  • Patent number: 10257422
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a solid-state image pickup element, an image pickup module and electronic equipment configured to avoid large scaling of an image pickup element caused by an improvement in functions thereof. The solid-state image pickup element is configured with a lamination of an image sensor substrate on which a plurality of pixels is arranged on a surface of a sensor, and a signal processing substrate in which signal processing of an image signal output from the image sensor substrate is executed. The signal processing substrate has an electronic blur correction processing unit, a first connection unit that connects with an optical blur correction processing unit, and a second connection unit that connects with a gyro sensor which detects a blur generated in an image. At least a part of signals passed between the gyro sensor and the optical blur correction processing unit passes through the signal processing substrate.

  • Publication number: 20180050655
    Abstract: An airbag includes a mounting region, a protection inflatable region and an intermediate region disposed between the mounting region and the protection inflatable region. An area of the airbag from the protection inflatable region to the intermediate region is formed of two panels that are continuous with each other at leading end regions of the panels apart from the mounting region and the two panels in that area are connected at opposite edges by a joint. The protection inflatable region includes at the leading end a folded region that is formed by bringing the leading end regions of the two panels closer to the mounting region so as to form four or more layers of the panels, such that the folded region includes at least two inflatable spaces between the layers and a crease that is continuous with the joint.

  • Patent number: 9741127
    Abstract: The image processing device generates an operation image by adding or subtracting an original image and a standard deviation image which maps the standard deviation for the pixels configuring the original image. In this operation image, images of the structures seen in parts in the original image other than metal pieces are erased. Consequently, structures that are not metal pieces appearing in the original image in a whitish color, for example, do not appear in the operation image. If such an operation image is subjected to binarization processing in which the metal pieces appearing in a whitish color, for example, are extracted, since accurate graph cut processing is then possible, images originating from structures that are not metal pieces do not appear in the resulting image.

  • Patent number: 8678341
    Abstract: To minimize the amount of air that may enter the damper chamber in a normally closed solenoid valve to stably maintain the damper capacity, the normally closed solenoid valve has a valve housing and a movable element. A cylinder having an open end is formed in one of the valve housing and the movable element. The cylinder has an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of a trunk of the movable element. A piston provided on the other of the valve chamber and the movable element is movable relative to the cylinder as the movable member moves. The piston is inserted into the cylinder through its open end to define a damper chamber between the piston and the cylinder. A restricted passage is formed between the damper chamber and the valve chamber through which hydraulic fluid can be moved between the valve chamber and the damper chamber.
