Abstract:
A lens barrel is mated with a lens mount through use of a screw thread whereby relative rotation adjusts lens focus. The lens barrel and lens mount are additionally provided with an interengaging formation that is interposed between an optical axis of the lens barrel and the screw thread. This formation provides a cylindrical sliding contact which isolates any particles produced by operation of the screw thread from reaching the optical components at or near the optical axis.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a micromodule including the steps of: producing an integrated circuit on an active face of a chip made of a semi-conductive material, making a via passing through the chip, electrically linked to the integrated circuit, and inserting the chip into a box comprising a cavity and an electrically conductive element, the active face of the chip being disposed towards the bottom of the cavity, forming on at least one part of a lateral face of the chip a conductive lateral layer made of an electrically conductive material, electrically linked to a conductive element of the rear face of the chip, and producing a connection between the conductive lateral layer and the conductive element by depositing an electrically conductive material in the cavity.
Abstract:
A lens assembly for an imaging device includes a lens for focusing external radiation towards an image sensor of the imaging device. A mounting member is between the lens and the image sensor so that the lens is spaced a set distance from the image sensor. An adjustment member varies position of the mounting member relative to the image sensor so that the set distance is varied.

Abstract:
The imaging device includes an image sensor, a lens member adapted to focus external radiation towards the image sensor and a heat shield to inhibit thermal damage to the lens member. The heat shield may include an optical filter between the lens member and the external radiation.
Abstract:
An image-detecting device including: a body housing a sensor; a first supporting element, rigidly coupled with the body and defining a seat; and an objective including at least one optical unit having an optical axis. The seat forms a guide portion engaging directly and slidably an alignment portion formed by said optical unit to keep the optical axis orthogonal to the sensor.
