Publication number: 20120098989Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an image capturing unit that capture image data, a display that displays the image data, a calendar that provides current time and date information, and a determination unit that classifies the image data by determining which one of plural different scene categories corresponds to the image data. The apparatus also includes a count unit that obtains the current time and data information from the calendar, adds the image data to the time and date information and increments a number of images captured today corresponding to the scene category classified by the determination unit when a date of a currently captured image data is the same as a date in a previously captured image data. A display unit displays, on the display, the number of images captured today corresponding to each of the plural different scene categories.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2011Publication date: April 26, 2012Inventor: Wataru SUGAWARA

Patent number: 6548924Abstract: A protective device (3) for a hermetic type electromotively driven compressor (1a) includes a protector assembly (30) having a housing (32) with an electric current fuse (34) which detects a predetermined over-current. The housing (32) comprises an electrically insulating skirt member (31) formed so as to block a conductive part on the side facing an external connection terminal. By forming the electrically insulating skirt member (31) of housing (32) for a hermetic type electromotively driven compressor, insulation distance between a conductive part such as the electric current fuse (34) and an external conductive part such as a metal wall part (21) is set to be 9.5 mm or more.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignees: Texas Instruments Incorporated, Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Hideharu Furukawa, Yoshihiko Ishikawa, Toshio Shimada, Wataru Sugawara

Patent number: 5497286Abstract: An overload protective apparatus has fixed contacts connected to at least one pair of fixed terminals secured on the bottom of a case, a dish-shaped polymetallic element, e.g., a bimetal or trimetal having movable contacts bonded thereon so as to oppose the fixed contacts, and an adjusting bolt supporting a central portion of the polymetallic element for maintaining the polymetallic element at a position separate from the bottom of the case, wherein the polymetallic element and the adjusting bolt are accommodated in the case. The polymetallic element used herein is constructed to make a current density around bonding portions for the movable contacts higher than other regions, such that portions around the movable contacts are more susceptible to rupture when an abnormal current flows through the polymetallic element. The polymetallic element is also constructed to prevent degradation of the spring constant thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1993Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Shimada, Wataru Sugawara
