  • Patent number: 8692879
    Abstract: An image capturing system is provided which includes a detection section for detecting a position of an capturing section capable of performing a pan operation and a tilt operation, a determination section for determining which coordinate system is used, either a first coordinate system representing the position of the capturing section in the pan direction and the tilt direction or a second coordinate system representing a position of a subject image of the subject captured by the capturing section in a screen, and a coordinate calculator for calculating coordinates representing the position of the capturing section in the first coordinate system based on the detected position of the capturing section when using the first coordinate system, and calculating coordinates representing the position of the subject image in the second coordinate system based on the detected position of the capturing section when using the second coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 5793564
    Abstract: An auto-loading system for recording medium cartridges is provided which permits the simple and reliable operation of rotating the recording medium cartridges between a magazine and a drive. The auto-loading system has a cartridge tray of an elevator which is moved upward and downward between a cartridge port of the drive and a cartridge insertion port and a cartridge ejection port of the magazine within an autoloader body so that a plurality of recording medium cartridges are rotated between the magazine and the drive by the operation of ejecting the recording medium cartridges into the cartridge tray from the cartridge ejection port of the magazine by a first cartridge ejecting mechanism and the operation of ejecting the recording medium cartridges into the cartridge port of the drive or the cartridge insertion port of the magazine from the cartridge tray by a second cartridge ejecting mechanism.
