20090059373 | Actuator for linear motion and tilting motion - There is provided an actuator used in an optical system comprising a housing, a carrier disposed at least partly inside the housing, and a plurality of linear motion transducers coupled to the carrier and substantially evenly spaced around the carrier within the housing. Each linear motion transducer is able to produce linear motion when energized displacing the carrier relative to the housing to produce linear motion, tilting motion, or both of the carrier. | 03-05-2009 |
20090244298 | Imaging device and image capture device - The invention discloses a imaging device, comprising an imaging module, used for optical to electrical signal conversion, which comprises at least a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit, the first imaging unit used for capturing an image, the second imaging unit used for detecting the movement of the image or the imaging device; a control and processing module, used for controlling the imaging module to output electrical signals, and for processing the electrical signal to generate and to output the motion signal and image signal. The invention also discloses an image capture device which uses the said imaging device. The imaging device can output the motion signal and the image signal simultaneously by adding the second imaging unit used for detecting the movement of the image or the imaging device; consequently better captured image quality can be obtained. Also, the structure can become simpler and the manufacture cost can be lower. | 10-01-2009 |

20090290242 | Lens actuation device, optical system and camera - A lens actuation device for an optical system includes a housing, a carrier at least partially installed in the housing, and a plurality of transducers arranged around the carrier in the housing. All the transducers are coupled with the mount, and at least one transducer includes at least one magnet and at least one coil. At least one transducer includes at least one yoke. All the transducers when powered on may generate independent or consistent movement to cause the mount to make linear movement, rotation, or both relative to the housing. An optical system adopting the lens actuation device and a camera using the same are also presented. The device of the present invention uses the transducers to drive the carrier, such that the lens set is driven to make linear movement, rotation, or both, thereby achieving the flexible manipulation of the lens. | 11-26-2009 |
