  • Optical device stabilizer
    Patent number: 8089694
    Abstract: A stabilizer for an optical device that forms part of an electronic device may include a platform that has an optical device mounted thereon. A gimbal mount may retain the platform so that the platform is pivotal about a first axis and the gimbal mount being further pivotal about a second axis so that the optical device is pivotal about both the first and second axes. A first actuator may be controlled to manage movement of the optical device about the first axis and a second actuator may be controlled to manage movement of the optical device about the second axis.

  • DIGITAL CAMERAS WITH TRIANGULATION AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20110242402
    Abstract: Digital cameras with triangulation auto focus systems include a spot beam emitter than can be used to project a spot onto a subject that is captured in an image and used to electronically automatically determine a subject to camera distance.

  • Autofocus assembly that adjusts a lens in the optical axis direction by alignment of holes in a spacing ring that receive ball bearings
    Patent number: 7656460
    Abstract: A camera assembly may include an autofocus assembly that selectively imparts a first displacement between a lens assembly and an imaging sensor and a second displacement between the lens assembly and the imaging sensor. The autofocus assembly includes at least one positioner and an actuator. The actuator is configured to move the positioner between a first position in which the positioner contacts a first surface that is in a first plane corresponding to the first displacement and second position in which the positioner contacts a second surface that is in a second plane corresponding to the second displacement. The first and second planes may be offset so that a distance between the first displacement and the second displacement directly corresponds to a distance between the first and second planes.
