Patent number: 11036027Abstract: The housing includes a plate-shaped base; and a cover provided with a bottom plate and a side plate, and covers a main surface of the base. The base has in the main surface, a wall part which extends along the peripheral edge of the main surface, and faces the side plate of the cover. The side plate having an opening exposing a portion of the wall part. An adhesive bonding the base and the cover together is provided in a gap between the wall part and the side plate. The cross-sectional area of the gap in a cross section orthogonal to at least one direction from the direction from the wall part exposed from the opening, to either end of the wall part in the length direction, and the direction from the height-direction end of the wall part exposed from the opening, to the main surface of the base, decreases in said at least one direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: June 15, 2021Assignee: Nidec Copal CorporationInventors: Haruka Matsuhisa, Yusuke Ehara

Publication number: 20200341348Abstract: A technique lowers the likelihood that a privacy-related image leaks through a network from a camera for capturing images of an individual or a private space, and enables a subject person to notice that privacy is protected. A camera includes an imaging optical system that captures an image of a subject, an image sensor, a blade that advances into an optical axis of the imaging optical system, and a blade driver that causes the blade to advance into and retract from the optical axis. The blade causes privacy-related information about a subject to be less recognizable.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2020Publication date: October 29, 2020Inventors: Kenzo Imai, Nobuaki Watanabe, Yusuke Ehara

Patent number: 7911529Abstract: A digital camera includes at least one shutter blade in which opening and closing operations of an exposure aperture are performed using an electromagnetic actuator. The digital camera also includes an image sensor converting light from an object into image information, and an image processing circuit which stores the image information converted by the image sensor in an image memory so that the image information can be fetched and such that the image processing circuit has terminals for connecting the image processing circuit to an estimation display device. Further, the digital camera includes an exposure control circuit including a reference table controlling the amount of light exposure and at least one correction table allowing the amount of light exposure controlled by the reference table to be corrected, and includes a driving circuit driving the electromagnetic actuator according to an output signal of the exposure control circuit.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2007Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Nidec Copal CorporationInventors: Yusuke Ehara, Nobuaki Watanabe, Yoshiyuki Ozeki
