    摘要: The combined actuator described can be incorporated into a miniaturized camera product. In the camera product, the shutter driver uses the focus or zoom actuator's power amplifiers to control the current flow in shutter actuators. As such, the space needed for the camera's electronics is smaller and it is less expensive to manufacture the camera product.

    摘要: Techniques for implementing a head down warning system in a handheld electronic device are described. An example of a device includes a display and a depth detection unit disposed on a surface of the handheld electronic device opposite the display. The depth detection unit includes a pair of cameras with panoramic lenses. The device also includes one or more processors that receive distance information from the depth detection unit, process the distance information to detect a hazard, and render a warning on the display to alert a user of the handheld electronic device about the hazard.

    摘要: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for using MSM actuators to minimize the consumption of electric power and/or the quantity of components in implementing OIS in an image capture device. An apparatus may include a camera pivotally mounted within an endpiece of a casing, the camera including an image capture element to capture an image of an object along a line of sight of the image capture element; an actuator of elongate shape coupled to the camera to exert a mechanical force to pivot the camera about an axis, the elongate shape of the actuator extending into a relatively thin and elongate portion of the casing that is coupled to and extends from the endpiece; and a countering movement component to operate the actuator to pivot the camera about the axis in a countering movement to provide OIS to the camera. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device for driving a piezo-electric actuator. A driving voltage is coupled to the piezo-electric actuator by an inductive element coupled in series with the piezo-electric actuator. The piezo-electric actuator is adapted to move an object. The frequency of the driving voltage coupled to the piezo-electric actuator is varied and the velocity of the object is recorded as a function of the frequency. Subsequently, an optimum frequency is determined and the frequency of the driving voltage is adjusted to be substantially equal to the optimum frequency. The optimum frequency is preferably associated with a maximum obtainable velocity of the object.

    摘要: In a method and a device according to the present invention, two piezo-elements of a piezo-electric actuator are driven with two voltages having a mutual phase difference. One of said piezo-elements is charged by a capacitive voltage step-up means to a voltage exceeding an available power supply voltage. A capacitor is coupled to the piezo-element, which divides the voltage of the piezo-element and simultaneously transfers part of the energy stored in the piezo-element to said capacitor. A part of the energy transferred to said capacitor is later transferred back to said piezo-element, providing an energy-saving feature. The second piezo-element is driven in a similar way providing the required phase difference. In a further embodiment, the waveforms of the two driving signals are corrected using balancing capacitors.
