  • Patent number: 7646402
    Abstract: Shooting is performed upon full depression of a shutter button, and a taken image is recorded in a memory card as an image file. An LCD displays the taken image and a print number thereof. The print number is adjusted by pressing addition and subtraction buttons. Upon pressing a decision button, number data of the print number is inputted. The number data is recorded in the memory card so as to relate to the image file. Incidentally, in case the shutter button is pressed by half without inputting the number data, the print number is set to one, and next shooting is allowed. The above operation is repeated until entire shooting is completed.

  • Publication number: 20090126976
    Abstract: A flexible wiring board is formed with a first mounting surface, a first erected surface portion, a relay portion, a second erected surface portion and a second mounting surface. The first erected surface portion and the second erected surface portion are positioned on the same plane. The second mounting surface is fixed. When the first mounting surface is moved in the X-axis direction, the force in the X-axis direction acts on the relay portion as a force from a direction outside of the plane since the first erected surface portion and the second erected surface portion are positioned on the same plane. Therefore, the relay portion is bent and a suppressed reaction force acts on the first mounting surface and on the second mounting surface.

  • Patent number: 7082263
    Abstract: A flash device for a lens-fitted photo film unit pre-loaded with unexposed photo film is provided. A main capacitor stores charge. A flash emitter emits flash light. A flash circuit board charges the main capacitor, and drives the flash emitter by discharging the main capacitor in response to an exposing operation. A tightly closed flash case is secured to the lens-fitted photo film unit, for containing the main capacitor, the flash emitter and the flash circuit board. Also, the lens-fitted photo film unit includes a sync switch for generating a trigger signal in response to the exposing operation. Two switch contact points are disposed outside the flash case, for receiving the trigger signal from the sync switch. The two switch contact points disable discharge of the main capacitor while the flash case is away from the lens-fitted photo film unit, and are short-circuited for discharge of the main capacitor upon supply of the trigger signal while the flash case is secured to the lens-fitted photo film unit.

  • Patent number: 4868403
    Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting the surface of web material moving lengthwise at a constant speed by scanning the surface in the direction of the width of the surface with a light beam. The scanned beam modulated by the surface is received and converted into an electric signal which is divided into division signals representing divisions of the width of the web. A first memory capability is provided for storing division signals added together by division every N transverse scans. The added division signals are transferred to a second memory capability by division, for evaluating the surface defect distribution of the scanned surface division by division.

  • Patent number: 4791304
    Abstract: A method of scanning a web material and an apparatus for use in the method in which a web material is spatially divided into smaller divisions in a scanning direction while being scanned in the direction of a width thereof with a scanning beam moved by means of a polyhedral mirror with a constant speed of rotation. Clock pulses from a pulse generator are counted up by a counter to access division data in a storing means to provide division signals according to which the width of the web material is spatially divided in the scanning direction.
