    Abstract: A card-type medium includes a card body; an exposed component that is accommodated inside an opening formed in a front surface of the card body and is disposed so as to be partially exposed on the front surface; and a circuit board that is embedded in the card body and to which the exposed component is attached. The exposed component includes a first exposed component that is attached to the circuit board with an intermediate spacer interposed therebetween. The first exposed component and the intermediate spacer are joined together by a first conductive joining material. The circuit board and the intermediate spacer are joined together by a second conductive joining material. A joint-forming temperature of the first conductive joining material and a joint-forming temperature of the second conductive joining material are different from each other.

    Abstract: A range imaging apparatus includes a light source unit that emits light pulse to a measurement space, a light receiver including pixels and a pixel driver circuit, and a range image processor that determines a measurement distance to a subject placed in the space. Each pixel includes a photoelectric conversion device that generates electric charge corresponding to incident light and charge accumulators that store the electric charge, the circuit distributes and stores the charge to each accumulator at a predetermined point in time synchronized with emission of the pulse, the processor acquires waveform information indicating degree of distortion of waveform of rectangular signal having distorted waveform, corrects, based on the information, charge amounts each indicating an amount of the electric charge stored when the waveform has no distortion, and determines the distance using the charge amounts, and the signal is used in signal processing performed until the distance is determined.

    Abstract: A light control sheet includes transparent electrodes including a first and second transparent electrode layers, a light control layer, a transparent support layer, and a covering layer. The transparent support layer has a support surface supporting the first transparent electrode layer, the first transparent electrode layer includes a first electrode element and a second electrode element aligned along the support surface and electrically insulated from each other by a groove extending in a direction along the support surface of the transparent support layer and that the groove is penetrating through the transparent support layer and the first transparent electrode layer in a depth direction of the groove and has an opening on the protected surface of the transparent support layer, and the covering layer is formed such that the covering layer is covering the opening of the groove formed in the transparent support layer and the first transparent electrode layer.
