Latest Patents
Okuda's latest patents include a method and apparatus for image generation. This invention features a dichroic mirror for reflecting red light, which is used for both optical separating and synthesizing, installed on the same plane in an image-generating apparatus. Additionally, a dichroic mirror for reflecting blue light serves the same dual purpose. This compact configuration allows for efficient design. Furthermore, the main reflecting mirror is a rotating elliptic mirror, with a lamp positioned at or near the focus, enabling lighting equipment that emits conic luminous flux. Another notable patent is the method and apparatus for projection welding. This invention involves two metal plates that are projection welded together using a truncated conical projection on the first plate, which has a spherical end surface. The plates are pressed together through the projection, and a welding current pulse is applied, reaching a maximum value in less than 2 milliseconds. This innovative approach results in a thin welding nugget and minimizes thermal distortion of the outer plate surface.
