Abstract:
A mobile phone apparatus is provided with a camera module 36 having an image sensor and an exposure evaluating circuit. When a camera function is turned on, an image sensor outputs image data, and the exposure evaluating circuit performs AE controlling processing based on an exposure time in correspondence with a luminance evaluated value of the image data. Also, in a case that the ambient is dark, and thus, illumination of an object is low, that is, in a case that the luminance evaluated value of the image data is less than a predetermined value, an LED 40 emits light as a flash in imaging. At this time, the AE controlling processing is suspended to thereby change the current exposure time into a predicted exposure time. Then, the AE controlling processing is started regarding the changed predicted exposure time as a starting point of the control.

A diving jacket includes a back-plate 22 and a pair of waist belt members respectively having circumferentially rear end regions fixed to the back-plate 22 by a means of associated connector plates 31. Rear end regions 37 of the respective connector plates 31 are formed with a plurality of dovetail tenons 51 or a plurality of dovetail grooves 52 arranged in vertical direction of the connector plates 31 so as to extend in parallel one to another and the back-plate 22 is formed with much more dovetail grooves 52 or dovetail tenons 51 than those formed in the connector plates 31 so as to be operatively associated with the dovetail tenons 51 or dovetail grooves 52 of the connector plates 31, respectively.
Abstract:
A snorkel which includes a main conduit having an upper opening as well as a lower opening and a branch conduit branched from the main conduit. The branch conduit is formed at its top with a mouthpiece and a proximal end of the branch pipe is introduced into the main conduit, then curved toward the upper opening, and thereby eliminates swimmer physical fatigue due to purge diving use of the snorkel.
Abstract:
A method of filling copper in a non-through hole on a substrate that has been treated to render it conductive, which comprises plating said substrate in an acidic copper plating bath comprising a water-soluble copper salt, sulfuric acid and a filling additive that is a polymer having the activities of both of a brightener and a leveler.
Abstract:
A mobile phone apparatus 10 is equipped with a camera module 36 including an image sensor (52), an AE evaluation circuit (60), etc. When a camera function is executed, an exposure is adjusted such that an exposure evaluated value is equal to an exposure target value, whereby, an AF controlling processing is executed. For example, when a shutter key is operated, the exposure target value is changed to an exposure target value for AF control being smaller than an exposure target value for normal photographing. Furthermore, a frame rate is increased such that the exposure evaluated value having a correlation to the frame rate is smaller than the exposure target value in response to the change of the exposure target value. Then, the AF controlling processing is executed on the basis of the image data every frame output from the image sensor (52) at the increased frame rate.
Abstract:
A cylinder band for immobilizing an air cylinder on a buoyancy regulator includes a belt, a buckle and a coupler adapted to couple the belt and buckle. The buckle has a pair of parallel supporting walls, which have longitudinally opposite first ends and second ends. A pivot extends through the first ends, with end surfaces thereof defining cam surfaces that enhance a tensity of the belt as the second ends swing around the pivot while the end surfaces are in contact with the peripheral surface. The end surfaces each has a pair of convexly curved surface segments spaced from each other in the circumferential direction of the peripheral surface, which are adapted to contact the peripheral surface at once. A concavely curved surface segment extends between the convexly curved surface segments and has a curvature radius which is the same as or less than a radius of the peripheral surface.
Abstract:
The objective is to provide a composition or a food material for protecting a living body from an external factor, which includes an extract from Agaricus Blazei Murill. The composition protects a living body through immunocompetent cells. The immunocompetent cells may be macrophages, and optionally, T cells. The immunocompetent cells may be antibody producing cells. The composition may protect a living body through an enhancement of humoral immunity. The enhancement of the humoral immunity may be caused by activating lymphocytes selected from the group consisting of activating T cells and macrophages, and thus enhancing expression of interleukin selected from the group consisting of interleukin-1β and interleukin 6. The external factor may be taken by smoking, or may be an antigen substance.
Abstract:
A strap for diving face mask includes an upper branched sub-section and a lower branched sub-section forming together a loop section in a middle zone of the strap as viewed lengthwise. The upper branched sub-section has a circumferential length larger than a circumferential length of the lower branched sub-section and preferably right and left halves of the strap are sloped toward the side of the lower branched sub-section.
Abstract:
A cylinder band used to immobilize an air cylinder on a buoyancy regulator is provided with a belt, a buckle and a coupler adapted to couple these belt and the buckle. The buckle is swingably attached to the coupler around a pivot and has a pair of parallel supporting walls. The supporting walls have longitudinally opposite first ends and second ends and the pivot extends through the first ends. End surfaces of the first ends define cam surfaces serving to enhance a tensity of the belt as the second ends swing around the pivot while the end surfaces are kept in contact with the peripheral surface. Each of the end surfaces has a pair of the surface segments spaced from each other in the circumferential direction of the peripheral surface and convexly curved toward the peripheral surface so that these convexly curved surface segments are adapted to come in contact with the peripheral surface at once and a concavely curved surface segment extending between the convexly curved surface segments and having a curvature radius which is the same as or less than a radius of the peripheral surface.
