Patent number: 10359861Abstract: A plurality of modules are connected to the front side and back side of an electronic device via corresponding attachment/detachment units. The electronic device includes an orientation detection unit that detects the orientation of the electronic device. Based on a selection of a module to be removed and a touch operation on a touch panel of the electronic device, the selected module is determined to be either on the front side or the back side of the electronic device. When the electronic device is in an orientation suitable for removal of the selected module, the module is disconnected from the electronic device by a corresponding attachment/detachment unit.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Motonari Yamada

Patent number: 8665365Abstract: An image-pickup apparatus includes an image-pickup element, a first wiring substrate where the image-pickup element is mounted, a second wiring substrate which is electrically connected with the first wiring substrate and a structure which has electrical conductivity. The first wiring substrate has a first wiring portion where a differential signal line is formed and a second wiring portion where a power-supply line is formed, a ground portion is formed on at least one surface of the first and second wiring portion which faces each other, the first wiring substrate is bended so that at least parts of the first and second wiring portion are overlapped with each other and the ground portion is located between the differential signal line and the power-supply line, and the bended first wiring substrate is arranged in the structure so that the second wiring portion is located between the first wiring portion and the structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Motonari Yamada

Patent number: 8553102Abstract: An electronic apparatus that can prevent occurrence of crosstalk between different differential signals on a printed circuit board on which a wiring pattern of a differentially operated signal line is formed, and reduce unnecessary radiation noises. First and second wiring patterns are disposed on the printed circuit board and through which differentially operated signals are transmitted, and the first and second wiring patterns are electrically connected to first and second connection terminals, respectively. An electronic component is disposed on the printed circuit board, and includes first and second terminals electrically connected to the first and second wiring patterns, respectively. The first and second terminals of the electronic component are disposed on the printed circuit board, respectively, so that the first and second wiring patterns do not intersect each other.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Motonari Yamada
