Abstract: [Problem] A method by which a flame proofing property can easily be provided to polyester fiber having long-term stable color and excellent mechanical properties, particularly, a resin composition and a flame proofing method needed for flame retardant spun-dyed polyester fiber which is excellent in light resistance and durability, and is capable of coloring any of various colors, and also, is environment-friendly, are strongly desired. ?Solution? There is provided a flame retardant spun-dyed polyester fiber obtained by melt-spinning a flame retardant polyester resin composition comprising a flame retardant comprising at least one inorganic phosphorus-nitrogen based compound selected from the group consisting of ammonium polyphosphate, melamine polyphosphate and phosphazenes; colorant; and thermoplastic polyester resin, characterized in that content of said inorganic phosphorus-nitrogen based compound is 0.1 to 12% by mass, content of said colorant is 0.

Abstract: An image pick-up device includes a camera body; a lens barrel mounted to the camera body; a pop-up type flash device that is retracted in the camera body when not in use and projected from the camera body when in use; and a structure including a gripping surface provided by one side surface of the camera body and an open portion provided in a given surface that extends between a front end of the gripping surface and a front part of the lens barrel. The flash device is retracted in the camera body through the open portion when not in use and projected sideward to the outside of the camera body through the open portion when in use.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus has a grip portion, a camera portion, and a monitor portion for displaying an image captured by the camera portion. The camera portion has an imaging optical system and an imaging device for capturing the image of a subject guided by the imaging optical system. The grip portion has a grip casing resembling a flat plate. The casing has a width greater than its thickness and a length greater than the width. The camera portion is connected to a longitudinal end of the grip casing rotatably about a first axis extending along the width. The monitor portion is connected to the camera portion so as to be rotatable together with the camera portion about the first axis and is connected rotatably about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The imaging optical system of the camera portion has an optical axis located on the first axis.

Abstract: A sensor unit includes a unit main body mounted on a throttle device, and a pressure sensor chamber that is provided at the unit main body and that accommodates an intake pressure sensor to detect an intake pressure through an intake pipe. The pressure sensor chamber is divided by a partition into a pressure receiving area to receive a pressure in the intake pipe and a pressure detecting area to detect the pressure by the intake pressure sensor, such that the pressure receiving area communicates with the pressure detecting area through a communication portion. A foreign substance is prevented from flowing into the intake pressure sensor when guiding air in the intake pipe to the intake pressure sensor, thereby improving detection accuracy by the intake pressure sensor.

Abstract: An image capture apparatus includes an outer housing, a capturing lens, a slide cover, and a grip projection portion. The capturing lens is disposed on a front face of the outer housing. The slide cover is slidable relative to the outer housing between a closed position covering the capturing lens and an open position uncovering the capturing lens. The grip projection portion projects from the outer housing and includes a finger placing portion that allows a user to place fingers of a user. The finger placing portion is positioned frontwardly of the slide cover.
