Laser radar for three-dimensional scanning

In a laser radar, a first scanning member scans a laser beam in a virtual plane passing through an axis. A control means controls displacements of the first scanning member to change a scan beam angle in the plane. A second scanning member deflects the scanned laser beam and again scans the deflected laser beam toward an external space. A light collecting means collects reflected light. A driving means rotates both the second scanning member and the light collecting means about the axis. The second scanning member has a deflecting surface to deflect the laser beam. The deflecting surface is formed around the axis and has a plurality of reflecting surfaces coaxially arranged centering on the axis. The reflecting surfaces have different inclinations with respect to a horizontal plane perpendicular to the axis.

Bi-axial swivel assembly in electronic apparatus

A bi-axial swivel assembly allows the rotation of a bracket around the longitudinal axis of a support shaft when the restriction cam lies inside an imaginary reference plane. The attitude of the bracket is allowed to change around the longitudinal axis of the support shaft. Only if the bracket allows the restriction cam get off a recess, the perpendicular surface serves to prevent the restriction cam from protruding outside the imaginary reference plane. The attitude of the bracket can be prevented from changing around the rotation axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The bi-axial swivel assembly allows the wire to penetrate through first and second hollow spaces. When the bracket rotates around the longitudinal axis, the wire is only forced to suffer from a slight torsion within the first hollow space. The wire can be protected from a larger flexure.

Computer with security function and method therefor

A technique for prohibiting access to a computer having a security function when a security device is illegally removed from the computer. The security device is a hardware component that constitutes a part of a security function for a computer. When the security device is illegally removed from the computer, access to the computer is prohibited. Data indicating that the security device is attached to the computer are stored in a nonvolatile memory. Then, when a specific event, such as a power-ON event, is used as a trigger, the procedure for prohibiting the access to the computer is initiated. Following this, based on the data stored in the memory, it is detected that the security device was once attached to the computer and that it has now been removed. If currently the security device is not attached to the computer, although it was attached before, the access to the computer is prohibited.
