Title: Innovations by Toshiyuki Kuritani
Introduction
Toshiyuki Kuritani is a notable inventor based in Kyoto, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of infrared detection technology. With a total of 2 patents, his work focuses on enhancing the capabilities of pyroelectric infrared detectors.
Latest Patents
Kuritani's latest patents include a "Pyroelectric infrared detector with an improved sensing element." This innovative detector is designed to cancel out noise and detect dead angles, allowing for accurate detection of the moving direction of a moving body. The design features four sensing electrodes arranged in an L-shaped form, differing by 90 degrees in phase while being symmetric about a center of rotation. This configuration enables the formation of dual detecting elements that provide processed output.
Another significant patent is the "Compound infrared detector." This device integrates a thermopile detector on one face of a pyroelectric insulating thin film, alongside a pyroelectric detector with electrodes installed on both faces. This design allows the compound infrared detector to function as both a pyroelectric and thermopile detector. The shared infrared ray responsive portion reduces the number of detectors and optical components needed, leading to a more efficient system.
