Abstract: A technique enhances security measures in the IoT by reducing leakage of private images and degraded security due to unauthorized image capturing, eliminates the possibility that an unintended image is captured and stored, and also shows people around the user that the camera function of an electronic device is not working. A camera module shielding mechanism for shielding a camera module by retracting the camera module into a housing of an electronic device includes a support member supporting the camera module, a slide support supporting the support member in a slidable manner, an urging member that urges the support member in a direction in which the camera module protrudes from the housing, a locking member that locks the support member with the camera module retracted in the housing, and an actuator that unlocks the locking member.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a novel functional polyorganosiloxane having on average two or more vinyl groups in one molecule thereof. The polyorganosiloxane is represented by the following formula (I): (R23SiO1/2)a(Ph2SiO2/2)b(R1SiO3/2)c(PhSiO3/2)d(R1R2SiO2/2)e??(I) (wherein “a” to “e” represent compositional proportions by mole, satisfying the conditions: 0.15?a?0.4, 0.1?b?0.2, 0.15?c?0.4, 0.2?d?0.4, 0?e?0.2, and “a+b+c+d+e”=1; R1 represents a vinyl group; R2 represents a methyl group or a phenyl group; and Ph denotes a phenyl group) and is produced through polycondensation of an alkoxysilane mixture in the presence of an active solvent. The present invention also relates to a curable resin composition containing the polyorganosiloxane, which composition is suitably employed for encapsulating optical devices such as LEDs, photo-sensors, and lasers as well as optical materials.

Abstract: The camera shutter unit of the present invention is provided with a diaphragm blade arranged to be capable of moving between a stopping-down position wherein an aperture is stopped down, and an evacuating position wherein the aperture is opened. A shutter blade is arranged to be capable of moving between an opening position, wherein the aperture is opened, and a closing position, wherein the aperture is closed. A drive-control mechanism is provided for drive-controlling the shutter blade and the diaphragm blade. The drive-control mechanism has a single electromagnetic drive source, and a spring for restricting movement of the shutter blade toward the closing position when the diaphragm blade is positioned in the stopping-down position, and for releasing its restriction by a predetermined or more drive force generated by the electromagnetic drive source. Therefore, the unit can be of a small size and low in cost, and its reliability of function can be improved.

Abstract: In a camera shutter apparatus, a shutter blade is arranged movably In an open direction and a close direction relative to a lens aperture for opening and closing the lens aperture from a home position to perform an exposure operation. A setting member is provided to operate when setting the lens aperture at a predetermined diameter for holding the shutter blade to a stop position corresponding to the predetermined diameter with a biasing force. A drive source is provided for generating a driving force necessary for moving the shutter blade. A controller is provided to operate when moving the shutter blade from the home position to the stop position so as to set the lens aperture and then moving the shutter blade in the close direction for an exposure operation.
