  • Patent number: 10965876
    Abstract: An imaging system includes: a transmitter that is attached to an object and wirelessly transmits a positioning signal; a positioning device that determines the position of the object based on the positioning signal; an imaging device that images the object in a variable direction and at a variable magnification; and a control device. The control device calculates a direction and a distance from the imaging device to the object based on the position of the object, and sets a first direction and a first magnification on the imaging device based on the calculated direction and distance. Then, the control device sets a second direction and a second magnification on the imaging device based on imaging data generated by imaging the object, the imaging data being generated by the imaging device on which the first direction and the first magnification are set.

  • Patent number: 10694227
    Abstract: The video transmission system includes a divided-clip generator for generating first and second clips, a transmission unit for sequentially transmitting the first and second clips, and a display apparatus for displaying the first and second clips. The first clip is generated by dividing video data by a specific time period and by dividing audio data by a specific time period. The second clip is generated after the first clip. The divided-clip generator includes a video output unit and an audio output unit. The video output unit divides the video data by a first time period equal to a multiple of a unit frame time of the video data. The audio output unit divides the audio data by a second time period equal to a multiple of a unit frame time of the audio data. The end of the first time period is before the end of the second time period.

  • Patent number: 8376598
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides a reflecting cover above and between a light-emitting chip and a projection lens. The diffused light from the light-emitting chip is led toward the projection lens via the reflecting cover such that it transmits through the projection lens at a certain angle. This makes it possible to increase the amount of controllable light, and to improve the amount of light beams radiated from the lamp, thereby realizing a brighter lamp and an improved light distribution shape.
