Abstract:
A lens barrel assembly for use with a digital still camera includes an outer barrel having a front end and a rear end. An inner barrel is inserted in the outer barrel in an optical axis direction. The outer barrel moves forwards relative to the inner barrel, to shift between a short size position and a long size position, and when in the short size position, shifts from the inner barrel at a smallest shifting amount, and when in the long size position, shifts from the inner barrel at a largest shifting amount. A vent is formed in the outer barrel, and disposed close to the front end. A filter is water-impermeable and air-permeable, and secured to the vent in a closed manner. Also, a vent cover is secured to the outer barrel, for covering the vent.

Abstract:
A lens unit has a photographing lens, and is secured removably to a camera main body. An accessory conversion lens device is settable on the lens unit. The lens unit includes a reception unit for receiving accessory device data from the conversion lens device. A determiner checks propriety of the conversion lens device according to accessory device data received by the reception unit, and produces checking information. A transmission unit transmits the checking information to the main body. Specifically, the lens unit has an image pickup element. Also, the conversion lens device includes an RFID tag for storing the accessory device data. The reception unit includes an RFID tag reader for wireless reception. Also, the main body includes an LCD panel to display for outputting alarm information. A main body controller drives the LCD panel if the checking information represents lack of the propriety.

Abstract:
A computerized method of compressing symbolic information organized into a plurality of documents, each document having a plurality of symbols, includes: (i) automatically identifying a plurality of sequential and non-sequential symbol pairs in an input document; (ii) counting the number of appearances of each unique symbol pair; and (iii) producing a compressed document that includes a replacement symbol at each position associated with one of the plurality of symbol pairs, at least one of which corresponds to a non-sequential symbol pair. For each non-sequential pair the compressed document includes corresponding indicia indicating a distance between locations of the non-sequential symbols of the pair in the input document. In some instances the plurality of symbol pairs includes only those pairs of non-sequential symbols for which the distance between locations of the non-sequential symbols of the pair in the input document is less than a numeric distance cap.
Abstract:
A computerized method and apparatus compresses symbolic information, such as text. Symbolic information is compressed by recursively identifying pairs of symbols (e.g., pairs of words or characters) and replacing each pair with a respective replacement symbol. The number of times each symbol pair appears in the uncompressed text is counted, and pairs are only replaced if they appear more than a threshold number of times. In recursive passes, each replaced pair can include a previously substituted replacement symbol. The method and apparatus can achieve high compression especially for large datasets. Metadata, such as the number of times each pair appears, generated during compression of the documents can be used to analyze the documents and find similarities between two documents.
Abstract:
An unsprung state detection part (140) calculates a variation amount X (=|φ−φ′|), which is a magnitude of a difference between a detected angle φ output from a resolver rotational angle sensor (40) for detecting a rotational angle of an in-wheel motor (30) and an estimated angle φ′ of a motor rotational angle (S11 to S13). The estimated angle φ′ can be calculated by adding an estimated angle of the rotation of the motor (30) in one calculation cycle to a detected angle φn−1 of the previous calculation cycle. When the variation amount X is more than a road surface determination threshold Xref, the unsprung state detection part (140) determines that the travel road on which a vehicle (1) is traveling is a rough road (S14, S15). As a result, the road surface determination can be made by using the rotational angle sensor (40).
Abstract:
A stator includes a first teeth unit including a first insulator having an annular first crossover wire guide and a plurality of first winding units radially provided at regular intervals on an outer circumference of the first crossover wire guide to cover teeth of one phase group of an alternating current, the teeth of the one phase group having upper halves fitted to the first winding units, a third insulator that covers lower halves of the teeth, and a winding wire of one phase wound around the teeth of the one phase group, a second teeth unit having an identical configuration to that of the first teeth unit in which a winding wire of the other phase is wound in a concentrated manner, with second winding units inserted between adjacent ones of the first winding units, and an annular yoke including a plurality of recesses at regular intervals.
Abstract:
A location support relating to a mobile station that can make use of multiple communication networks more efficiently. In an SUPL server of a location system, a judgment is made as to which of two communication networks is accessed by a mobile station based on information specifying the access point of the mobile station, with this access point being notified from the mobile station, whereby the information is then notified from the SUPL server to a location information management device. As a result, in the location information management device, requests to a communication network, which is not accessed by the mobile station, for location information for use in location of the mobile station are suppressed. This makes it possible for location support relating to a mobile station capable of using multiple communication networks to be carried out more efficiently.
