摘要:
An image display device comprises a light-emitting unit (1), an optical fiber (2) which transmits light emitted from the light-emitting unit, and a plurality of spheres (3) disposed so as to be coupled to the optical fiber (2) by evanescent coupling and having optical transparency. Each of the spheres (3) produces an optical mode in which light entering each sphere from the optical fiber (2) by the evanescent coupling is confined inside, and are so formed that predetermined resonant frequencies of the spheres for producing the optical mode are different from one another, so that an image is displayed by the light emitted from the spheres (3). This provides a simply structured image display device having a high response speed and capable of achieving power saving, a high luminance, a wide view angle, and a high contrast.

Provided is a surface plasmon resonance sensor device having excellent measurement accuracy. The device is equipped with an optical fiber 2,32 for introducing a light incident from one end thereof to the other end, a core exposed portion 3,33a formed to expose core 5,33 of the optical fiber 2,32, and a thin metal film 4,35 formed on the core exposed portion 3,33a and capable of exciting surface plasmon. The core exposed portion 3 is a first microsphere 3 disposed at the other end portion of the optical fiber 2 and the thin metal film 4 is formed on the surface of the microsphere 3. The thin metal film may be a first fine-metal-particle thin film 25 in which fine metal particles 24 have been distributed uniformly. The core exposed portion 33a is disposed in the midway of the optical fiber 32 and the thin metal film 35 is formed to cover therewith the entire surface of the core exposed portion 33a. The core exposed portion 33a is equipped with a second microsphere 36 formed integral with the core 33 and the thin metal film 35 is formed to cover the microsphere 36. The thin metal film 35 may be a second fine-metal-particle thin film 38 in which fine metal particles 37 have been distributed uniformly.

The composite planetary gear apparatus according to the present invention can bring about an advantageous effect to prevent fuel efficiency from being lowered stemming from the increased stirring loss of oil. The apparatus comprises a first planetary gear assembly 11 having a sun gear S1, pinion gears P1, and a ring gear R1, and a second planetary gear assembly 12 having a sun gear S2, pinion gears P2, and a ring gear R2. The ring gears R1 and R2 surround the pinion gears P1 and P2 and are combined together to integrally form a counter drive gear 13. The counter drive gear 13 is formed with a plurality of through bores 13c each having an inner end opened at a closed space defined by the first and second planetary gear assemblies 11 and 12, and an outer end opened at an outer space surrounding the counter drive gear 13.

A print control apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store print attributes and print settings corresponding to the print attributes in association with each other, a search unit configured to search the storage unit for a print attribute corresponding to a print attribute of document data in accordance with an instruction to print the document data, and a generation unit configured to, when the corresponding print attribute is detected, set a print setting corresponding to the print attribute as a print setting of the document data and generate print data to be output to the print apparatus, and when no corresponding print attribute can be detected, accept input of a print setting of the document data and generate print data using the accepted print setting.
摘要:
When users employ a printer driver having the function of automatically selecting a development mode, the invention is intended to make the function of automatically selecting a development mode more convenient to the users. To that end, when one of development modes including a vector mode and an image mode is automatically decided, the printer driver automatically decides a plurality of print setting items in printing data to be processed in the decided development mode depending on the contents of drawing.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus obtains registration information associated with an information processing apparatus at a transmission destination to which an image read by an image reader is to be transmitted. Based on the registration information, the image processing apparatus determines whether the information processing apparatus requires executing image rotation at the image processing apparatus.
