A flying objectis provided with a rotor bladethat generates lift and thrust by rotating and a rotating electrical machine unit that rotates the rotor blade. The rotor bladereceive wind power and rotate when not flying. The rotating electrical machine unit generates electric power based on a power that rotates the rotor bladeswhen not flying. In addition, the flying objectmay be provided with a power storage devicethat stores electric power generated by the rotating electrical machine unit. In addition, the flying objectmay be provided with a detachably connected cartridgethat has a desired function.

Flying object and flying object system

A wireless communication system including a shield room forming section, leaky transmission line, first antenna, first device, second antenna and second device. The shield room forming section covers an internal space with an electromagnetic wave reflector that blocks wireless communication. The leaky transmission line is provided with first and second leakage parts arranged inside the shield room forming section. The first antenna is arranged inside the shield room forming section and configured to be wirelessly communicable with the first leakage part. The first device is arranged inside the shield room forming section and has the first antenna. The second antenna is arranged inside the shield room forming section and configured to be wirelessly communicable with the second leakage part. The second device is arranged inside the shield room forming section and has the second antenna. The first device and the second device perform direct two-way wireless communication with each-other.

A flying vehicle navigation system includes a flying vehicle () and a control system () that controls the flight of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is configured to be switchable to autonomous driving when the flying vehicle is located in a first takeoff and landing section () set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, the control system guides the flying vehicle such that the flying vehicle takes off from a first takeoff and landing section, flies in a three-dimensional road as an exclusive track set in the specific region of the air, and lands on a second takeoff and landing section set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, operations from takeoff from the first takeoff and landing section to landing on the second takeoff and landing section are automatically carried out under control by the control system.

A method for inserting a wire into a contact pin utilizes a wire insertion tool. The wire insertion tool includes a first division block having a first wire insertion guide ditch forming plane where a first wire insertion guide ditch has been formed, a second division block having a second wire insertion guide ditch forming plane where a second wire insertion guide ditch has been formed, and a division block positioning guide. When the first and second division blocks are fitted together by fitting the first and second wire insertion guide ditch forming planes, the first and second wire insertion guide ditches form a wire insertion guide hole. The division block positioning guide guides one of the blocks linearly to the other block such that these planes approach each other or separate from each other.

When the first division block and the second division block form a coupling unit by fitting the first wire insertion guide ditch forming plane and the second wire insertion guide ditch forming plane, the first wire insertion guide ditch and the second wire insertion guide ditch form a wire insertion guide hole. The division block positioning guide guides one of these blocks linearly to the other such that these planes approach to each other or separate from each other.

An infrared detector including a reflection portion which transmits far- and middle-infrared rays and which reflects near-infrared and visible rays; a photo-current generating portion having a plurality of layered quantum dot structures in each of which electrons are excited by the far- and middle-infrared rays having passed through the reflection portion so as to generate photo-current; a light emitting portion having a plurality of layered quantum well structures into each of which electrons of the photo-current generated by the photo-current generating portion are injected and in each of which the electrons thus injected thereinto are recombined with holes so as to emit near-infrared and visible rays; and a photo-detecting portion which detects the near -infrared and visible rays emitted from the light emitting portion and which detects the near-infrared and visible rays emitted from the light emitting portion and then reflected by the reflection portion.

Infrared detector, infrared detecting apparatus, and method of manufacturing infrared detector

An infrared detector which converts entering infrared IR into light in a different wavelength band, and which detects the converted light in the different wavelength band includes: a convex-concave structure provided on a light acceptance surface of the infrared detector; and a metal film provided on an outer circumferential face of the light detector other than the light acceptance surface thereof, the metal film covering the outer circumferential face. In the infrared detector, light which enters the light detector after passing through the convex-concave structure and the converted light in the different wavelength band are confined inside the light detector: by causing the entering light to be reflected on the metal film; by causing light reflected on the metal film to be reflected on the convex-concave structure; and by causing the converted light in the different wavelength band to be reflected between the metal film and the convex-concave structure.
