  • Publication number: 20100326189
    Abstract: An angular velocity detection apparatus (i.e., physical quantity detection apparatus) includes a gyro sensor element (i.e., physical quantity detection element) that allows an angular velocity detection signal that corresponds to the magnitude of an angular velocity (i.e., physical quantity) and a leakage signal of vibrations based on a drive signal (square-wave voltage signal) to flow through a detection electrode, a driver circuit that generates the drive signal, a synchronous detection circuit that performs a synchronous detection process on a detection target signal that includes the angular velocity detection signal and the leakage signal based on a detection signal that is synchronized with the drive signal, and a phase change circuit that changes a relative timing of at least one of a rising edge and a falling edge of the detection signal with respect to the detection target signal based on a control signal so that at least part of the leakage signal is output by the synchronous detection process.

  • Publication number: 20070103645
    Abstract: Task To provide a projector using a light source device that is rapidly turned on and emit light with high energy efficiency. Means for Resolution Microwaves having different phases are radiated from antennas to three branched light emitting areas in an electrodeless lamp. Light emitted from the three light emitting areas are radiated from one light radiating area of the electrodeless lamp. The microwaves having the maximum amplitude and a plurality of phases are sequentially radiated onto the three light emitting areas, which makes it possible for the electrodeless lamp 1 to emit light with high energy efficiency.
