Abstract:
Two pairs of, i.e., four, centering shafts are provided so as to move in synchronism with each other in opposite directions that are perpendicular to the pull-in direction of a disc and parallel with the recording surface of the disc. The centering shafts butt the outer periphery of the disc and thereby center it.
Abstract:
TWO PAIRS OF, I.E., FOUR, CENTERING SHAFTS (21,22,31,32) ARE PROVIDED SO AS TO MOVE IN SYNCHRONISM WITH EACH OTHER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS THAT ARE PERPENDICULAR TO THE PULL-IN DIRECTION OF A DISC (100) AND PARALLEL WITH THE RECORDING SURFACE OF THE DISC (100). THE CENTERING SHAFTS (21,22,31,32)BUTT THE OUTER PERIPHERY OF THE DISC (100) AND THEREBY CENTER IT. THE MOST ILLUSTRATIVE DRAWING IS (FIGURE NO. 6).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To constitute a mechanism for detecting the size of a discoid recording medium to be introduced into the device, at a low cost and in compact size. SOLUTION: The device 10 for introducing the discoid recording medium into the device itself and reproducing and/or recording a signal on this discoid recording medium is provided with a switch pressing piece 70 to be moved in the direction orthogonal to the introducing direction of the discoid recording medium into the device and also along a recording surface of the discoid recording medium in accordance with the introducing movement of the discoid recording medium into the device. Then, the switch pressing piece 70 is provided in its moving direction with plural push switches 81, 82 and 83 for outputting signals at different levels between the pressing state of pieces to be pressed (81a), 82a and 83a and the nonpressing stage of them respectively, so that the size of the discoid recording medium to be introduced can be detected depending on which piece to be pressed the push switch is pressed with a progress of introducing the discoid recording medium into the device.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging system, an imager, an information processor, and an imaging method capable of appropriately locating the position of an imaging portion and appropriately locating the position of an object image in screen, for a mechanism in which the panning operation is 360-degree rotatable and the tilting operation can rotate from the horizontal direction to the horizontal direction of the opposite side. SOLUTION: The imaging system includes a position detector 104, a coordinate system determiner 212, and a coordinate calculator 214. The position detector 104 detects the position at the panning direction and the tilting direction in an imaging portion 102. The coordinate system determiner 212 determines whether which coordinate system should be used between a first coordinate system showing the position at the panning direction and the tilting direction and a second coordinate system showing the position of an object image in screen of an object captured by the imaging portion 102. When the first coordinate system is used, the coordinate calculator 214 computes coordinates showing the position of the imaging portion in the first coordinate system based on the detected position of the imaging portion. When the second coordinate system is used, the coordinate calculator 214 computes coordinates showing the position of the object image in the second coordinate system based on the detected position of the imaging portion.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixed holder for a semiconductor laser in which deviation of a center of light intensity distribution of a light beam of the semiconductor laser is adjusted and heat radiation is performed efficiently. SOLUTION: The fixed holder 11 is constituted of a sub-holder 2 and a main holder 3. The sub-holder 2 to which the semiconductor laser 101 is attached is provided with a convex spherical surface 2a. The main holder 3 to which the sub-holder 2 is attached is provided with a concave spherical surface 3a constituted by a spherical surface having the same radius as the convex spherical surface 2a. The sub-holder 2 engages the convex spherical surface 2a to the concave spherical surface 3a and fixed to the main holder 3. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance accuracy of a centering position of a disk-like recording medium, to enable the disk-like recording medium to be used in the so-called portrait mode and to stabilize loading operation and ejecting operation of the disk-like recording medium in and from an apparatus. SOLUTION: When loading the disk-like recording medium 100, the disk-like recording medium is loaded by loading/ejecting means 310 and 270 to a prescribed position in the apparatus 10, an outer peripheral edge of the recording medium abuts on centering shafts 398l and 398r and positioning of the recording medium by the centering shafts is performed. When ejecting the recording medium, the centering shafts support the outer peripheral edge of the recording medium and then the recording medium is ejected by the loading/ejecting means.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To surely perform retraction and ejection operations of a disk and prevent damage of the disk with employing a simple configuration by providing a mechanism for retraction and ejecting the disk using a rubber roller with a brush portion contacting the rubber roller, thereby eliminating dusts attached to the rubber roller. SOLUTION: When a disk 28 such as a CD or the like is inserted into a disk reproducing/recording apparatus, a driving mechanism causes a rubber roller 18 made of a silicone rubber or the like to rotate, so that the disk 28 is interposed and retraction between the rubber roller 18 and a pressing member 25 formed of a plastic material and then transported to an optical recording/ readout section including a spindle and an optical pickup. A lot of brush hair planted in a planting portion 21 of a brush member 15 are disposed so that tip portions thereof contact the rubber roller 18. Thus, by rotating the rubber roller 18, dusts produced in the apparatus and attached to the rubber roller 18, especially metal powders, glass powders or the like which may damage a recording surface of the disk 28, are eliminated.
