| 20090116831 | BATTERY PACKS - A battery pack for mounting to a camera and camera stand is described. The battery pack has attachment means on opposite sides. The attachment means are of complementary design so that the battery pack can be mounted between the camera and the stand. Each attachment means permits linear adjustment of the camera. The two means provide parallel linear adjustment of the camera with respect to the battery pack and of the battery pack with respect to the stand. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090175614 | Image capturing device and activation method therefor - An image capturing device includes a first controller operable to control image capturing; an operation section including a switch; a detector operable to detect a change to an image capturing mode and to send a signal representing the change; a second controller operable to monitor and process the sent signal, the second controller having a power consumption less than that of the first controller; and a power supply operable to supply power to the first controller, the second controller, and a functional section of the device. When the second controller receives the signal sent from the detecting section in a power saving state in which power is supplied from the power supply to the second controller, the power saving state is changed to a power supplying state capable of image capturing by supplying power from the power supply to portions of the device including the first controller. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090214197 | IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGING SYSTEM - An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit configured to convert an object image formed by an imaging optical system into an electrical signal, a power supply unit capable of being supplied with power from first and second power supply systems, and a control unit configured to cause the imaging unit to operate in different control modes according to whether power is supplied from the first power supply system or the second power supply system. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20120155849 | IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CALCULATING USABLE TIME OF IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes a usable time calculation unit which calculates a usable time of a battery device having a secondary battery, wherein the usable time calculation unit measures an average power level while a component is performed at a predetermined operation mode, wherein the power consumption of the component is unknown in advance before the component is initially connected, and when power is supplied for the second and subsequent times while the component is continuously connected, the usable time calculation unit calculates the usable time of the battery device using the average power level and a current integration value which is an integration value of current flowing during charging and discharging of the battery device. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20130089314 | POWER SUPPLYING APPARATUS, POWER SUPPLYING METHOD, AND IMAGING APPARATUS - A power supplying apparatus includes: a capacitor that is connected in parallel with a battery; a voltage control apparatus configured to control a voltage for charging the capacitor; a current limiting circuit configured to control a current amount to be supplied to the capacitor; a first switching element configured to control supply of a current for charging the capacitor; and a second switching element configured to control supply of a current from the capacitor to at least one motor. | 04-11-2013 |
| 20130272691 | POWER SOURCE SWITCHING DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC APPLIANCE - A power source switching device includes a first switch circuit provided between a first power source and a load section, a second switch circuit provided between a second power source and the load section, a third switch circuit provided between the first power source and the load section in series with the first switch circuit, a fourth switch circuit provided between the second power source and the load section in series with the second switch circuit, a logic circuit that controls the third and the fourth switch circuits to prevent at least one of the third and fourth switch circuits from turning on while both of the first and second switch circuits are in an on state, and a control circuit that controls the first switch circuit, the second switch circuit, and the logic circuit. | 10-17-2013 |
| 20140050467 | IMAGING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CALCULATING USABLE TIME OF IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging apparatus includes a usable time calculation unit which calculates a usable time of a battery device having a secondary battery, wherein the usable time calculation unit measures an average power level while a component is performed at a predetermined operation mode, wherein the power consumption of the component is unknown in advance before the component is initially connected, and when power is supplied for the second and subsequent times while the component is continuously connected, the usable time calculation unit calculates the usable time of the battery device using the average power level and a current integration value which is an integration value of current flowing during charging and discharging of the battery device. | 02-20-2014 |
