Abstract:
A focal plane shutter having a front film and a back film which expose a charge-coupled device to light as they move back and forth between a cover plate and a base plate, between a charging position and a discharging position at a certain time interval. The focal plane shutter includes at least one lever member which is connected to the front film and/or back film, and which amplifies an impact force generated during a charging and a discharging movement of the front film and/or back film using a lever action. An elevating member slides in a direction parallel with the movement of the front film and/or back film by the impact force amplified in the lever member. An impact absorbing unit regulates the sliding movement of the elevating member to absorb impact energy generated by the movement and stop of the front film and/or back film.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for estimating a step length of a user are provided. The apparatus and method use a step length estimation algorithm, e.g. a step length estimation parameter coefficient, according to a movement state of a user, i.e. whether the movement state is a walking state or a running state. The movement state of the user is determined on the basis of an acceleration variance value of an acceleration signal output from an accelerometer. Accordingly, the apparatus and method prevent errors in step length determinations.
