  • Publication number: 20130314445
    Abstract: A wedge-shaped digital clock wirelessly receives weather, traffic, and other information over the Internet for display along with the time of day. The clock is wedge-shaped so that it can rest in two orientations, one with the display tilted back slightly from vertical and one with the display substantially horizontal. An accelerometer can signal the orientation to an internal processor, which can flip the text on the display as appropriate for the user flipping or turning the housing upside down, for example.

  • Publication number: 20130286303
    Abstract: There is provided a superior shutter glass device that has a simple and light-weight structure, has a high degree of designability, and is fitted to each wearing user. Shutter glasses 400 form a structure body in which a transparent front shield 401 to which left and right liquid crystal shutters 403L and 403R are bonded is supported by a front frame 407. On both left and right ends of the front frame 407, left and right temples 402L and 402R are supported so as to be open or closed. The shutter glasses 400 supporting the liquid crystal shutters 403L and 403R using the front shield 401 are simple, light-weight, and have superior designability.

  • Patent number: 8063983
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus is disclosed. The imaging apparatus includes: a housing forming an external armor; an imaging lens provided in the housing; a barrier adapted to be moved between a closing position at which it covers the imaging lens; and an opening position at which it causes the imaging lens, a barrier opening/closing member provided at the housing so as to be movable between a first position and a second position; and an interlock mechanism coupling the barrier and the barrier opening/closing member, causing the barrier to be located at the closing position at the first position of the barrier opening/closing member, and causing the barrier to be located at the opening position at the second position, the barrier being provided between the housing and the barrier opening/closing member and covered, at the opening position, with the barrier opening/closing member located at the second position.
