  • Patent number: 10979641
    Abstract: A suitable drive control of a lens unit for correcting image shake of a captured image is realized. An imaging device includes a lens unit supported rotatably in at least one of a yawing direction or a pitching direction within a casing, and this lens unit is driven by a driving section in at least one of the yawing direction or the pitching direction on a basis of a shake correction driving signal. In this case, the shake correction driving signal is generated by using detection information regarding rotation applied to the casing and detection information regarding rotation occurring on the lens unit in the casing.

  • Patent number: 7840126
    Abstract: A vibration detecting device includes: a vibration amount detecting unit including at least a vibration amount sensor which is a portion for detecting a vibration amount, and outputting a vibration detection signal which is a signal indicating the detected vibration amount, and a high-pass filter configured to remove DC components to be superimposed on the vibration detection signal; a status detecting unit configured to detect a particular status which causes a result for providing particular change to the vibration amount detected by said vibration amount sensor; and an input control unit configured to prevent said vibration amount detection signal from being input to said high-pass filter in response to said particular status being detected by said status detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 7212360
    Abstract: Provided is information processing equipment capable of efficiently performing data transfer restarted after it is suspended because a possibility of being affected by an impact derived from dropping or the like is predicted or detected. During transfer of data from an HDD, an amount-of-transferred data meter counts in real time the number of sectors from which data has been transferred. An acceleration sensor detects acceleration applied to the equipment. A sector that may be affected by an impact derived from dropping or the like is identified based on the number of sectors indicated with a result of the measurement obtained when the detected acceleration value exceeds a threshold. Information on the sector is written in a register. When the data transfer is restarted, it is restarted with data stored in the sector that is recorded in the register.
