    摘要: An adjustment circuit is connected between a power generation circuit that converts environmental energy into electric power and a power conversion circuit that converts the electric power generated by the power generation circuit into a desired form. The adjustment circuit includes a first circuit unit and a second circuit unit. The first circuit unit is configured to have an input connected to the power generation circuit and an output connected to the power conversion circuit. The second circuit unit is configured to have a connection point connected to the first circuit unit, a grounding point connected to a grounding electric potential, and a capacitor connected between the connection point and the grounding point. A magnitude of output resistance included in the second circuit unit is smaller than a magnitude of output resistance included in the power generation circuit. The capacitor is charged with the electric power output from the power generation circuit and outputs the charged electric power to the power conversion circuit.

    摘要: A distance image sensor including a light source that generates pulsed light, a light source control means that controls the light source, a pixel circuit including a photoelectric conversion region, charge reading regions, a charge discharging region, and control electrodes, a charge transfer control means that outputs control pulses to the control electrodes, and a distance calculation means that reads voltages of the charge reading regions as detection signals and repeatedly calculates a distance on the basis of the detection signals. The charge transfer control means sets a timing at which the control pulse is output to be before a timing at which the pulsed light is generated.

    摘要: A distance image sensor includes a light source, a light source control means for controlling the light source, a pixel circuit including a photoelectric conversion region, charge readout regions, and control electrodes, a charge transfer control means for sequentially applying a control pulse to the control electrodes, and a distance calculation means for reading voltages of the charge readout regions as detection signals and repeatedly calculating a distance on the basis of the detection signals, and the distance calculation means calculates a sum value of signal components of charge generated from the pulsed light other than background light among the detection signals, calculates a distance from the detection signals using a predetermined equation when the sum value exceeds a first threshold value, and invalidates the calculation of the distance when the sum value does not exceed the first threshold value.
