Abstract: An object determining apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to detect an object from image data obtained by imaging, acquire information about orientation of the object from the image data, determine a main object in the image data using a detection result of the object and the information about the orientation, and change a condition for determining the main object according to one of the detection result of the object and the information about the orientation, using the other of the detection result of the object and the information about the orientation.

Abstract: An apparatus configured to perform focus tracking on an object within a detection area to detect a defocus amount within an imaging angle of view includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform focus tracking determination to determine whether or not the focus tracking is to be performed using information about the defocus amount, and acquire information about a shield against the object from image data generated by imaging. The processor is configured to perform the focus tracking determination using information about the shield acquired in the detection area.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus detects a subject area from an image that has been shot and enlarges a focus detection area in a case where the subject area is not detected or a reliability that the detected subject area corresponds to an intended subject is determined to be low. The image capture apparatus enlarges the focus detection area based on the distances previously obtained by the obtainment unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus detects, from an image, a subject(s) of a first type and a subject(s) of a second type. The apparatus further detects a posture for each of the subject(s) of the first type. The apparatus then obtains, for each of the subject(s) of the first type, reliability that the subject is a main subject, based on the posture, and obtains a focus condition for each of the subject(s) of the first type and each of the subject(s) of the second type. The apparatus determines, based on the reliability and the focus condition, a main subject from the subject(s) of the first type and the subject(s) of the second type detected from the image.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus comprises an imaging unit, a sensor unit, a first focus detection unit configured to detect a first in-focus position based on a pair of image signals, a second focus detection unit configured to detect a second in-focus position based on a signal output from the imaging unit, a control unit configured to control a position of the focus lens and control display indicating the focus detection areas, and a correction unit configured to acquire a correction amount for correcting the first in-focus position, wherein the correction unit determines a first focus detection area from which the correction amount is to be acquired while the focus lens is moved to the second in-focus position, and wherein the control unit controls the first focus detection area to be identifiable.

Abstract: An ionization smoke detector of the present invention has an annular engaging flange portion formed integrally on the periphery of an insulating board and an engaging groove formed on a cover, so that a circuitry-accommodating portion may be moisture- and gas-tightly sealed merely by inserting the flange portion into the groove, without using special sealing members such as ruber packing members.In an intermediate electrode mounting structure of the present invention, support legs are formed integrally on the periphery of the intermediate electrode which may be simply inserted into an opening of the insulating board to fix and support the intermediate electrode, without using screws etc. Thus, a space needed to mount the intermediate electrode can be minimized. An electrode lead is connected to a lead of an FET insulatedly potted at an appropriate place on the backside of the insulating board with a hot melt synthetic resin.

Abstract: An ionization smoke detector of the present invention comprises an outer electrode having a plurality of smoke inlets formed on a side wall thereof, an outer cover and a partition wall having a plurality of smoke inlets disposed between the outer electrode and the outer cover to form a triple wall structure. The smoke inlets formed on the outer cover, the partition wall and the outer electrode are staggered from each other. Air stream hitting against the detector is attenuated by the triple wall structure and generally half of the air flow is allowed to pass between the outer cover and the outer electrode and between the partition wall and the outer electrode, flowing out of the detector and the remaining half of the air flow is led into the detector through the smoke inlets.

Abstract: A thermal transfer recording ink composition comprises a resin having a melting point according to JIS-K0064 of 55.degree. to 110.degree. C. and a solidification point according to JIS-K0064 being at least 50.degree. C. lower than the melting point, resin particles having a size of 0.05 to 2.0 microns and a coloring matter. It is coated on film and used repeatedly.
