  • Patent number: 9215971
    Abstract: An insertion portion includes a holding member that holds an observation portion, and a tubular bending portion. A small-diameter portion of the holding member is fitted into an inside surface of a distal end side portion of the bending portion. A hole portion is provided in the bending portion. A concave portion is provided at the small-diameter portion. A screw member penetrates the hole portion by screw-fastening, and a distal end side thereof is housed in the concave portion. A diameter of the concave portion is larger than an outside diameter of the screw member. A length obtained by adding a depth of the concave portion and a thickness of the distal end side portion of the bending portion is greater than an axial direction length of the screw member. The screw member is held in a non-contacting state with respect to the concave portion in the hole portion.

  • Patent number: 7394408
    Abstract: A data compression system enables user-level applications to compress and decompress files to save storage space even for user-level applications that are not modified to use compressed files. User preferences associated with a user terminal are established for the compression of data, e.g. video data, wherein the user preferences comprise selective enablement of compression for at least one file type. An exemplary system determines the type of a digital data file, e.g. a digital video data file, being output from an application or input to an application, and performs transparent file-type-based compression or decompression of the digital data file, if enabled by the established user preferences. Files of the selected file types are stored with compressed formats and may even have different names, but are shown to user-level applications to have the same file names and file sizes as original uncompressed files. Therefore, the existing applications can perform operations without any disruptions.
