Publication number: 20090219041Abstract: A water content detection sensor includes a circuit member in which low resistance conductors 1,2 disposed in parallel to each other and a high resistance conductor 3 connecting end portions of the respective low resistance conductors, a carrier body 4 having a water-proof property and an insulating property, and a coating body 5 having a water-proof property and an insulating property, the circuit portion being disposed between the carrier body and the coating body. A plurality of exposure holes 6 are formed to the carrier body or the coating body so as to expose the low resistance conductors at plural portions, and when water content adheres between the exposure holes and the low resistance conductors are then short-circuited in a current conduction state, a current value is made larger than that before the adhesion of the water content. When a small current passes, it is judged that the circuit is normal, and on the other hand, a large current passes, it is judged that water is generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2006Publication date: September 3, 2009Inventors: Ichiro Wada, Miou Suzuki, Kiyoshi Toda, Yuichi Hirai, Masaho Hayashi, Hiroshi Uematsu, Toshihiko Uenishi

Patent number: 7202895Abstract: A sensor including an image pickup element provided with arrangement of a plurality of pixels, each including a plurality of photoelectric conversion portions in a depth direction of a semiconductor, outputs each color component from the same pixel position so that the color components are not extracted separately but extracted as a component different from an ordinary color signal, and this causes an image quality deterioration. The sensor of the present invention, however, is arranged to perform color correction of the signals of the plurality of pixels output from the image pickup element by using different color correction coefficients, respectively, thereby obtaining a high quality image, and to perform appropriate color correction corresponding to color temperature by discriminating an appropriate color correction coefficient to be used for the color correction in accordance with the color temperature detected by an external color temperature sensor at the time of photographing.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2003Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yuichi Hirai
