  • Patent number: 8794771
    Abstract: A projector includes a projector main body for enlargedly projecting the optical image, an image output device for outputting the image information to the projector main body, and a connection mechanism interposing between the projector main body and the image output device, and for connecting the projector main body and the image output device to each other, wherein the projector main body and the image output device are disposed so as to be opposed to each other, the connection mechanism includes a plate-like member fixed to either one of the projector main body and the image output device, and a rotatable member fixed to the plate-like member and attached to the other of the projector main body and the image output device, and for making the plate-like member rotatable relatively to the other of the projector main body and the image output device.

  • Publication number: 20120018312
    Abstract: A semiconductor layer (12) is caused to receive electromagnetic waves (1) to emit electrons; the emitted electrons are collected and supplied to an object to be protected against corrosion; and the electrons (3) are returned from the object to be protected against corrosion (16), to which the electrons (2) are supplied, to the semiconductor layer (12) via an electrolytic layer (14), to thereby cause an electric current to flow to the object to be protected against corrosion (16) to make a potential of the object to be protected against corrosion (16) low. In a corrosion protection structure (10), an electron supplier (13) is electrically connected to a object to be protected against corrosion (16), to thereby provide corrosion protection, the electron supplier (13) being made of a semiconductor layer (12) formed on a supporting member (11) that is capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves and has electrical conductivity.
