Publication number: 20120280447Abstract: A sheet 3 is caught between a clamper 15 and a platen drum 10 at its sheet front end portion. The clamper 15 is provided with a pressing member 32 with elasticity, and the pressing member 32 has two projections 32b. During conveyance, a pressing surface 32a tightly comes into contact with the front end portion of the sheet 3, while each projection 32b is elastically deformed and compressed. When correcting skew of the sheet 3, the clamper 15 is turned, while only the projections 32b press the front end portion of the sheet 3.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2011Publication date: November 8, 2012Applicant: FUJIFILM CORPORATIONInventor: Yasunobu Kayanuma

Patent number: 7719613Abstract: Free setting of the angle or direction of a camera is available while the camera is being inserted into a cradle. A cradle for a digital camera is provided, which is capable of confirming a display screen of the camera, changing the recording medium or battery, or mounting or demounting a communication cable or the like while the camera is being mounted on the cradle without deteriorating the camera holding. The cradle has a structure such that a tripod screw hole is formed on the bottom surface of the cradle, thereby capable of fixing the cradle to a tripod while the digital camera is being inserted into the cradle. By making the height of rubber pads equal or higher than that of a tripod base, the cradle can be stably placed on a desk or the like.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2006Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventor: Yasunobu Kayanuma

Patent number: 7248291Abstract: Even if the digital camera is inexpensive without the function of reproducing images, it can effectively use a memory capacity and has the function of responding to quick image-capturing, and important images can be recorded with higher priority. The digital camera comprises a priority selection switch for selecting priority of an image, and information about selected priority is recorded in association with the image when the image is recorded. For example, priority is ranked on three stages of “important”, “normal”, and “memo”. When a recording medium for storing image data has an insufficient memory capacity, control is exercised such that an image with priority lower than a newly captured image is automatically erased to record the new image. Further, a recorded image may be analyzed to automatically assign a low priority value to an image that may be damaged.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2002Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Fujifilm CorporationInventors: Atsushi Misawa, Yasunobu Kayanuma

Patent number: 7167206Abstract: A cradle is capable of supplementing convenience of a portable information apparatus such as a digital camera of which functions including an image display function and a removable medium are omitted. If the camera is mounted on a camera mounting section of the cradle, a camera connector is electrically connected to a cradle connector in synchronization with a mounting operation thereof. The control circuit contained in the cradle detects a connection of the camera, and automatically starts communication between them. The image stored in the internal memory of the camera is sent to the cradle side, and is displayed on a liquid crystal display.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2002Date of Patent: January 23, 2007Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yasunobu Kayanuma

The image stored in the internal memory of the camera is sent to the cradle side, and is displayed on a liquid crystal display. The user can erase unnecessary images while checking the images. In addition, a variation is also desirable wherein a data storing device such as the removable medium is provided on the cradle side to transfer the image in the camera to the data storing device on the cradle side and then erase the internal memory of the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2006Publication date: January 18, 2007Inventor: Yasunobu Kayanuma

Patent number: 7100859Abstract: A holder device for holding a recording paper roll includes a pair of holders. A first holder has a first fitting portion with an anti-slip device and a first engagement portion. The anti-slip device has two claw members for forward rotation symmetrically disposed each other with respect to a center of rotation of the recording paper roll, two claw members for backward rotation disposed likewise, and springs biasing each claw member to an engagement position. When the first holder rotates in a forward or backward direction, the claw members for forward rotation or for backward rotation move to the engagement positions, respectively, in order to prevent a slip of the recording paper roll. An edge of each claw member is tapered along an attachment direction of the recording paper for easy attachment.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yasunobu Kayanuma, Akimasa Kaya

Patent number: 6549336Abstract: An optical low-pass filter for a solid-state image sensor of an offset sampling structure is constituted of first and second optical members. The first optical member splits an incident light ray into a rectilinear ray and a refracted ray whose propagation direction is about 45° to a horizontal direction of the solid-state image sensor. The second optical member splits an incident ray into a rectilinear ray and a refracted ray whose propagation direction is about 90° to the horizontal direction. The optical low-pass filter having this configuration splits the incident light ray into four rays whose split points are at respective corners of a parallelogram.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaya Tamaru, Kazuya Oda, Takeshi Misawa, Yasunobu Kayanuma, Masaaki Orimoto
