20090313783VACUUM CLEANER - A vacuum cleaner is disclosed, and this cleaner maintains sucking power at a high level while it resists lowering the suction force although it sucks dust. The vacuum cleaner includes a cylindrical dust collecting case which takes air in sucked by an electric air blower and including dust. The case includes a suction port through which the air including dust flows into the case along a tangent line, and a dust collector communicates with the port. A dust filter in the case is placed in an air-duct through which the case communicates with the electric air blower. This structure allows whirling airflow in the case to whirl continuously in the case, so that dust can be removed from the filter even if the dust attaches to the filter. As a result, sucking airflow can be always secured.12-24-2009

The distortion adjustment value calculation portion decreases the distortion adjustment value in accordance with a generation situation of the input image, so that the degree of the correction in the distortion correction process by the distortion correction processing portion is decreased.07-22-2010
20100277620Imaging Device - Before performing a zoom in operation, a view angle candidate frame indicating an angle of view after the zoom in operation is superimposed on an input image to generate an output image. A user checks the view angle candidate frame in the output image so as to check in advance an angle of view after the zoom in operation.11-04-2010
