VEHICLE WIRING SYSTEM, OPTICAL COUPLER, AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING VEHICLE WIRING SYSTEM
A vehicle wiring system includes a plurality of functional units to be mounted in a vehicle, an optical transmission line that is wired between the functional units and configured to transmit an optical signal of the functional units, an electric wire harness that is provided, in a partial section of the optical transmission line, together with the optical transmission line in a state of being integrated with the optical transmission line, and an optical coupler that is disposed in a portion of the optical transmission line other than the section and constitutes a part of the optical transmission line.
Radiation delivery apparatus for microscope systems
A laser beam delivery apparatus for a microscope comprises first and second optical diffusers that are configured to move in a periodic manner with a respective different frequency. Each optical diffuser may comprise a spinning disk. The laser light is spatially randomized by the first spinning diffuser and its spatial pattern is further randomized by the second diffuser. The second diffuser prevents any spatial pattern from repeating after one revolution of the first diffuser, which prevents beating patterns from forming when the light is imaged through a spinning confocal disk and increases the uniformity in other cases.

Wake-up light
A wake-up light includes a shade, a housing, a power driver, a controller, a light source, and a timer. The power driver, the light source, the controller, and the timer are installed in a space enclosed by the shade and the housing; the power driver is externally connected to an alternating current, and supplies power to the timer and the light source; the timer is configured for real-time timing; the controller is connected to the light source and the timer; the controller receives timing information of the timer; when a first time set by a user is reached, the controller sends a light-source light-up signal to the light source so that a light intensity of the light source is gradually increased; and when a second time set by the user is reached, the controller sends an impulsive light signal to the light source so that the light source uninterruptedly emits impulsive light.
ILLUMINATED INFUSION LINE AND SYSTEMS
An IV line identification system to enable ready identification of an IV line and its associated fluid source and output from other IV lines with their fluid sources and outputs. The IV line identification system includes an optical member fixed to elongated member that emits light when a light source provides a light into the optical member.
LIGHT GUIDE PIPE AND LIGHT EMITTING MODULE COMPRISING THE SAME
A light guide pipe includes: a first light guide section formed at a first end of the light guide pipe, wherein the first light guide section is straightly extended along a longitudinal axis of the light guide pipe; a second light guide section formed at a second end of the light guide pipe, wherein an outer surface of the second light guide section is a convex curved surface, an outer diameter of the second light guide section is gradually increased along a direction from the second to the first ends, and a cavity is formed at a bottom of the second light guide section; and a third light guide section formed between the first and second light guide sections, wherein an outer surface of the third light guide section is a concave curved surface, and an outer diameter of the third light guide section is gradually decreased along the direction.
LIGHT DIFFUSION DEVICE AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT USING THE SAME
Provided is a light diffusion device capable of irradiating laser light onto a plurality of locations in a human body in a state in which a distal end portion of an optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. The light diffusion device includes an optical transmission cable including a plurality of cores, and a light refracting portion configured to refract the light emitted from each of the plurality of cores so that irradiation directions thereof are different from each other. With such a configuration, it is possible to irradiate the laser light in a plurality of directions when the distal end of the optical transmission cable is placed in the human body. Therefore, it is possible to change the location where the laser light is irradiated without extracting or re-inserting the optical transmission cable from or into the human body, thereby shortening the time required for photoimmunotherapy.
Light-diffusing optical elements having cladding with scattering centers
A light-diffusing optical element with efficient coupling to light sources with high numerical aperture. The light-diffusing optical element includes a higher index core surrounded by a lower index cladding. The cladding includes scattering centers that scatter evanescent light entering the cladding from the core. The scattered light exits the element to provide broad-area illumination along the element. Scattering centers include dopants, nanoparticles and/or internal voids. The core may also include scattering centers. The core is glass and the cladding may be glass or a polymer. The element features high numerical aperture and high scattering efficiency.
MULTIPLE SUNLIGHT COLLECTION STRUCTURE
The present invention relates to a method for collecting sunlight through an image method by tracking the sun using a dish-shaped light collector or a paraboloidal light collector and, and to a method and an apparatus for transmitting high-density light as the collected sunlight to a remote place, to which the light is applied, and for generating super-high-density light by combining, in a multi-stage manner, the high-density light obtained through a plurality of light collectors. A first concaveparaboloidal reflector of a paraboloidal light collection unit can collect light, transmit the collected light to the remote place, and provide an efficient and quantitative use environment to an applied device by using a paraboloidal reflector set including: a first concave-paraboloidal mirror in which a slope of a paraboloide is provided to make a narrow width so that downward reflection is greater than or equal to 90% by an angle between an incident angle at an inner point of a paraboloidal mirror and a normal surface, the angle being larger than a critical angle, and which has an opening formed at the lower side of a central axis thereof; and a second convex-paraboloidal reflector, which has a small diameter, shares a focus of the first concave-paraboloidal mirror, and has a miniaturized shape of the first concave-paraboloidal mirror at a focal portion without an opening at a central axis thereof.
