Abstract: A press-fit terminal is made up of a wire material of predetermined length. At a first end of wire material of the press-fit terminal is formed a tip for insertion into a substrate, and at the other end is formed a connection portion for connection to a corresponding terminal. A press-fit portion for press-fitting into the substrate is formed at the tip side of the wire material of the press-fit terminal, and a shoulder portion is formed to the connecting portion side of the press-fit portion. By making use of the press-fit terminal, damage to the substrate and breakage of contacts can be minimized, consistent insertion force and retaining force can be attained.

Abstract: Based on a detection signal from a drop sensor, it is determined whether or not an apparatus is actually dropping. When the apparatus is determined to be dropping, access to a HDD for recording or reading is forbidden, while when the apparatus is determined not to be dropping, the access is allowed. When the access is allowed, a process which is performed immediately before the access is forbidden is resumed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an imaging apparatus according to one embodiment of the invention has an image taking part, an image data processor, a display part, a storage part, and a controller. The controller displays a curved band-like image, which is a part of a ring shape, in a left side region of the display part, and displays a menu-type identification icon image for identification of a present menu as a taking menu, a reproduction menu, or a set-up menu in an inside region, which is provided on the left side of the curved band-like region. The controller has a display parts selector for arranging a plurality of menu item icon images, which correspond to the menu-type identification icon image being displayed, and an icon image for set-up on the curved band-like image.

Abstract: The perpendicular fitting female terminal according to the present invention comprises a tubular body having two first walls facing in a height direction and opposing to each other and two second walls facing in a width direction and opposing to each other, and extending in a depth direction, and a connecting part being aligned with the body in the depth direction and being integrally provided with the body, and being able to be connected to a conductor including electric wire. The two second walls of this perpendicular fitting female terminal are provided respectively with receiving holes penetrating, and inside the body is provided a leaf spring that undergoes elastic deformation in the height direction, and when a plug is accepted through any receiving hole, the leaf spring is pressed by the plug to undergo elastic deformation in the height direction.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a camera apparatus includes a reproduction control unit reproducing a shot video after a plurality of index images using “I” frames extracted at predetermined intervals from moving image data for reproducing the shot video are generated and displayed, when reproducing the shot video.

Abstract: The invention provides a portable image pickup device which is capable of solving the lengthening of an activation time caused in accordance with a structure of a file system. When an operating system is activated, unused cluster information corresponding to real data stored in a hard disc drive (105) is acquired from an FSINFO region (103). Hence, it is possible to omit a work for retrieving an FAT region (124) in processing for initializing a file system, and thus it is possible to shorten a time required to initialize the file system. As a result, it is possible to shorten a time required for processing for activating the operating system, and it is possible to enhance mobility from a phase in which a power source of a portable image pickup device (1) is turned ON to a phase in which the portable image pickup device (1) becomes available.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image acquisition apparatus includes a removable recording medium which is attached to a recording medium requiring certain time for starting up, and configured to record data when only a system program is started, an image processing unit which generates an image signal to be recorded, a switching control unit which causes the attached recording medium to record an image signal generated by the image processing unit during startup of the attached recording medium, wherein information can be recorded in a short time after a main power supply is turned on.

Abstract: A connector including: a male connector having a generally-box-shaped first housing and a first connection terminal; and a female connector having a generally-box-shaped second housing and a second connection terminal. The second housing has an airway for allowing the second housing inside to communicate with the outside. The first connection terminal has a communicating path for allowing the first housing inside to communicate with the outside. Because the inside of the sealed case and connector can be opened to the atmosphere through the communicating paths, the internal pressure of the sealed case can be brought into a condition close to or agreement with the atmospheric pressure. Even when temperature variations rapidly change the internal pressure of the sealed case, cracking in the sealed case can be avoided because internal pressure changes in the sealed case can be relieved.
