  • Patent number: 10630046
    Abstract: A laser light adjusting method includes detecting a pair of mode hops and a comparison saturated absorption line group of the pair of mode hops based on an intensity of a light output signal in response to a change applied to an actuator, comparing a mode center voltage value with a comparison voltage value which is the voltage value at which the comparison saturated absorption line group was generated; a control temperature adjustment process that increases a control temperature when the comparison voltage value is lower than the mode center voltage value, and that decreases the control temperature of the temperature adjuster when the comparison voltage value is greater than the mode center voltage value; and a laser light stabilization step that stabilizes an emission frequency of the laser light to a specific saturated absorption line after the control temperature adjustment process.

  • Patent number: 10539216
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a differential device includes a first step and a second step. The first step is to cast a differential case by pouring molten cast iron into, via a gate, a mold having, on a mold surface, a mark formation site that has a specific positional relationship to the gate. The second step is to fit the differential case with a ring gear and weld the differential case and the ring gear together entirely around a prescribed axis. In the second step, the differential case and the ring gear are welded together using a mark formed on the differential case by the mark formation site in the first step so that an overlap of welding does not occur in a portion of the differential case formed near the gate of the mold.

  • Patent number: 10530116
    Abstract: A laser device includes an excitation light source, a resonator which receives excitation light from the excitation light source and generates laser light, an absorption cell to which the laser light is emitted, a light converter which converts the laser light passing through the absorption cell to a light output signal, a third order differential lock-in amplifier which generates a third order differential signal of the light output signal, and a controller. When a predetermined waveform of the third order differential signal is detected, the controller includes a return controller that determines a return direction of a resonator length based on the predetermined waveform and a resonator length controller that changes the resonator length to the return direction.

  • Patent number: 10531387
    Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a communication unit that transmits a signal at a predetermined interval and a control unit that includes a first state and a second state in which power consumption is lower than in the first state. When the control unit shifts from the first state to the second state, the communication unit changes a transmission interval of the signal from a first interval to a second interval, which is longer than the first interval. In a case where a predetermined time has elapsed after the control unit shifts from the first state to the second state, the communication unit changes the transmission interval of the signal to a third interval, which is longer than the second interval.
