  • Publication number: 20240177380
    Abstract: An information analysis system includes a communication terminal including first circuitry and an information analysis apparatus including second circuitry. The first circuitry acquires image information and voice information of a plurality of participants participating in an online event and transmits, to the information analysis apparatus, the image information and the voice information. The second circuitry performs analysis on a state of the plurality of participants based on the image information and the voice information transmitted from the communication terminal, and generates, based on the state of the plurality of participants, a state notification to be displayed on the communication terminal.

    Abstract: An imaging lens includes a first lens group, a second lens group having positive refractive power, an aperture, and a third lens group having positive refractive power, sequentially disposed in that order from an object side to an image side. During a focusing from infinity to a short length, a combination of the second lens group, the aperture, and the third lens group as a single unit moves to the object side so as to reduce a distance to the first lens group. The second lens group includes four lenses of a second-first negative lens, a second-second positive lens, a second-third negative lens, and a second-fourth positive lens sequentially disposed in that order from the object side to the image side.

  • Patent number: 9568703
    Abstract: An image reading lens includes a plurality of lenses, a first correcting mechanism that corrects a field curvature at a first correction part when temperature changes, and a second correcting mechanism that corrects an image-forming position when the temperature changes.

The front-group lens system includes equal to or less than 5 lenses which include at least one positive lens and at least one negative lens, and the rear-group lens system includes one negative lens. An angle of view of an entire system of the image-reading lens is equal to or more than 56°. The front-group and rear-group lens systems are structured such that with respect to a change in a distance between the front-group and rear-group lens systems, a change in a focal length of the entire system of the image-reading lens is small, and a change in an image plane is large, and by adjusting the distance between the front-group and rear-group lens systems, a required lens performance is obtained.
