A reading device includes an emission unit that emits light; a first reflecting unit having a first reflecting surface that reflects the light emitted by the emission unit toward a document; an optical path unit including a second reflecting unit having a second reflecting surface that reflects the light reflected by the first reflecting unit and specularly reflected by the document, the optical path unit defining an optical path that guides the light reflected by the second reflecting surface; an image sensor that generates an image represented by light guided by the optical path unit; and a support unit that supports the first reflecting unit and the second reflecting unit and fixes a relative position and a relative orientation between the first reflecting surface and the second reflecting surface.

Methods, apparatuses, and methods of manufacture are described that provide one or more fixed blades mounted to a frame or substrate, one or more movable blades mounted to each structure to be moved, and flexures on which the structures are suspended which reduces moment of inertia during use.

According to an embodiment, a mirror is attached to the gooseneck with a mounting bracket. The gooseneck attaches to a second mounting bracket that is affixed to the sewing machine. According to a further embodiment, optional magnets can be affixed to the back of the mirror, thus allowing the user to keep pins off the work surface (by attaching the pins to the back of the mirror).

A mirror swing actuator assembly for an optical path folding element (OPFE) for compact folding camera modules comprises an exit aperture for outputting folded light rays, and an incoming aperture for receiving incoming light rays, wherein a distance between a top lens of a lens actuator and an end of the optical path folding element is minimized by configuring the second aperture and/or a support assembly of the optical path folding element to receive, within the mirror swing actuator assembly, an end portion of the optical actuator/lens assembly that comprises the top lens.

A mirror holding structure includes a mirror holder that holds a mirror with an adhesive member having elasticity interposed therebetween. The mirror holder includes an elastic part that is in contact with the mirror and elastically deforms. A spring constant of the elastic part is greater than a spring constant of the adhesive member.

A line scanner assembly includes a cam with a cam surface, where the cam rotatable about a cam axis of rotation and includes a first ferromagnetic material. A mirror with a planar surface is configured to tilt about a mirror axis of rotation. A follower is attached to the mirror and has a second ferromagnetic material, where the first magnetic material and/or the second magnetic material includes a permanent magnet and where the follower maintains contact with the cam due to a magnetic attraction between the first ferromagnetic material and the second ferromagnetic material.

An arrangement of a microlithographic optical imaging device includes first and supporting structures. The first supporting structure supports an optical element of the imaging device. The first supporting structure supports the second supporting structure via supporting spring devices of a vibration decoupling device. The supporting spring devices act kinematically parallel to one another between the first and second supporting structures. Each supporting spring device defines a supporting force direction and a supporting length along the supporting force direction. The second supporting structure supports a measuring device configured to measure the position and/or orientation of the optical element in relation to a reference in at least one degree of freedom and up to all six degrees of freedom in space. A creep compensation device compensates a change in a static relative situation between the first and second supporting structures in at least one correction degree of freedom.

A camera module includes an imaging lens assembly, an image sensor, a first reflecting member and a first driving apparatus. The imaging lens assembly is for converging an imaging light on an image surface. The image sensor is disposed on the image surface. The first reflecting member is located on an image side of the imaging lens assembly, the first reflecting member is for folding the imaging light, and has a first translational degree of freedom. The first reflecting member is assembled on the first driving apparatus, and the first driving apparatus is for driving the first reflecting member moving along the first translational degree of freedom.
