  • Patent number: 10440936
    Abstract: A livestock registration system according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an image data acquisition unit, a signal acquisition unit, and a registration unit. The image data acquisition unit acquires image data obtained by capturing an image of a target livestock animal. The signal acquisition unit acquires an individual identification signal transmitted from a transmission apparatus attached to the target livestock animal, the individual identification signal including an identifier for identifying the target livestock animal. The registration unit registers the identifier of the individual identification signal and the image data in association with each other, the identifier of the individual identification signal being received at a reception timing corresponding to a timing at which the image of the target livestock animal is captured.

  • Patent number: 8409748
    Abstract: A battery and an electronic apparatus are disclosed by which it can be discriminated with a simple configuration whether or not the battery is of a thin type. The battery is configured such that a wall portion for discrimination of a battery characteristic which is swollen in a lengthwise direction and connects to a connector section is formed at a location of one of end faces positioned rather near to an end portion in a widthwise direction of a case of the battery.

  • Patent number: 6972925
    Abstract: A video camera having a camera body unit including a lens, a view finder, and a group of operation buttons. Also included is a battery housing unit that can function as a grip unit and that is provided to be rotatable in a vertical direction to one side of the camera body unit through a rotational axis and that is equipped with a lock mechanism so as to be maintained in a lock state at a preset position. In this way the camera body unit can be miniaturized to be convenient for carrying, and further the battery housing unit can be used as the grip unit, so that it is possible to improve the operability without destroying the design.

  • Publication number: 20040169955
    Abstract: A camcorder capable of reducing the size of a camera body part and, even if the surface area thereof is reduced by downsizing, capable of improving operability by efficiently disposing devices. A magnetic recording/reproducing device, comprising at least the camera body part having lenses, a view finder, and an operating button group and a grip part openably or rotatably fitted to the camera body part and commonly used as a battery storage part, the battery storage part further comprising a lock mechanism installed on one side surface of the camera body part rotatably along the vertical plane thereof through a rotating shaft and maintained in locked state at a set position, whereby since the camera body part can be further downsized for convenient portability and the battery storage part can be used as the grip part, the operability can be improved by efficiently disposing the devices without providing design restrictions even if the camera body part is downsized.
