Abstract:
A focusing device of simple construction that is miniaturizable, and an imaging device utilizing the same, are provided. A focusing device (10) comprises an actuator (11), a lens holder (12) that holds lenses (13a) and (13b), and a holder support base (14) upon which the lens holder (12) is installed. The actuator (11) comprises a polymer layer (51), a positive electrode (52) that is formed upon the holder support base (14), and a negative electrode (53) that is formed upon the lens holder (12). When the applied voltage between the positive electrode (52) and the negative electrode (53) rises, the polymer layer (51) deforms radially outward along the positive electrode (52). Along with this deformation of the polymer layer (51), the actuator (11) moves the lens holder (12) along the optical axis.
Abstract:
An actuator includes: a coil for excitation; a stator excited with different magnetic poles by energization of the coil; a rotor magnetized with different magnetic poles in a circumferential direction, and rotated by magnetic force generating between the rotor and the stator; and an outputting member rotated in conjunction with the rotor and outputting rotational movement of the rotor to a member. The outputting member fits onto the rotor, and the rotor has at least one of a recess portion and a projection portion at a fitting surface of the rotor. The outputting member is jointed with the rotor so as to have a shape corresponding to the at least one of the recess portion and the projection portion by welding.
Abstract:
In a current amplifier, a current obtained by holding an input current from an input terminal by a first current sample/hold circuit is added through a connection to a current obtained by inverting the input current by a current inverter to generate a current twice the input current. This current is alternately sampled and held by second and third current sample/hold circuits and alternately output to an output terminal.

Abstract:
A laser beam absorbing resin composition is disclosed which includes 100 parts by weight of a resin, and 1-100 parts by weight of composite particles having an average particle diameter of 0.1-50 .mu.m and each including a particulate, laser beam absorbing inorganic substance, and a colorant physically bonded directly to the inorganic substance and capable of discoloring upon being heated at a temperature of 250.degree. C. or more, the weight ratio of the colorant to the inorganic substance being in the range of 1:99 to 50:50. By irradiating a shaped, hardened body of the above composition with a laser beam, the colorant is thermally decomposed, so that the color of the irradiated surface is changed and becomes discriminative from that of non-irradiated surface.
Abstract:
A visual image sensor system for detecting an abnormal change in a monitored scene is disclosed, wherein normal changes which may occur in the monitored scene are previously memorized to be selectively compared with changes in the monitored scene, whereby the normal changes are discriminated from the actual abnormal change to be detected. An alarm is issued when the monitored scene includes a change different from any of the memorized normal changes selected according to one or more rational selection standards, whereby false or redundant alarms due to the normal changes are prevented. For further precise detection, abnormal changes which may occur in the monitored scene are also previously memorized to be compared with the changes in the monitored scene.
