  • Patent number: 7507041
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an imaging device including a battery compartment having an opening for insertion and ejection of a battery, a battery release lever for allowing the insertion of the battery into the battery compartment through the opening and the ejection of the battery from the battery compartment through the opening, and a battery lid for openably closing the opening of the battery compartment. The battery release lever is located adjacent to the battery lid so as not to be substantially covered with the battery lid in its closed condition. Accordingly, the position of the battery release lever can be visually recognized even in the closed condition of the battery lid.

  • Patent number: 6700603
    Abstract: An inspection system for inspecting discrete wiring patterns on a continuous substrate sheet of a flexible material by making the use of the substrate sheet as a feeding carrier. The system is capable of assuring accurate positioning of the wiring patterns (14) for reliable inspection even with the use of the flexible substrate sheet (10) as the sole feeding carrier. The inspection system includes an inspection zone (30) provided with camera (51, 54) for inspecting the individual wiring patterns (14) and detecting a position of said wiring pattern on the substrate sheet. A draw-in roller (31, 32) is provided to introduce the substrate into the inspection zone. Associated with the draw-in roller is a draw-out roller (32, 33) which draws out the substrate sheet from the inspection zone and is positioned to define the inspection zone between the draw-in roller and the draw-out roller as well as to give a tension to the substrate sheet for extending the substrate sheet straight through the inspection zone.
