  • Publication number: 20180106894
    Abstract: A distance measuring apparatus measures a distance to a target from a plurality of directions, and includes sensors having identical two-dimensional scan type configurations that launch a laser beam and receive reflected light from the target by a multi-segment light receiving element, and a processor. The processor performs a process including specifying a receiving part of the multi-segment light receiving element of a first sensor, that receives a second laser beam launched from a second sensor in a state in which the target is non-detectable by the first sensor, adjusting a phase in a vertical scan direction of the second laser beam with respect to that of a first laser beam launched from the first sensor, until the receiving part no longer receives the second laser beam, and integrating range images from the first and second sensors after the phase is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 9813577
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a main processor, a first memory, a sub processor, and a second memory. The second memory stores a snapshot that includes an executable program obtained by loading one or more programs in the first memory. The main processor switches from a drive mode to a stop mode. The sub processor activates the main processor in response to any one of a plurality of activation factors being detected, cuts off power in response to an operation mode being switched to the stop mode, and supplies power to the main processor and the first memory before the main processor is activated. The main processor reads out a snapshot associated with an activation factor from the second memory and stores the snapshot into the first memory in response to being activated by the sub processor.
