Publication number: 20240362434Abstract: A display control system includes a first wireless device attached to a management target and storing first identification information for identifying the management target, a second wireless device installed at a predetermined position and storing second identification information, a reading apparatus, at least one processor, and at least one memory. The processor and memory are configured to estimate a located position of the management target based on reading results of the first identification information at a first reading time and the second identification information at a second reading time and cause a display apparatus to display an estimated area within which the management target is estimated to be located based on the located position. A magnitude of the estimated area is based on an amount of movement of the reading apparatus between the first reading time and the second reading time.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: YUKI NAKAJIMA, YASUHIRO SHIMURA, TOSHIFUMI KITAMURA, JUNNA TAKASE, YASUHIRO TOMIOKA

Patent number: 11316078Abstract: An optical wavelength converter (1) is configured such that an optical wavelength conversion member (9) is bonded to a heat dissipation member (13) having superior heat dissipation property. Thus, heat generated by light incident on the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be efficiently dissipated. Therefore, even when high-energy light is incident on the optical wavelength converter, temperature quenching is less likely to occur, and thus high fluorescence intensity can be maintained. An intermediate film (21) is disposed between a reflective film (19) and a bonding portion (15). The presence of the intermediate film (21) improves the adhesion between the reflective film (19) and the bonding portion (15), thereby enhancing the heat dissipation from the optical wavelength conversion member (9) to the heat dissipation member (13). Thus, the temperature quenching of the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be prevented, thereby enhancing fluorescence intensity.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: NGK SPARK PLUG CO., LTD.Inventors: Syohei Takaku, Yusuke Katsu, Tsuneyuki Ito, Yuki Shimura, Shinji Ban, Takeshi Mitsuoka
