  • Patent number: 11778312
    Abstract: An image capture system that can ensure the rigidity and heat dissipation performance of an external connection apparatus, and also has excellent wireless communication performance. An image capture apparatus includes a first wireless communication section. An external connection apparatus includes a second wireless communication section. The second wireless communication section performs wireless communication with the first wireless communication section. The external connection apparatus is removably attached to the image capture apparatus. The first wireless communication section is disposed toward an attachment surface of the image capture apparatus to which the external connection apparatus is attached, with respect to the photographing optical axis. In a state in which the external connection apparatus is attached to the image capture apparatus, the two wireless communication sections are opposed to each other in a direction orthogonal to a direction of attaching the apparatuses to each other.

  • Patent number: 11606487
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a substrate having a first surface on which a semiconductor element is mounted and a holding member configured to adhere to a second surface of the substrate which is a surface opposite to the first surface and to hold the substrate. The second surface of the substrate includes a first region to which the holding member is fixed via an adhesive, a second region in which a conductive portion that conducts heat of the semiconductor element from the first surface to the second surface of the substrate is disposed, and a third region at which a portion of the holding member and the substrate come into contact with each other. The second region is provided between the first region and the third region in a plane direction of the second surface.

  • Patent number: 11074359
    Abstract: A mapping between private information to be protected and identifier information for an object is recorded. The object is detected by analyzing sensor data received from a sensor device within a private computer network, in which the object has one or more attributes associated therewith. An analysis report is generated about the object by excluding the private information from the analysis report based on the mapping, in which the analysis report includes a non-private part of the one or more attributes. The analysis report is transmitted to a remote computer system located outside the private computer network without the private information.

  • Patent number: 10992632
    Abstract: Evaluating messaging content on a computer-based communications network includes classifying, using computer hardware, a response to a message previously rated by a user. The message, the response to the message, and the rating by the user can each be provided on the computer-based communications network. Evaluating messaging content also includes automatically changing, with the computer hardware, the rating of the message when the classifying of the response results in a classification that satisfies a predefined rating change condition.

  • Patent number: 8752246
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus excellent in workability in mounting a lid to an apparatus housing. The electronic apparatus comprises a housing having a pair of bearing portions, and a battery lid unit having a pair of shafts for being rotatably fitted in the bearing portions, respectively. A movable shaft of the shafts is axially retractable, and the battery lid unit is openable and closable with respect to the housing about the shafts. An urging spring has a contact portion for contact with the housing, and urges the battery lid unit in an opening direction with respect to the housing. The contact portion is moved according to retraction of the movable shaft such that an urging range through which the urging member urges the lid in the opening direction becomes smaller than a range of the pivotal motion of the lid with respect to the housing.

  • Patent number: 8052527
    Abstract: A plurality of first missions (mission A (M 1A), mission B (M1B), and mission C (M1C)) are set corresponding to different battle areas in a game space 2. The operations of NPCs are automatically controlled so that friend NPCs 8 and enemy NPCs 9 involved in each first mission simultaneously fight a battle in parallel. A player character 6 is automatically determined to have participated in the first mission for which the player character 6 has approached the battle area or the first mission in which the enemy NPC 9 which has been shot down by the player character 6 is involved, and individual mission support contribution points Pa, Pb, Pc, and total support contribution points Pt are increased when the player character 6 has shot down the enemy NPC 9. When the player has performed a support request operation input, the total support contribution points Pt are decreased by given points.

  • Patent number: 7194509
    Abstract: A collaboration client's behavior is changed according to context while collaborating on an internet. An HTTP request from a customer-side browser is sent to a web server via an information terminal support server. The web server then sends context in response to the request to the customer-side web browser via the information terminal support server. The information terminal support server then checks the contents of the context, and when it is determined that there is agreement with a predetermined condition, a command is inserted into the context. Context without the command inserted is sent to the customer-side web browser, and context with the command inserted is sent to the agent-side web browser. A client program of the agent-side information terminal then reads the embedded command using an API possessed by a web browser and carries out processing in order to prohibit form submission and form alteration and conceal specific forms or fields in accordance with the contents of this command.
