  • Underwater object destruction system and underwater object destruction method
    Patent number: 11181347
    Abstract: A laser beam is condensed in a close position to a target object in underwater so as to generate an air bubble or plasma. The target object is efficiently destroyed by a shock by the air bubble or the plasma.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 23, 2021
    Assignee: MITSUBISHI HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD.

  • Laser communication system and laser communication method
    Patent number: 11115127
    Abstract: A solid obstacle is removed with a high-power laser beam to establish a transmission path for a spatial laser communication. When a space in which the laser beam is transmitted is blocked off by the solid obstacle, the spatial laser communication cannot be carried out.

  • Optical test apparatus
    Patent number: 9658043
    Abstract: An optical test apparatus includes a three-dimensional dome, light sources and a control unit. The three-dimensional dome covers a field of view of an image acquisition device. The image acquisition device is a test target device. The light sources are dispersedly arranged on the three-dimensional dome and generate a predetermined image on the three-dimensional dome. The first control unit controls the light sources.

  • Image obtaining apparatus
    Patent number: 9456115
    Abstract: An image obtaining apparatus has a swing-type optical system, an optical dome and a correction optical system. The swing-type optical system is configured to adjust a photographing direction based on a swinging operation. The correction optical system corrects transmitted light beams through the optical dome to parallel light beams parallel to the photographing direction.
