  • Publication number: 20240103353
    Abstract: A stereoscopic lens apparatus includes two optical systems disposed in parallel. The two optical systems each include a front group, a reflection unit, and a rear group that are disposed in order from an object side to an image side, and an optical axis interval between the rear groups of the two optical systems is shorter than an optical axis interval between the front groups of the two optical systems due to optical path bending by the reflection unit. The rear groups of the two optical systems each include a movable unit that can be moved. The stereoscopic lens apparatus further includes a holder integrally holding the movable units of the two optical systems, and an actuator configured to drive the holder.

  • Patent number: 11892708
    Abstract: A stereoscopic optical system includes two parallel optical systems that each include, in order from an object side to an image side, a front unit having a negative refractive power, an intermediate unit having two reflective surfaces, and a rear unit. A distance between optical axes of rear units is smaller than that between optical axes of front units in the two optical systems due to bending of an optical path by the two reflective surfaces. At least one of the intermediate unit and the rear unit has a positive refractive power. The front unit includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first subunit consisting of one or more negative lenses disposed on the object side of a positive lens closest to an object in the front unit, and a second subunit having a positive power. A predetermined condition is satisfied.

    Abstract: A method for regenerating an adsorber which has a porous body and does not have an enzyme includes a dialysis step, in which the adsorber is connected to a dialysate circulation unit to cause uremic substances within a dialysate to be adsorbed onto the adsorber, and a regenerating step, in which the uremic substances which are adsorbed on the adsorber are desorbed by regenerating water that flows in a regenerating water flow unit. A dialysis system is equipped with the dialysate circulation unit, the adsorber, which is connected to the dialysate circulation unit, and the regenerating water flow unit.
