which is configured to calculate positional information of the measuring object based on the signals from the light-receiving pixels.

  • Patent number: 7496332
    Abstract: A diplexer contains a common terminal connected to an antenna, a first input/output terminal for inputting/outputting signals of a plurality of high frequency bands higher than a predetermined frequency, and a second input/output terminal for inputting/outputting signals of low frequency bands lower than the predetermined frequency. Between the common terminal and the first input/output terminal, a high pass filter and low trap circuits for attenuating the low frequency bands respectively are interposed in series, and, between the common terminal and the second input/output terminal, a low pass filter and high trap circuits for attenuating the high frequency bands respectively are interposed in series.

  • Patent number: 7432486
    Abstract: A microscope digital image acquiring system 1 includes a microscope 2 composed of a microscope unit 10 forming an enlarged image of an object O and a microscope controller 20 controlling movement of the microscope unit 10, an imaging instrument 3 composed of a camera head unit 30 that is attached to the microscope 2 and has an imaging device detecting the enlarged image of the object O and a camera controller 40 that receives a detected signal output from the imaging device and outputs image information of the object O. The microscope controller 20 and the camera controller 40 operate cooperatively in response to control commands sent externally. The system 1 has a connecting cable 52 connecting with both instruments 20 and 40 to carry out communication with each other. Both instruments 20 and 40 operate cooperatively by communicating control commands with each other through the connecting cable 52.

  • Publication number: 20020024638
    Abstract: An image input/output apparatus includes an image-capturing device that captures an image of a subject placed on a stage and a projection-type display device that generates an image based upon an input image signal and projects the image onto a screen. If the image-capturing device is detected to be in the operating state, an illuminating lamp and a projection lamp are turned on and one of the input terminals is selected at a selection means switch. Thus, the image signal from the image-capturing device is selected and an image based upon the image signal is projected from the projection-type display device.
