摘要:
An image capturing unit for an electronic endoscope, includes an image capturing element with an image capturing area, at least one bonding wire, which is extended curvedly and outwardly from at least one edge portion of a surface of the image capturing element to at least one conductor, and a transparent cover plate, which is fixed to a frame and is adapted to seal the image capturing element from an external environment. The cover plate is formed to have at least one bonding wire preventing portion, which is adapted to prevent the at least one bonding wire from being in contact with the cover plate. An edge portion on a front surface of the cover plate is hermetically sealed to the frame.

When a vehicle is traveling along a route toward a parking lot located near a destination facility, if traffic congestion along the route is detected, the navigation apparatus searches for an alternative parking lot that allows a user to reach the destination facility earlier than can by using the original parking lot. If such an alternative parking lot is detected, the predicted driving time and the predicted walking time are displayed together with a route to the parking lot. When traffic congestion is encountered when transporting a passenger by vehicle, the navigation apparatus determines a quicker way for the passenger to reach the destination facility. If the navigation apparatus detects that the passenger can reach the destination facility earlier if the passenger disembarks the vehicle and walks to the destination facility, the navigation apparatus presents information indicating a best point at which the passenger should disembark the vehicle.

An insertion portion of an endoscope includes a flexible tubular framework composed of short-cylindrical joint rings coupled in series via rotatable connecting shafts; and flexible internal elements including a treatment tool insertion channel and a optical fiber bundle(s). Each short-cylindrical joint ring is coupled at one end to one adjacent joint ring via two connecting shafts at 180-degree symmetrical positions and is coupled at the other end to another adjacent joint ring via another two connecting shafts at 180-degree symmetrical positions with a 90-degree phase shift with respect to the one adjacent joint ring. Inner end surfaces of one set of connecting shafts at a specific circumferential position are arranged to face the treatment tool insertion channel, and inner end surfaces of another set of the connecting shafts at another specific circumferential direction are arranged to face or substantially face the optical fiber bundle.

An image capturing device for an electronic endoscope is provided with a solid-state image capturing element, an image capturing element holding frame, an objective lens barrel containing an objective optical system, an air-tight connection tube, a front end portion of the connection tube being air-tightly connected to the objective lens barrel, a rear end portion of the connection tube being air-tightly fitted on the image capturing element holding frame. Multiple connection lands to which multiple signal lines of a signal cable are connected are arranged on an outer circumferential surface, at a rear portion, of the image capturing element holding frame, the rear end portion of the connection tube being air-tightly connected to the outer circumference of the image capturing element holding frame on an front side, a size of an outline of the multiple signal lines being smaller than an outer shape of the connection tube.

A display device is provided for making images of a movie, a TV or the like invisible to a driver while the vehicle is traveling, but at the same time visible to a passenger riding in a front passenger seat. A viewing angle control shutter 20 using a liquid crystal is disposed facing a front surface of a liquid crystal display panel 19. When the vehicle is in a stopping state, the viewing angle control shutter 20 is set to off, thereby making the image that is displayed on the display panel 19 visible from the driver's seat side and the front passenger seat side. While the vehicle is traveling, the viewing angle control shutter 20 is driven such that the driver can watch an image produced by the navigation device 13, but cannot watch an image reproduced by a DVD reproduction device 14.

A user is notified of an abnormal condition occurring in a vehicle via a Mayday system. A security apparatus which detects an abnormal condition occurring in a vehicle and which issues an alarm and an emergency communication service apparatus which communicates with a response center and which receives services from the response center during an emergency are connected so that information can be transmitted and received between them. When the security apparatus detects an abnormal condition occurring in the vehicle, the security apparatus notifies the emergency communication service apparatus of the occurrence of the abnormal condition, and in response to the notification, the emergency communication service apparatus notifies a user of the occurrence of the abnormal condition via the response center.

An image capturing unit for an electronic endoscope is provided with a solid-state image capturing element having multiple boding wires arranged at peripheral positions on a front surface of the solid-state image capturing element, the bonding wires extending outward, an image capturing element holding frame in which the solid-state image capturing element is held and a transparent cover glass enclosing the front surface of the solid-state image capturing element from outside, together with a tip end portion of the image capturing element holding frame. The tip end portion of the image capturing element holding frame is formed to have a tubular section, the cover glass being fitted in the tubular section and located at a position where the cover glass does not contact the bonding wires, the cover glass being air-tightly cemented to the tubular section.
