  • Publication number: 20100265473
    Abstract: [Object]To provide a scan-type projection device that can lengthen a projecting time during a battery-powered operation. [Constitution] If a battery 600 is sufficiently charged, an actuator control part 120 drives a movable mirror 43 so as to form a normal turning angle, and an image signal processing part 130 drives a light source part 41 so as to irradiate laser lights with predetermined gradations to one pixel region for a normal irradiation time t1. Accordingly, an image with a normal screen size is displayed on a projection plane. Meanwhile, if the battery becomes low in remaining level, the actuator control part 120 drive the movable mirror 43 so as to form a small turning angle, and the image signal processing part 130 drives the light source part 41 so as to irradiate laser lights with predetermined gradations to one pixel region for a short irradiation time t2. Accordingly, an image with a reduced screen size is displayed on a projection plane.

  • Patent number: 5710556
    Abstract: A device for locating a moving body includes:an interrogation unit (10) for communicating with a response unit (50) mounted on a vehicle (51) present in a lane of a communication zone "a"; receiving antennas (21, 22) having receiving areas "21b, 22b" divided in the width direction of the lane; and a processor (40) for determining the position of the vehicle in the communication zone based on a reception result from the receiving antennas. The device may also include a detecting device such as an imaging device (30) having an imaging area "c" of a size equal to the lane. This makes it possible to recognize an unauthorized vehicle (52) not having a response unit and thus passing through the imaging area "c" without a radio signal to be received by the receiving antennas (21, 22).

  • Patent number: 5245346
    Abstract: An interrogation responder system composed of a transmitter stationarily mounted in a certain fixed place and a receiver mounted on a mobile object. The receiver on the mobile side starts the operation when a power is supplied to the entire circuit in accordance with a wake-up signal from the transmitter on the fixed side so as to modulate the electromagnetic signal emitted from the transmitter on the fixed side in accordance with a predetermined code and reflect a response. This enables continuing bilateral communication of a command, data and so forth. By starting communication between the transmitter and the receiver by a direct wave of a carrier signal in a microwave band after sensing that the receiver on the mobile side has entered a good communication zone, secure communication is enabled at a sufficient electric field strength.
