  • Patent number: 10591699
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image focusing method that is applied to an image capture device having an optical image stabilization (OIS) function, including: driving the at least one optical lens to tilt by an angle in response to a first selected target and a second selected target, and enabling a first light beam group from the first selected target and a second light beam group from the second selected target to be focused on a same imaging surface after passing through the at least one optical lens. In addition, the present invention further provides an image capture device and an electronic device that apply the foregoing method.

  • Patent number: 8319839
    Abstract: An optical image system includes an image pickup module, a swinging mechanism, a first swinging calibration element and a second swinging calibration element. When the optical image system is tilted because of handshaking, the image pickup module is swung by the swinging mechanism. At the same time, the first swinging calibration element and the second swinging calibration element detect whether the image pickup module is swung to an ideal position where the handshaking problem is eliminated.

  • Patent number: 5816966
    Abstract: A bicycle front derailleur with a cam level for smoother gear switching is disclosed. The bicycle derailleur is operated by pulling a wire which shifts a chain between at least a large sprocket, a medium sprocket and a small sprocket. The bicycle front derailleur contains a cam lever which is pivotably connected to a four-linkage chain guide moving system at a pivoting point for pulling the chain guide moving system, and thus shifting the chain, when a cable is pulled in a pulling direction. The cam lever has a cam groove formed on the peripheral surface of the cam lever for receiving the wire. The cam lever is structured such that the radial distance between the cam groove and the pivoting point increases in a direction opposite of the pulling direction, so as to provide a greater effective length vertical to the pulling direction when the wire is subject to a greater linear displacement resulting in a greater counterforce.
