Abstract: A distance measurement apparatus includes: a laser light source configured to emit emitted light to be applied to an object to be measured; a laser light source control circuit configured to control the laser light source; a MEMS mirror configured to two-dimensionally scan the object with the emitted light; a reflecting member configured to cover a part of a scan region, and reflect the emitted light; and a light detector configured to receive reflected light from the object to be measured and reflected light from the reflecting member, and output a received light signal. The laser light source control circuit sets, to a threshold value, an amount of the emitted light obtained when output of the light detector is saturated, and controls an amount of the emitted light such that the amount of the emitted light is less than the threshold value.

Abstract: A flexible member is provided which can have excellent load resistance and flexibility while being more compact. This flexible member has a main body part in which multiple wave washers having closed ring shapes is stacked in an axial direction and joined to each other by multiple joint parts, and the main body part is able to be bent with respect to the axial direction due to elastic deformation of the wave washers. Each of the joint parts includes: a pair of welded parts in linear shape, being gradually separated from each other in a circumferential direction from an inner circumferential side toward an outer circumferential side of the wave washer.

Abstract: The suspension device according to the present invention is provided with a leaf spring extending in a belt shape, a first arm, a second arm, and a coupling member for rotatably coupling the first arm and the second arm, wherein: a first holding part for holding one end of the leaf spring and a second holding part for holding the other end of the leaf spring are provided; and the first and second arms each support the leaf spring by at least one portion that is different from the one end or the other end of the leaf spring.

Abstract: Mounting a power supply ring-shaped conductor and a ground ring-shaped conductor within the innermost circumferential ring-shaped area enclosing the semiconductor chip and within the ring-shaped region adjacent to the outer side of this innermost circumferential ring-shaped region when mounting the semiconductor chip on the substrate package, makes the chip more resistant to noise but also conversely causes the problem of increased cost and size for the entire semiconductor device. The power supply pad and ground pad are here clustered in the outermost ring-shaped area on the semiconductor chip. The power supply terminal and ground terminal are clustered on the innermost ring-shaped region enclosing the semiconductor chip. This placement reduces the size and manufacturing cost of the overall semiconductor device.
