  • Patent number: 12010417
    Abstract: A camera module and a terminal device are disclosed. The camera module includes a support mechanism, a filter and a sensor disposed corresponding to the filter, where the support mechanism includes substrates, support frames and buffers, the support frames each are disposed on the substrate, an edge of the filter is fixed on the support frame, and the buffers each are disposed between the substrate and the support frame. In this way, even if a suspended area of the filter increases relative to the sensor and shaking moment of the filter acting on the support frame increases, the support frame does not shake significantly relative to the substrate, and can keep its own stability under effective support by the buffer, which significantly reduces a probability of collision between the support frame and the filter, thereby ensuring assembly stability and integrity of the filter when the suspended area increases.

  • Patent number: 12008260
    Abstract: A storage device includes a controller and a memory. A method of storage space management for the storage device is executed to perform steps as below. The controller calculates an expectedly used capacity and an effective capacity of the memory. The controller determines whether blocks of the memory include one or more blocks that are non-bad blocks and are prohibited from reading/writing. When the one or more blocks are determined to be non-bad blocks and to be prohibited from reading/writing, the controller marks each of the one or more blocks as a restricted block other than a bad block, thereby maintaining the effective capacity to be unchanged. The controller compares difference of the effective capacity and a total capacity of the one or more blocks that are marked as the restricted block to the expectedly used capacity to determine whether to prohibit programming to the memory.
