Abstract:
An IC card includes an IC module and a card base. The IC module is constituted by a circuit board having contact patterns formed thereon and an IC chip mounted on the circuit board. The card base houses the IC module so as to expose the contact patterns. The circuit board of the IC module is constituted by a pattern portion on which the contact patterns are formed and bent portions formed by bending the pattern portion. The card base includes an opening for exposing the contact patterns of the IC module, and clamping portions, formed on peripheral portions of the opening, for fixing the bent portions. The bent portions of the IC module are fixedly clamped by the clamping portions such that the contact patterns are arranged on substantially the same plane as a surface of the card base.
Abstract:
An automatic focusing apparatus of a peak stop system adapted to perform focusing adjustment by: measuring contrast while moving stepwise an objective lens or an object in a direction of a focal point along an optical axis of the objective lens with a certain pitch width from a reference point to store the contrast measured at each position during the movement into a memory: comparing a difference between the contrast value measured at a present position where the objective lens or the object has been just moved and the contrast value stored at each position where the objective lens or the object has been already moved, with a preset judgment value; and judging that the position of the maximum contrast (the focal point) has been passed in relation to the gradual movement with the above pitch width when each of compared results is a positive value at each position, in order to make it possible to detect accurately the position of the maximum contrast, disregarding sub-peaks of the contrast.
