| 20120075454 | ELECTRONIC MAGNIFIER - An electronic magnifier includes a stage on which an object to be read is placed, an imaging unit which is disposed above the stage to image the object, a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor which is mounted via a pivoting member to the imaging unit so as to be pivotable, wherein the LCD monitor is configured to be accommodated in a space defined between the imaging unit and the stage. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110276811 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging section converting an image taken from an object into an original image signal, an apparatus body outputting an image or video signal to an external display and further delivering an image data signal to a terminal device, an external data input/output terminal including a main data input/output terminal for data communication with the terminal device and an secondary data input/output terminal for connection of peripheral device executing data communication with the terminal device, a single main power supply unit supplying power to the imaging section and the apparatus body, one or more power supply units supplying power to the peripheral device from the secondary data input/output terminal, and a power supply control unit executing control for converting voltage and current of an external power supply into voltages and currents suitable for operations of the imaging section, the apparatus body and the peripheral device respectively. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110260015 | VISUAL PRESENTING APPARATUS - A visual presenting apparatus includes a support column which is mounted via a pivot shaft on a base so as to be pivotable, a friction braking mechanism applying a frictional load to the pivot shaft over a whole range of pivotal movement of the column, a power assist mechanism which applies a spring force to the column to urge the column rearward, a video camera head mounted on a distal end of the column and located over a document placed on an installation surface of the base, thereby imaging the document. The column is pivotable between a forwardly-tilted position and a folded position. The power assist mechanism is operatively coupled with the column when the column is tilted forward from an upright position. The power assist mechanism is released from the coupled state when the column is tilted rearward from the upright position. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20110134313 | VISUAL PRESENTER - A visual presenter includes a base, a support column mounted on the base and a video camera head mounted on a distal end of the support column. The support column includes a first support column and a second support column. The first support column is mounted on a right or left corner of a front of the base so as to be pivotable in a right-left direction relative to the base. The second support column is mounted on a distal end of the first support column so as to be pivotable in the right-left direction relative to the base. The video camera head is mounted on the distal end of the second support column so as to be pivotable in the right-left direction. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20100245992 | Attachment for use with visual presenter - An attachment connects an eyepiece lens tube of microscope and an imaging lens tube of visual presenter and includes a cylindrical part loosely fittable through an opening with the eyepiece lens tube, a circular receiving surface which is formed on the cylindrical part and which a distal end of the imaging lens abuts, the receiving surface having a through hole, an indication line indicative of a center of the hole, a positioning piece standing along an outer circumferential edge of the receiving surface and having an inner circumferential surface with a curvature radius substantially equal to a curvature radius of outer circumference surface of the imaging lens tube, the outer circumferential surface of the imaging lens tube, and at least three screw members which are threadingly thrust radially through a circumferential surface of the cylindrical part into the cylindrical part, the screw members being arranged equiangularly. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100194973 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a column support standing on a base, and a camera head mounted on a distal end of the column support. The column support includes an upright part standing from the base and a horizontal part extending horizontally ahead of the base. A pedestal is mounted on a first support shaft mounted on the base, so as to be pivotable in a right-left direction between a standing position and a lying position. The pedestal has an end located opposite the first support side. A second support shaft is located on a pedestal end so as to protrude forward from a base front. The upright part includes a basal portion which is mounted on the second support shaft, so as to be pivotable between a first position where the basal portion stands on the pedestal and a second position where the basal portion stands upright on the pedestal. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100188756 | Zoom dial mechanism - A zoom dial mechanism includes a zoom dial mounted on a base plate so as to extend through a central hole of the base plate and so as to be turnable, a coil spring mounted on the base plate to urge the zoom dial toward a neutral position, and a push knob mounted in a central hole of the dial. The base plate has a groove concentric with the central hole. The coil spring is mounted in the groove. The mechanism further includes a first rib fixed to the dial so as to abut one end of the coil spring and a second rib fixed to the dial so as to abut the other end of the spring. The spring is compressed by the first rib when the dial is turned clockwise, and the coil spring is compressed by the second rib when the dial is turned counterclockwise. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100188562 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a base, a column support standing on the base and having a distal end, the column support including an upright part standing upright from the base and a horizontal part that is continuous from the upright part and extends horizontally ahead of the base, the camera head being adapted to image a material placed on an installation surface for the presenter, and a plurality of legs which are mounted on an underside of the base so that one of the legs is located at a predetermined position spaced backward from a front of the base by a predetermined distance. The legs extend in a direction perpendicular to the underside of the base so that an imaging area of the camera head on the installation surface is enlarged so as to cover an area immediately before an installation point of the leg. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100187378 | Visual presenter - A visual presenter includes a base, a column support including an upright part and a horizontal part, and a camera head mounted on a distal end of the horizontal part. The horizontal part includes first and second horizontal parts. The first horizontal part is mounted on a first support shaft further mounted on the upright part, so as to be pivotable between a downwardly extending position and a horizontal position. The second horizontal part is mounted on a second support shaft further mounted on an end of the first horizontal part located opposite the first support shaft side, so as to be pivotable between a horizontal backward position and a horizontal forward position. | 07-29-2010 |
