  • Publication number: 20230332943
    Abstract: An optical sensor device includes a plurality of light-emitting elements arranged on an arrangement surface to be apart from each other in an x direction perpendicular to a z direction that is a direction connecting an area corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting elements and an area corresponding to a light-receiving element. A light-guide lens portion includes a plurality of incident portions respectively corresponding to the plurality of light-emitting elements and respectively receiving light from the plurality of light-emitting elements. The plurality of incident portions is provided with an equalizing portion configured to equalize intensity of the light incident on the light-guide lens portion along the x direction by reducing the intensity of the light along the z direction out of the light that is emitted from the light-emitting element, while allowing an incident of part of the light emitted from the light-emitting element adjacent to the corresponding light-emitting element.

  • Publication number: 20050159688
    Abstract: This invention relates to a massager and a massing method. There has been known a conventional leg massager described in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3043777. However, there are great differences between individuals in their configurations of the legs, i.e. the above-knee and below-knee parts. Specifically, the shape of the leg portion from ankle to calf of leg differs greatly in individuals, the conventional massager has suffered a disadvantage such that it is difficult to massage the whole leg sufficiently with a single roller and the work becomes onerous where changing the roller in accordance with the shape of the leg. In the light of the foregoing disadvantages of the conventional massager, the present invention was made to provide a massager comprising stays connecting a plurality of rollers, and operating parts extending longitudinally from the stays.
