Abstract: An imaging apparatus including a main unit, a grip, and an arm. The main unit includes an imaging device and imaging lens. The grip is configured to be gripped by a user. The arm includes a first attaching portion and a second attaching portion. The grip is attached to the first attaching portion, and the second attaching portion is attached to the main unit of the imaging apparatus. A position of the grip is adjustable, with respect to the main unit, about the second attaching portion. Further, an orientation of the grip is adjustable, with respect to the main unit, about the first attaching portion of the arm.

Abstract: A duct 45 is tubular and has one opening 451 that is mounted in a position to face an inlet port provided in one side of an apparatus body and the other opening 452 that is mounted in a position to face an exhaust port provided in the other side of the apparatus body. In a tubular interior of the duct 45, a fan 43 and a radiating fin 42 are provided. The fan 43 causes outside air to flow in from the inlet port for discharge from the exhaust port, and heat caused inside the apparatus body is transmitted by a heat transfer unit to the radiating fin 42. The outside air is applied to the radiating fin 42 by the fan 43, whereby the heat caused inside the apparatus body can be discharged efficiently.

Abstract: The invention consists of a chromium electroplating solution comprising a chromium electroplating solution comprising: (1) a water soluble trivalent chromium salt; (2) at least one complexant for trivalent chromium ions; (3) a source of hydrogen ions sufficient to create a pH of from 2.8-4.2; (4) a pH buffering compound; and (5) a sulfur-containing organic compound. The chromium electroplating solution is usable in a method for producing an adherent metallic coating on a decorative article, such coating having enhanced resistance to corrosion in environments containing calcium chloride.

Abstract: An aqueous trivalent chromium electrolyte comprising trivalent chromium ions and amino acids that allow for producing a dark colored hue in the trivalent chromium coating which is plated on a substrate. The amino acids described herein comprise a cationic side chain and are at least essentially free of sulfur. The cationic side chain of the amino acid further comprises nitrogen. When used in the trivalent chromium electrolyte, these amino acids allow for producing significantly darker trivalent chromium deposits. The trivalent chromium electrolyte is used in a method for producing the desired dark colored hue in the trivalent chromium coating that is produced on a substrate using electrodeposition.

Abstract: A document retrieving method in a document management system which manages documents, using a computer. The classification of documents is managed in accordance with a plurality of node trees constructed in a hierarchical structure. Each document is related to at least one node among a plurality of nodes in the node trees. In retrieval, an OR merge operation is performed on documents related to all the nodes ranging from the target node and extending through all lower nodes linked directly and indirectly to the target mode of a designated node tree to form a collection of documents. When a different node tree is designated, a similar OR operation is performed on documents related to all the nodes ranging from the target node to lower nodes linked directly and indirectly to the target node to create another collection of documents. These steps are repeated and an AND-marge operation is performed on the obtained collections of documents to create and output a final collection of documents.
