Patent number: 8502863Abstract: A cut-out process of image corresponding to an amount of optical axis deviation of left and right imaging optical systems is applied to left and right images acquired by the left and right imaging units to correct an optical axis deviation. In this case, the amount of optical axis deviation corresponding to a current focus position is acquired from the amounts of optical axis deviation detected in accordance with focus positions stored in advance in a storage unit (step S38). A cut-out process of image for stereoscopic display is applied to the left and right images based on the acquired amount of optical axis deviation (step S40). As a result, the optical axis deviation of the left and right imaging optical systems can be excellently corrected regardless of the focus position (subject distance).Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Kenji Hoshino

Patent number: 8363091Abstract: Distortion correction with different correction accuracy is performed on images acquired in accordance with an image pick-up mode for a 3D moving image, a 3D still image, and the like, and an image cut-out process corresponding to an optical axis deviation amount of each of right and left photographing optical systems is also performed thereon, whereby optical axis deviation is corrected. In this case, an optical axis deviation amount corresponding to a current image pick-up mode is read out from among optical axis deviation amounts after distortion correction, the optical axis deviation amounts being stored in advance into an EEPROM at the time of adjustment before shipment and corresponding to respective image pick-up modes. Distortion correction corresponding to the current image pick-up mode is performed on right and left images acquired in accordance with the current image pick-up mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Kenji Hoshino

Patent number: 6464739Abstract: An anode for an electrolytic capacitor includes a porous body having micropores that include a dielectric layer filled thereon and an electrolyte filled therein. The porous body includes a laminate of a plurality of sinter layers having the micropores formed from valve metal particles. The laminate includes alternating smaller micropore-size regions and larger micropore-size regions, which form electric conductive passages between the smaller micropore-size regions and side surfaces of the porous body. This structure reduces resistance of the capacitor and also increases capacitance by effectively utilizing the capacitance of the smaller micropore-size regions. The porous body is formed by stacking a plurality of porous preforms, such as sheets preformed of valve metal powder, into a laminate, and then sintering the laminate. The porous body may be joined with a valve metal substrate during sintering, thereby completing the anode for an electrolytic capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2001Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsunenori Yoshida, Kenji Hoshino, Masakazu Tanahashi, Yoshihiro Higuchi
