  • Publication number: 20220237995
    Abstract: A tactile sensation presentation device includes a light source that emits a laser beam toward a test site that is a region of a skin surface of a biological object and a control device that generates a control signal that controls the light source and causes the light source to emit the laser beam in a modulated manner. The laser beam emitted from the light source in a manner modulated in accordance with the control signal from the control device whereby the test site is irradiated is absorbed at the test site and generates a pressure wave that is a thermoelastic wave by the photoacoustic phenomenon.

  • Publication number: 20210355597
    Abstract: An image capturing unit captures an image of a surface of a member treated by a surface treatment unit. A comparison unit obtains a correlation coefficient between a reference image stored in a storage unit and the image captured by the image capturing unit. A cross-correlation coefficient between power spectra of the reference image and the image captured by the image capturing unit is obtained. A control unit stops a surface treatment performed by the surface treatment unit when the correlation coefficient obtained by the comparison unit reaches a set value.

  • Publication number: 20210151813
    Abstract: A terminal mounted in advance on a battery of an instrument that is a management target wirelessly transmits a battery state obtained by detecting an electric property related to a remaining battery amount of the battery and a terminal ID for identifying the terminal, and a management device displays remaining amount information related to the battery remaining amount on a screen based on the terminal ID and the battery state received from the terminal. This allows a user to easily figure out the remaining amount of a battery being used in an existing instrument.

  • Patent number: 9372339
    Abstract: A wavelength swept light source includes a sawtooth waveform as a main waveform and an exponential component of the sawtooth waveform to the controlled voltage of the electro-optic deflector. The controlled voltage is controlled so that, as an oscillation wavelength to be swept is swept towards a longer wavelength side, a change rate of the oscillation wavelength is increased.

  • Patent number: 9198580
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a noninvasive constituent concentration measuring apparatus and constituent concentration measuring apparatus controlling method, in which accurate measurement can be performed by superimposing two photoacoustic signals having the same frequency and reverse phases to nullify the effect from the other constituent occupying large part of the object to be measured.

  • Publication number: 20130286454
    Abstract: In a wavelength swept light source using a polygon mirror in a well-known art, an oscillation wavelength roughly linearly varies in an upwardly slight convex shape with respect to time. On the other hand, in a wavelength swept light source of SS-OCT, the wavelength is required to vary so that a wavenumber (inverse of wavelength) linearly varies on a time axis. The wavelength swept light source of the well-known art has had a drawback that such wavelength variation cannot be implemented; non-linear distortion occurs in a resultant OCT image; and thereby, a point spread function cannot be kept sharp.
