| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 7417210 | Multi-spectral sensor system and methods A multi-spectral sensor system and methods are disclosed. One aspect of the invention comprises a multi-spectral sensor system mountable to a mobile platform. The system may comprise an image capturing system, a first translation stage affixed to the image capturing... | 08/26/2008 |
| 7136104 | Mirror box and electronic still camera A mirror box comprises a quick return mirror and an optical low-pass filter. When observing a subject image, the quick return mirror is set to a reflecting position, in which the quick return to mirror is inclined to the optical axis of a photographing lens group by... | 11/14/2006 |
| 5969760 | Electronic still camera having mechanically adjustable CCD to effect focus An electronic still camera is disclosed which adjusts focus to an object image by mechanically moving an electronic sensor within the electronic still camera. The electronic sensor is moved along an optical path of the electronic still camera. In this way... | 10/19/1999 |
| 5838374 | Autofocus video camera that can compensate for variation in the amount of load on a mobile unit of a linear motor in a focus operation A calculation circuit compares a current focus evaluation value provided from a focus evaluation value generation circuit, with a focus evaluation value, of one preceding field stored in a memory, to determine whether a CCD is in-focus or not. The calcula... | 11/17/1998 |
| 5677754 | Scanning exposure apparatus A reticle is scanned in a predetermined direction relative to an illumination field of a predetermined shape. In synchronism therewith, a shot-area defined on a photo-sensitive substrate (or wafer) is scanned in the opposite direction relative to an expos... | 10/14/1997 |
| 5650840 | Focus detecting method and apparatus A method of detecting a focus position of a projection optical system at a high throughput and with high accuracy. A sensor pattern (SP) which is provided on a wafer stage (WS) as a light-receiving part of a photoelectric sensor (PES) is moved in the dire... | 07/22/1997 |
| 5142312 | Apparatus and method for correcting and adjusting parallax in electronic camera A parallax correcting apparatus is provided which comprises an imaging device driving mechanism for supporting a solid state image device so as to move toward and away from the optical axis of a finder optical system. The imaging device driving mechanism ... | 08/25/1992 |
| 4924247 | Apparatus and method for correcting and adjusting parallax in electronic camera A parallax correcting apparatus is provided which comprises an imaging device driving mechanism for supporting an imaging device so as to move away from and close to the optical axis of a finder optical system. The imaging device driving mechanism moves t... | 05/08/1990 |
| 4045805 | Automatic focusing apparatus An apparatus for detecting the correctly focused image of the object projected on a focal plane, comprising a suitable optical system for forming the image of an object to be photographed on the focal plane, and a circuit which receives an electric signal... | 08/30/1977 |
