  • Patent number: 10582154
    Abstract: A picture presentation system 1 presents a user U with a picture where a virtual image Di is created in a space in front of the user U. The picture presentation system 1 includes a hologram mirror 10 configured to reflect a picture composed of light of a specific wavelength at an angle different from an angle of incidence and transmit light other than the light of the specific wavelength, and a screen 20 configured to display the picture toward the hologram mirror. The hologram mirror 10, being placed opposite to the user U, reflects the picture from the screen 20 in such a way that the user U can visually recognize the virtual image Di of the picture at a position on the opposite side from the user U across the hologram mirror 10 (arrow AR1).

  • Patent number: 7292824
    Abstract: A reception side radio station has a notification signal generator 108 which transmits a notification signal for notifying information of a frequency of a radio link being used at the radio station, and a transmitter 111 which transmits information indicating a reception power level and its frequency as radio signal data. On the other hand, a transmission side radio station has a notification signal measurer 106 which measures a reception power level of the notification signal and detects the frequency notified by the signal, and a frequency band controller 109 which determines an assignable frequency band for a radio link between the transmission side radio station and the reception side radio station based on the radio signal data and the notification signal.
