  • Publication number: 20240106390
    Abstract: The present invention is provided with a plurality of solar power generation panels installed via trestles, where an upper surface of power generation surface of the panels faces the sunlight incidence direction. The solar power generation panels include double-sided incidence-type solar power generation panels provided with power generation surfaces on both the upper and lower sides. A light passage space is provided below a lower surface of a power generation surface. The present invention includes a reflector laid so as to cover a site ground underneath the solar power generation panels and the periphery thereof. The reflector is provided with a reflecting layer including a sheet material with a highly light-reflective colour where the surface side facing the lower surface of power generation surface reflects directly incident light of sunlight and scattered light of sunlight.

  • Publication number: 20230396873
    Abstract: An information processing device according to the present technology includes a control unit configured to perform image-capture control on the basis of image-capture rendering information indicating a change in captured image and image-capture target information indicating an image-capture target. The term “image-capture” used herein means an operation for obtaining an image using a camera, the “camera” being defined as both a real camera and a virtual camera that virtually changes composition by clipping a part of an image obtained as a result of a light-receiving operation of the real camera.

  • Patent number: 10788734
    Abstract: A film cover covers an exposure surface of a film unit to lighttightly block an exposure opening and is ejected from a discharge port. A bending guide groove is formed on the outside of an accompanying prevention rib in a width direction of a cover member along the accompanying prevention rib. The bending guide groove tilts a side edge portion, which is a distal end portion of the film cover, and the portion outside the accompanying prevention rib, in a protruding direction of the accompanying prevention rib. Since the side edge portion is bent by the bending guide groove, the both side edges portions do not engage with the discharge port, and the film cover can be ejected smoothly from the discharge port.

  • Patent number: 10488736
    Abstract: The film cover constituting the instant film pack includes a cover member, a pair of accompanying prevention ribs, a pair of outer light shielding ribs, and a pair of inner light shielding ribs. The accompanying prevention ribs are arranged in parallel with a discharge direction from a distal end of the film cover in the discharge direction. Similarly to the accompanying prevention ribs, since the outer light shielding ribs are formed on a front surface of the cover member, the outer light shielding ribs together with the accompanying prevention ribs can prevent the film unit from accompanying. A tilt surface of which a protruding height gradually decreases toward a distal end from a proximal end of the cover member is formed on the accompanying prevention rib.
