  • Publication number: 20200344452
    Abstract: A remote controller respectively transmits an infrared operation signal to a projector, a Bluetooth operation signal to an image supply apparatus, and both the operation signals when respective operation keys of first, second, and third key groups are operated. When a menu key is operated, the projector performs control for displaying a menu image and output of an operation restricting command to the image supply apparatus, and, when a predetermined condition is satisfied after the output of the operation restricting command, performs control for ending the display of the menu image and output of a restriction releasing command to the image supply apparatus. The image supply apparatus stops control corresponding to an operation signal corresponding to the third key group from when the operation restricting command is input until when the restriction releasing command is input.

  • Patent number: 9957170
    Abstract: A water treatment device generates a bubble in water to be treated inside a treatment tank, and treats the water to be treated through use of radicals that are generated by bubble electric discharge caused via the bubble. The water treatment device includes main electrodes for forming a main discharge area between a first main electrode and a second main electrode, auxiliary electrodes for forming a preliminary discharge area between a first auxiliary electrode and a second auxiliary electrode, and a bubble generator generating a bubble in water to be treated through use of an externally supplied gas. When a bubble generated by the bubble generator passes through the preliminary discharge area, discharge is caused via the bubble, and, when the bubble in an excited state subsequently passes through the main discharge area, the bubble causes discharge again to generate radicals.
