Patent number: 9325955
Abstract: A light source apparatus includes an optical plate, a convergence optical system, a transfer optical system and two casting optical systems. The optical plate includes a translucent segment and a fluorescent substance layer. The convergence optical system converges an excitation light to the translucent segment and to the fluorescent substance layer. The transfer optical system transfers a spot of the excitation light to a transfer plane of the optical plate. The first casting optical system projects a light source image of fluorescence, which is formed on the fluorescent substance layer, onto a common casting plane. The second casting optical system which projects the spot of the excitation light onto the common casting plane. Optical path lengths of the two casting optical systems are the same.

Abstract: An analog electronic timepiece includes a stepping motor, a gear train mechanism having gears, a pointer, a drive control unit, a control content changing unit, and a pointer position adjustment unit. If an operational command to rotate the pointer to a different moving target position is obtained while an operational control for rotating the pointer to a certain moving target position is in progress, the control content changing unit terminates the control and changes a control content to an operational control according to the command. If the reverse rotation driving operation is being performed, the pointer position adjustment unit performs an adjustment operation for removing shifting between a predicted position of the pointer and an actual position of the pointer which occurs because of rotational input from the stepping motor not being transmitted to the pointer due to gaps relating to the mesh of the gears.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus capable of identifying desired time points without using a special device is provided. The image capture apparatus 1 includes a moving image acquiring unit 53, a calculating unit 56, and an identification area analyzing unit 57. The moving image acquiring unit 53 acquires a plurality of images captured consecutively. The calculating unit 56 calculates variation values of pixel values along a time series of the plurality of images acquired by the moving image acquiring unit 53, within a predetermined region common to the plurality of images. The identification area analyzing unit 57 identifies two time points according to a predetermined standard from among a plurality of time points in the time series, on the basis of the variation values of the pixel values calculated by the calculating unit 56.
