  • Patent number: 11405600
    Abstract: A first mirror has a first reflecting surface convexed in a first direction, a first apex, and a first fan shape. A second mirror has a second reflecting surface convexed in a second direction, a second apex, and a second fan shape. An imaging optical system forms images from a first light emitted from an object, reflected by the first reflecting surface, and subsequently further reflected by the second reflecting surface, and a second light emitted from the object and reflected by the second reflecting surface. The first and second fan shapes have interior angles of 180° or more. A center position of the image sensor is displaced with respect to an optical axis of the imaging optical system. A short side of a photo-receiving surface of the image sensor and a center line of the image of the first or second fan shape are approximately parallel.

  • Patent number: 9530597
    Abstract: A relay switch has a coil such that a predetermined voltage is imposed on one end thereof and the other end is grounded with a resistor therebetween, and when the voltage of the coil is at least a predetermined value, the relay switch is turned on and a power source is supplied to an electronic apparatus. A transistor causes the voltage of the coil to be at least the predetermined value by means of drawing in the current flowing through the coil and causing the current to flow to the ground without passing through the resistor when starting the supply of the power source, and after the start of supply of the power source, gradually decreases the amount drawn in of the current flowing through the coil, causing a decrease in a manner so that the voltage of the coil does not fall below the predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 9330704
    Abstract: The optical information recording and reproducing method realizes an increased number of multiplexing in recording and favorably stabilized signal recording in a manner of uniforming media consumption in angle-multiplexed recording by changing a phase of signal light on a pixel basis in a manner in which the speed of a phase change on a pixel basis is constant or is greater than or equal to a certain speed in a page and between pages when the driving speed of a phase mask changes at the time of recording. The optical information recording and reproducing method, while moving an optical element that adds phase information to a light flux which includes two-dimensional page data information in a direction that is perpendicular to an optical axis of the light flux, records the page data on the recording medium by adding the phase information to the light flux.
