Patent number: 10674893Abstract: An overtube, which is punctured into a body wall and guides an endoscope and a treatment tool into a body cavity, includes an interlocking member that interlocks the forward and backward movements of the endoscope and the treatment tool with each other. The interlocking member is constituted of a first sleeve coupled to the endoscope, a second sleeve coupled to the treatment tool, and a coupling member having an elastic body, which couples the first sleeve and the second sleeve together. Accordingly, in a case where the stretching of the coupling member is small, the endoscope interlocks with the forward and backward movement of the treatment tool at a slow response, and in a case where the stretching of the coupling member is large, the endoscope interlock with the forward and backward movement of a treatment tool at a quick response.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Kimiaki Nakada, Takumi Dejima, Masayuki Iwasaka

Patent number: 10542869Abstract: Provided are an endoscopic surgical device and a guide device that can satisfy the function of interlocking two medical instruments with each other. An overtube, which is punctured into a body wall and guides an endoscope and a treatment tool into a body cavity, includes an interlocking member that interlocks the forward and backward movements of the endoscope and the treatment tool with each other. The interlocking member is constituted of a first sleeve coupled to the endoscope, a second sleeve coupled to the treatment tool, and a corded flexible coupling member that couples the first sleeve and the second sleeve together. Accordingly, when the coupling member is in a relaxed state, the endoscope and the treatment tool independently move forward and backward, and when the coupling member is in a tensioned state, the endoscope and the treatment tool move forward and backward in an interlocking manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventors: Kimiaki Nakada, Takumi Dejima, Masayuki Iwasaka

Patent number: 7710489Abstract: An image reproducing device that displays frames or index images of still images and moving images so that a user can distinguish the still images from the moving images when looking at them in one-frame reproducing or index reproducing. The display style of the still images is different from that of frames of the moving images For example, each still image has a white frame like a picture, and a frame of each moving image has perforations like a movie film. Therefore, the user can distinguish the still images from the moving images when looking at them.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2006Date of Patent: May 4, 2010Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Takeshi Misawa, Kimiaki Nakada, Toshita Hara

Patent number: 7667768Abstract: An image-capturing apparatus is capable of capturing a three-dimensional image and a high quality panoramic image as the need arises, and is portable if it is used as a single lens camera that captures a normal two-dimensional image. A second image-capturing unit having an image-capturing optical system is detachably connected to a first image-capturing unit, which is capable of functioning as an image-capturing apparatus by itself, through joints and a connector. The second image-capturing unit can extensively connect to other units, which have the similar connecting structure. Information is transmitted between the units through a slot for an external storage device. There is provided a means for adjusting the positions of images captured by the second and subsequent image-capturing units with respect to an image captured by the first image-capturing unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Masaaki Orimoto, Takeshi Misawa, Akihisa Yamazaki, Takashi Yano, Kimiaki Nakada

Patent number: 7457479Abstract: To provide an image playback apparatus that enables an image picked up and recorded with a wide dynamic range to be changed to the exposure desired by a viewer. An apparatus that performs image playback by outputting, to a monitor or printer, image data stored in an image storage unit such as built-in memory or a memory card, is equipped with a line-of-sight detection apparatus that detects the line-of-sight direction of the person viewing the image, or a touch panel, and is configured so that the area looked at by the viewer is automatically detected, or an arbitrary part of the screen can be specified by the viewer himself or herself from the touch panel. At first, conventional dynamic range playback is performed, then the dynamic range is changed, by changing the tone conversion curve, etc., for the part where the line-of-sight was detected within the screen, or the part specified by means of the touch panel, and a white-skip part or blackening part is reproduced appropriately.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2000Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Tetsuro Ashida, Kimiaki Nakada

Patent number: 7084902Abstract: When an image is played back on a liquid crystal cell, an auxiliary lamp is turned on. In this way, a displayed image can easily be confirmed. If an image frame forward switch is not turned on after the auxiliary lamp is turned on, the auxiliary lamp is turned off. In this way, unnecessary lighting of the auxiliary lamp can be prevented, and an amount of electric power consumed can be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1999Date of Patent: August 1, 2006Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takashi Nakayama, Kimiaki Nakada

Publication number: 20020021903Abstract: A digital camera is provided with a wireless communication part having an image transmitting function, and an external apparatus (e.g. a personal computer) is also provided with a wireless communication part of the same type. When the camera comes close to the external apparatus which is associated with the camera, the external apparatus enables the camera to operate via a wireless communication. The camera transfers a newly taken image to the external apparatus via the wireless communication, and the contents of the transferred data is at that point encoded based on identification data of a correspondence to be communicated with. The received image can be viewed at the side of the external apparatus, and at the same time forwarding a page of viewed images, enlargement of display, deletion of an image, and so forth, can be remotely controlled by an operating part of a body of the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2001Publication date: February 21, 2002Inventors: Daisuke Ito, Yoshio Nakane, Kimiaki Nakada
