Abstract: Provided is a small, low-profile lens holder apparatus. A lens holder apparatus includes: a lens holder to which a lens section can be attached; a first drive section that moves the lens holder in a first direction along the optical axis; a second drive section that moves the lens holder in a second direction and/or third direction that are perpendicular to the optical axis and differ from each other; a supporting section that includes a base disposed in a position spaced from the lens holder and a supporting member that supports the lens holder so as to be able to move in the second direction and/or third direction; and a position detection section that is disposed on the supporting section in order to detect a position in the second direction and/or third direction of the lens holder with respect to the base.

Abstract: A lens holder driving device includes a lens holder moving portion, a fixed member, suspension wires, and a damper compound. In the lens holder moving portion, a lens holder moves in an optical axis and in first and second directions which are orthogonal to the optical axis and which are perpendicular to each other. The fixed member is disposed apart from the lens holder moving portion in the direction of the optical axis. The suspension wires have first end portions fixed to the fixed member at outer regions thereof, extending along the optical axis, having second end portions fixed to an elastic member mounted to the lens holder moving portion, and swingably supporting the lens holder moving portion in the first direction and the second direction. The damper compound is disposed so as to enclose at least one suspension wire and suppresses undesired resonance in the lens holder moving portion.

Abstract: A lens holder driving device includes an auto-focusing lens holder driving portion moving a lens holder holding a lens barrel along an optical axis, and an image stabilizer portion stabilizing image blurred by moving the auto-focusing lens holder driving portion in first and second directions which are orthogonal to the optical axis and which are perpendicular to each other. The image stabilizer portion includes: a fixed portion disposed apart from the auto-focusing lens holder driving portion in the direction of the optical axis; a plurality of suspension wires having first end portions fixed to the fixed portion at outer regions thereof, extending along the optical axis, having second end portions fixed to the auto-focusing lens holder driving portion, and swingably supporting the auto-focusing lens holder driving portion in the first direction and the second direction; and a fracture preventing member preventing the suspension wires from fracturing.

Abstract: A small size, low profile camera-shake correction device. A camera-shake correction device (10) corrects camera shake by moving the entire auto-focusing lens drive device (20) in a first direction (X) and a second direction (Y) which are perpendicular to the optical axis (O) and are perpendicular to each other, the auto-focusing lens drive device (20) being provided with a focusing coil (26) and a permanent magnet (28) which is disposed on the outside of the focusing coil.

Abstract: A method of controlling an information processing system including a first information processing device and a second information processing device the method has updating a control program held in a first storage device by the first information processing device, sending information on the updated control program from the first information processing device to the second information processing device, receiving the information on the updated control program by the second information processing device, comparing information on a control program held in the second information processing device with the information on the updated control program, sending a request from the second information processing device to the first information processing device to deliver the updated control program, sending the updated control program from the first information processing device to the second information processing device, and storing the updated control program sent from the first information processing device in a sec

Abstract: An optical pickup actuator has an objective lens holder which holds an objective lens and on which at least tracking coils and a focusing coil are mounted and a damper base for swingably supporting the objective lens holder via six suspension wires. The damper base includes supporting portions for supporting ends of the six suspension wires using adhesive agent. At the supporting portions side, the optical pickup actuator has an ACT flexible printed wiring board which is electrically connected to the ends of the six suspension wires. A reinforcing plate having a thickness of 0.5 mm lies between the ACT flexible printed wiring board and the supporting portions to set a gap between the ACT flexible printed wiring board and the supporting portions.

Abstract: In order to fix a photodetector to an optical base with the photodetector held, a PD holder has a pair of engaging slots at which the PD holder is sandwiched between a pair of adjustment pints at both ends thereof and a pair of concave portions which are formed in a rear surface of the PD holder at both ends thereof and at which an adhesive is applied. The PD holder includes a substantially rectangular plate-shaped base extending in parallel with a plane defined by an X-axis direction and a Y-axis direction and a pair of protrusion portions extending forwards at both sides in the X-axis direction of the plate-shaped base. The pair of engaging slots are formed in the pair of protrusion portions and the pair of concave portions are formed in the rear surface of the pair of protrusion portions.

Abstract: A battery module comprises at least one battery, and one or more memory sections for memorizing management information of the at least one battery at cutting operation of connection, when a connection between the at least one battery and at least one external device is cut, and the at least one battery and the memory sections are structured as one body.
