  • Patent number: 11657477
    Abstract: An image processing device, an image processing system, an imaging device, an image processing method, and a recording medium storing program code. The image processing device includes a receiver configured to receive a first image and a second image, a memory configured to store a joining position at each one of a plurality of portions between the first image and the second image received by the receiver, and circuitry configured to evaluate, for each of the plurality of portions, validity of the joining position in a past stored in the memory, and generate a composite image based on the first image and the second image received by the receiver and the joining position in the past stored in the memory on a site where the validity meets a criterion. The method includes reading a past joining position at each one of a plurality of portions between a pair of images.

  • Patent number: 11469558
    Abstract: A connector is mateable with a mating connector along a front-rear direction. The connector comprises a first sub connector and a second sub connector. The first sub connector and the second sub connector are mateable with each other in a direction intersecting with the front-rear direction. The first sub connector comprises a first holding member and a plurality of first terminals. The second sub connector comprises a second holding member and a plurality of second terminals. The second terminals are arranged in two rows. Each of the second terminals has a second contact point and an SMT portion. The SMT portion is configured to be fixed on a circuit board. The SMT portion of the second terminal of one of the two rows extends in an orientation opposite to an orientation in which the SMT portion of the second terminal of a remaining one of the two rows extends.
