  • Patent number: 8433185
    Abstract: A multiple anti-shake system and a method thereof applied to a camera device. The system comprises a sensing module, a first anti-shake module and a second anti-shake module. The sensing module detects the vibration signal of the camera device and the first anti-shake module is actuated to perform a first vibration compensation according to the vibration signal, therefrom calculates a residual vibration amount according to said first vibration compensation. The second anti-shake module thereby further performs a second vibration compensation to determine the set parameter of multi-frame blending. Thereby, the user can obtain a clear image by immediately processing a blurred image through a compensation process.

  • Patent number: 6056417
    Abstract: A molded, two-part lamp base receives a press seal of a lamp. Conductor wires from the lamp envelope are folded onto planar regions of the base. A second annular portion of the base is slid along a reduced dimensional region of the first part of the base member to properly position and locate the conductor wires. Once the second portion abuts a shoulder of the first portion, the separate portions of the two part base assembly are fused together to form an integral unit and lock the terminal ends of the conductor wires in place.
