  • Patent number: 10868961
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging device, a solid-state image sensor, a camera module, a drive control unit, and an imaging method by which an effect of motion on an image can be corrected. The drive control unit controls drive of at least one of an optical system or an imaging unit by finding, on the basis of motion of the imaging unit that is physically detected, an amount of movement at the time at least one of the optical system or the imaging unit is moved relative to another to optically correct blurring appearing in the image captured by the imaging unit. A signal processing unit performs signal processing for correcting an effect of the motion of the imaging unit on the image based on position information and motion information synchronized with each coordinate on the image.

  • Publication number: 20190281221
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an imaging device, a solid-state image sensor, a camera module, a drive control unit, and an imaging method by which an effect of motion on an image can be reliably corrected. The drive control unit controls drive of at least one of an optical system or an imaging unit by finding, on the basis of motion of the imaging unit that is physically detected, an amount of movement at the time at least one of the optical system or the imaging unit is moved relative to another to optically correct blurring appearing in the image captured by the imaging unit.

  • Publication number: 20080080359
    Abstract: An optical pickup unit, including: a base chassis; a disk table mounted to the base chassis for chucking an optical disk to be able to freely rotate; an optical pickup that records and/or reproduces an information signal with respect to the optical disk; a guide shaft supported by the base chassis, and guides the optical pickup to move in a diameter direction of the optical disk; and a pickup transfer mechanism including a lead screw supported parallel to the guide shaft and engaged with the optical pickup via a rack member, and a drive motor for rotate-driving the lead screw. In the optical pickup unit, the drive motor is disposed out of a projection area of, with respect to the base chassis, the optical disk chucked to the disk table.

  • Patent number: 7324308
    Abstract: A disk drive having a remarkably improved shock resistance and conforming to a standard form factor is disclosed. A hard disk drive capable of detachably combined with a PC card is formed by assembling separate component parts including a functional unit 10 including a disk 11, a base plate 32 holding the functional unit 10, a frame bumper 30 disposed in a middle part of the assembly and serving as a shock-absorbing member, a card assembly 20 provided with a connector 22 to be connected to the slot of a PC card, and a top cover 33 covering the functional unit 10 held on the base plate 32. The frame bumper 30 receives lateral shocks that act on the side surfaces of the hard disk drive.
