  • Patent number: 11968466
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device, a method for driving a solid-state imaging device, and an electronic apparatus are provided that are capable of reducing memory circuits of a column reading system, so that the column reading system can achieve a reduced layout area and eventually a reduced size. A column reading circuit includes an AD converting part and a calculating part. The AD converting part is configured to analog-to-digital convert a read-out reset signal and a read-out signal of a pixel signal read to a vertical signal line into an n-bit digital pixel signal. The calculating part includes an n-bit asynchronous counter including a retention circuit with a control logic function, which is configured to obtain a difference between an n-bit read-out reset signal and an n-bit read-out signal produced by the AD conversion performed by the AD converting part.

  • Publication number: 20170340115
    Abstract: Providing an overturn preventing device which can easily be mounted and can prevent articles from overturn. The overturn preventing device includes an abutting part and a connecting part. The abutting part abuts against a ceiling. The abutting part is disposed so as to extend in one direction while gradually departing from the ceiling. The connecting part has two ends one of which is connected to an end of the abutting part away from the ceiling and the other of which is disposed on a top surface of a piece of furniture. The abutting part is elastically deformed with tilt of the furniture, so that an area of a part of the abutting part abutting against the ceiling is increased.

  • Publication number: 20170284087
    Abstract: Providing an overturn preventing device which is easy in handling such as carrying. The overturn preventing device includes a damper, a first base portion, a second base portion and a connecting tool. The damper is mounted between a top surface of furniture and a ceiling. An expansion force of compressed gas filling a cylinder is applied to the damper in a direction such that a length of the damper is increased. The first base portion is rotatably connected to one of two ends of the damper and has a first abutting surface which abuts against the top surface of the furniture. The second base portion is rotatably connected to the other end of the damper and has a second abutting surface which abuts against the ceiling. The connecting tool maintains a folded state in which the damper is contracted so that the first base portion and the second base portion come close to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170251811
    Abstract: Providing an overturn preventing device which can be mounted to an article such as furniture irrespective of an installation location of the article and which can prevent the article from being overturned by quakes of an earthquake or the like. The overturn preventing device includes a plurality of dampers mounted between a top surface of the furniture installed on a floor surface and a ceiling. The dampers are compression damper that has a smaller damping force generated during an extending operation than a damping force generated during a compressing operation. The dampers have respective axis lines extending from a ceiling side to the top surface side of the furniture, and the axis lines are downwardly inclined and extend in a plurality of directions in a planar view as viewed from above when the dampers are mounted between the top surface of the furniture and the ceiling.
