Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080218628Decoder Device And Receiver Using The Same - A decoder apparatus which includes a de-multiplexer, which is configured to divide motion picture data from a transport stream, a video decoder, which is configured to decode the divided motion picture data, and a first re-formatter on-screen unit, which is configured to display motion picture data and at least one of first and second graphic data on a screen. The first re-formatter on-screen unit converts motion picture data of a first aspect ratio, which is decoded by the video decoder, and first graphics data, which is produced by applying information relating to a caption corresponding to the motion picture data, into a second aspect ratio, when outputting the motion picture data of the first aspect ratio after conversion into the second aspect ratio, without converting the aspect ratio of second graphic data, which is produced by applying information relating to a program guide.09-11-2008
20100110286Decoder Device And Receiver Using The Same - A display apparatus includes a receiving unit, which is configured to receive video data, caption data, and program information data, a first on-screen unit, which is configured to display a caption, upon a basis of a second on-screen unit, which is configured to display program information, a format converting unit, and a display unit. When a video on which a caption is displayed is displayed by the display unit, a picture format of a caption is converted by the format converting unit in accordance with conversion of a picture format of a video, and when a video on which program information is displayed by the display unit, a picture format of a program information is not converted.05-06-2010

20100302656METHOD AND STRUCTURE FOR MOUNTING AN OPTICAL LENS - A liquid lens is mounted in a lens opening provided in a photographic instrument by making use of a mounting member made of a material which transmits light of predetermined wavelength and includes an inner wall shaped and dimensioned to receive the periphery of the lens in spaced, opposed relationship. The mounting member includes a portion mounted or to be mounted to the optical instrument. A bonding material is provided between the lens periphery and the mounting member wall, and the bonding material is activated by exposure to light of the predetermined wavelength, which is injected from outside, through the mounting member. Preferably, the light is injected with a guide member having an opening with an interior wall shaped and dimensioned to conform to an exterior wall of the guide member. The light may be injected from an edge of the guide member remote from the opening, through the guide member, and into the mounting member.12-02-2010
20100302747SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COUPLING A LENS TO A PRINTED CIRCUIT - An optical assembly is disclosed which may include a lens having first and second electrodes; and a flexible printed circuit (FPC) configured for placement in proximity to the lens, wherein the FPC may include a bottom insulating layer; a top insulating layer; and an FPC electrode configured to contact the second electrode of the lens, wherein the FPC electrode may include a center portion disposed between the bottom and top insulating layers of the FPC; a post connected to the center portion and extending through the top insulating layer of the FPC; and a contact layer connected to the post and configured to provide the contact with the second electrode of the lens.12-02-2010
20100329657Method and Apparatus for Imaging a Moving Object - A relatively rapidly moving object is imaged with a sensor incorporating a rolling electronic shutter, while using flash illumination which is comparable to or dimmer than ambient light. This is achieved by utilizing a physical shutter between the object and sensor which is synchronized to the flash. Preferably, the physical shutter is also operated so as to be open for a time interval which is coextensive with the presence of the flash. Preferably, an optical mechanism is provided between the object and sensor which causes the image to be focused when the light is flashed and blurred otherwise. Preferably, an optical filter is positioned between the object and sensor, and this filter is constructed to transmit to the CMOS sensor light at the wavelength of the flashing light source but to attenuate ambient light.12-30-2010
20110210174Optical Code Detection With Image Exposure Control - In an optical code detection system and method, infrared pulses are utilized to detect the presence of an object within the range of an optical imaging device, but the image of an infrared pulse reflected from the object is also analyzed to determine the distance between the object and the imaging device. An illumination pulse is then produced to illuminate the optical code on the object, and the characteristic of that pulse, such as duration, are controlled to provide appropriate exposure for an object at the detected distance.09-01-2011
20120024954Optical Assembly and Optical-Information-Reading Device - A camera module 02-02-2012
20120037820OPTICAL ASSEMBLY AND OPTICAL-INFORMATION-READING DEVICE - To provide a camera module in which a liquid lens can be fixed with a simple configuration. The camera module 02-16-2012
