Including Continuously Moving Film Patents (Class 396/11)
  • Patent number: 8184144
    Abstract: The present invention calibrates interior orientation parameters (IOP) and exterior orientation parameters (EOP). With the calibrated IOPs and EOPs, a remotely controlled camera can quickly obtains corresponding IOPs and EOPs no matter on panning, tilting or zooming. Thus, the remotely controlled camera obtains accuracies on imaging and measuring and obtains wide applications.

  • Patent number: 7512456
    Abstract: When a first substrate transferred outwardly from an indexer cell is the last substrate prior to reticle change in an exposure apparatus, the outward transfer of a second substrate to be processed subsequently to the first substrate from the indexer cell is temporarily stopped. After a lapse of time corresponding to reticle replacement time, the outward substrate transfer is restarted, and the second substrate is transferred outwardly from the indexer cell. For the exposure apparatus, the second substrate subjected to a resist coating process is received at the instant when the reticle replacement is completed after the completion of the exposure process of the first substrate. This provides a constant time interval between the completion of the resist coating process of substrates and the execution of the exposure process thereof without the decrease in processing efficiency. As a result, a uniform processing history for the substrates is achieved to further improve the line width uniformity of a pattern.

  • Patent number: 7355154
    Abstract: An image sensing apparatus has a light flux splitter disposed between a lens that focuses light flux of an object image on an image sensing surface and that image sensing surface and that branches the light flux of the object image out of an image sensing light path, a light receiving unit that receives the light flux of the object image branched by the light flux splitter and obtains a signal for focusing control of the lens, and a holding unit that holds the light flux splitter at either an effective position within the image sensing light path or at a retracted position outside the image sensing light path. The image sensing apparatus automatically holds the light flux splitter at either the effective position or the retracted position depending on image sensing conditions.

  • Patent number: 5937211
    Abstract: A camera includes a first control part arranged to make an exposure by operating a shutter with a film stopped, a second control part arranged to make a slit exposure by moving the film with the shutter opened, and a selection switch provided for selecting either the first control part or the second control part. Additionally, a segment display varies in response to film movement during slit exposure.
