Publication number: 20200191922Abstract: A measurement device 100 is provided with a MEMS mirror 4 which radiates projection light L1 while changing the radiating direction of the projection light L1, a convex mirror 6A which reflects the projection light L1 radiated during a first time period in a cycle, and a concave mirror 6B which reflects the projection light L1 radiated during a second time period in the cycle. At this time, the projection light L1 reflected by the convex mirror 6A and the return light L2 reflected by the concave mirror 6B are radiated towards different heights that are different in a predetermined direction (Z axis direction).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2018Publication date: June 18, 2020Inventor: Yasuo TANAHASHI

Patent number: 9810908Abstract: A virtual image display device includes: an image forming element which forms an image to be displayed; and an optical element which reflects a light emitted from the image forming element to display a virtual image. The optical element has a concave shape opposite to a traveling direction of the light emitted from the image forming element. The light emitted from the image forming element enters the optical element without being reflected by other optical element. The image forming element is arranged in a direction substantially orthogonal to a direction of viewing the virtual image through the optical element.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2011Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: PIONEER CORPORATIONInventor: Yasuo Tanahashi

Publication number: 20140145913Abstract: The display device includes: an image forming element which forms an image to be displayed; and an optical element which reflects a light emitted by the image forming element to display a virtual image. A first angle of the image forming element with respect to a traveling direction of the light traveling from a center of the image forming element to a center of the optical element is set in accordance with a second angle of the optical element with respect to the traveling direction of the light such that distortion of the virtual image displayed by the optical element becomes small.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2011Publication date: May 29, 2014Inventor: Yasuo Tanahashi

Patent number: 7835237Abstract: There are obtainable reliable and proper tracking correction and CTC even when fluctuations occur in an irradiation position of a sub-beam in a track at the time of performing tracking correction and CTC using three beams. Five beams (a main beam, sub-beams inA and inB, and sub-beams outA and outB) are generated. Reflection beams of the five beams are received, and a differential push pull signal DPPin corresponding to the sub-beams “in” as ± first-order beams and a differential push pull signal DPPout corresponding to the sub-beams “out” as ± second-order beams are generated. By assigning weights to the differential push pull signals DPPin and DPPout and computing the sum of the weighted signals, a tracking error signal Ste having an amplitude value which can perform tracking correction is generated.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Yasuo Tanahashi, Takuma Yanagisawa

Patent number: 7835250Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to accurately and adequately adjust the position where sub beams are shone when performing tracking correction or CTC using three beams. The invention adjusts the positions where the sub beams are shone onto the surface of an optical disc DK by changing the angle of a diffraction grating 211 that is mounted inside an optical pickup. When performing adjustment, the angle of the diffraction grating 211 is performed in three stages: (i) rough adjustment, (ii) initial fine adjustment and (iii) continuous fine adjustment.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Pioneer CorporationInventors: Takuma Yanagisawa, Yasuo Tanahashi

Patent number: 5031106Abstract: A machine tool includes a spindle head (4) movable in a predetermined direction, a spindle (9) attached to the spindle head (4) for undergoing machining of a workpiece, a column (3) supporting the spindle head (4), the column (3) being movable over a predetermined plane (X-Y plane) perpendicular to the predetermined direction so that the spindle head (4) is movable over a plurality of machining regions (22L, 22R), a plurality of palettes (23L, 23R) each detachably mounting the workpiece and movable into and away from its associated machining region, and a table (13) mounting the plurality of palettes (23L, 23R) thereon. In one aspect of the invention, an external operation box (101) is provided from which a selected program number is entered and is impressed on an input port of a CPU (100). The CPU (100) calls a machining program identified by the selected program number to thus perform machining of the palette loaded on the associated machining region.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 1989Date of Patent: July 9, 1991Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuo Tanahashi, Shouki Yasuda, Kouichi Yasumoto
