20120026300 | IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus can connect a 3D conversion lens. The 3D conversion lens has an optical system capable of collecting light for forming a left-eye image and light for forming a right-eye image. The imaging apparatus has an imaging device, a zoom lens operable to change a magnification of an image to be imaged on the imaging device, a driver operable to drive the zoom lens, a temperature detector operable to detect an ambient temperature of the apparatus, an attachment detector operable to detect whether the 3D conversion lens is attached to the apparatus, and a controller operable to control the driver to cause the zoom lens to move to a predetermined position, when the attachment detector detects that the 3D conversion lens is attached to the apparatus. The controller determines the predetermined position based on a detected result of the temperature detector. | 02-02-2012 |

20140161127 | PACKET BUFFERING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A buffer system and buffering method. The system includes: a buffer for inputting, holding and outputting packets in a voltage island area powered at all times in a system, a memory for inputting, holding and outputting packets, which operates by a stable supply of power, whose power is shut down during the power saving mode of the system, a selector for inputting packets to be outputted from the buffer and the memory and selectively outputting a packet, a buffer controller for controlling the buffer, the memory and the selector so that i) the buffer inputs and holds packets until the memory is operated by a stable supply of power, and ii) the memory, when the main area returns from the power saving mode to the normal operating mode through the supply of power, inputs and holds packets after the memory is operated by a stable supply of power. | 06-12-2014 |
20140168383 | IMAGE PICKUP DEVICE AND PROGRAM - An image capture device includes: a first and second optical system including a first and second focus lens, respectively; a first image sensor that outputs an electrical signal representing a subject image that has been produced through the first focus lens; a second image sensor that outputs an electrical signal representing a subject image produced through the second focus lens; and a drive controller that moves the first and second focus lenses along their optical axes. The drive controller has the second focus lens follow a position determined by a position of the first focus lens until the first focus lens reaches a position close to in-focus position, and then moves the first and second focus lenses to in-focus positions independently of each other once the first focus lens has reached the position close to the in-focus position. | 06-19-2014 |
