Abstract:
A method is provided for producing a roller thrust bearing having a plurality of rows of rollers, the bearing featuring reduced differential slip, reduced friction and wear, and increased longevity without flaking. The method includes forming a cage to accommodate the rollers, crowning the rollers, and arranging the rollers in pockets such that the rollers held by a pocket have respective end surfaces in direct contact with each other.
Abstract:
An image-capturing apparatus includes: an image-capturing element that captures an image of a subject through a photographic lens and outputs the captured image of the subject as image data; a display device that displays the image of the subject; a recording device that records the image data at a recording medium; a display control device that displays a first image prepared based upon the image data output by the image-capturing element and a second image prepared based upon the image data recorded at the recording medium on the display device; and an instruction device that issues an instruction to the display control device to display the first image and the second image in response to a user instruction operation when the first image is on display at the display device.
Abstract:
There is provided a roller thrust bearing providing reduced differential slip, free of significant friction and wear, and providing increased longevity against flaking. The present invention provides a thrust bearing in the form of a roller thrust bearing including at least two radially arranged rows of rollers and a cage holding the rollers, the rollers including at least one roller crowned.
Abstract:
A camera is equipped with a wireless communication function for executing wireless communication by employing a wireless communication device which includes an antenna. The camera includes an antenna cover that moves to one of an open state in which the antenna is exposed to an outside and a closed state in which the antenna is concealed; and a control device that enables the wireless communication by the wireless communication device by interlocking with movement of the antenna cover to the open state and disables the wireless communication by interlocking with movement of the antenna cover to the closed state.
Abstract:
The invention provides improved operability for portable electronic devices. A portable electronic device includes a display component and a device aperture component which are mounted on separate segments of the electronic device. Each segment can be rotated with respect to the other, thus permitting a user to photograph an object while adjusting the display to a desired viewing condition.
Abstract:
A finder optical system includes a photographing lens, an eyepiece having an optical axis substantially collinear with an optical axis of the photographing lens, and a relay optical system, including a relay lens system, disposed between the photographing lens and the eyepiece for optically connecting a primary focal plane of the photographing lens to a secondary focal plane disposed to be observed through the eyepiece. The relay lens system has an optical axis that is parallel with the optical axes of the photographing lens and the eyepiece, and the relay optical system includes a first pair of reflecting mirrors that relay the optical axis of the photographing lens to the optical axis of the relay lens system, and a second pair of reflecting mirrors that relay the optical axis of the relay lens system to the optical axis of the eyepiece.
Abstract:
A lens device that is not affected by changes in environmental conditions and is capable of manual and automatic focussing of the lens. Specifically, the lens device generates an appropriate operational load during manual operations of the lens using a simple structure. The lens device includes a lens barrel containing a lens holding barrel holding the lens. The operation ring has the ability to rotate and is fitted around the outer periphery of the lens barrel. The lens drive device includes a motor, a deceleration device, a motor drive circuit, and a variable resistor. The motor has the ability to generate electricity. The selection switch selectively connects the motor to either the motor drive circuit or the variable resistor. During automatic operation, the motor is connected to the motor drive circuit. The motor drive circuit is the power source of and drives the motor. The driven motor rotates the operation ring to adjust the focus through the deceleration device. During manual lens operation, the motor is connected to the variable resistor. Through the deceleration device, electricity is generated because of operation ring rotation. The generated electric power is consumed by the variable resistor and the motor, thereby generating an appropriate operational load. The resistance of the variable resistor can be set through an adjustment knob.
Abstract:
A cam follower is constituted by an outer ring which has an outer track surface in its inner circumference; a stud which has an inner track surface opposed to the outer track surface, a flange portion abutting on one side of the inner track surface, a side plate fitting portion and a mounting shaft portion abutting on another side of the inner track surface in this order, and a fiber flow formed continuously from the flange portion to the inner track surface along their outer circumferences; rolling elements which are arranged between the outer track surface and inner track surface; and an inner side plate which is pressed into the side plate fitting portion to work with the flange portion for limiting axial movement of the outer ring and the rolling elements.
Abstract:
Identifier information (LLID) of an ONU and transfer instruction information indicating a transmission system as the output destination of a downstream frame are registered in a table (22) in correspondence with each of the destination IDs of the ONUs or user apparatuses connected to the ONUs. Upon receiving a downstream frame from a host apparatus, a frame transfer processing unit (20) acquires an LLID and transfer instruction information corresponding to the destination ID of the downstream frame from the table (22).
Abstract:
An electronic camera includes a zoom changing unit that changes a focal length of a zoom lens, an image-capturing unit that executes photoelectric conversion for a subject image projected by the zoom lens onto an image-capturing area, a range finding unit that detects a distance to a subject, a photographic range setting unit that sets a size of a photographic range at a subject position, and a zoom control unit that controls the zoom changing unit based upon the photographic range that has been set and the subject distance so that the subject within the photographic range is projected almost over the entirety of the image-capturing area.
