The present invention relates to a camera module comprising: a first body including a lens; a second body coupled to the first body; and a substrate assembly disposed within the second body, wherein the substrate assembly comprises: a first substrate and a second substrate; a third substrate disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate; a fourth substrate electrically connecting the first substrate and the second substrate; a fifth substrate electrically connecting the second substrate and the third substrate; and a processor disposed on the second substrate, wherein the length of the fourth substrate is longer than the length of the fifth substrate.

The present disclosure relates to navigation and to systems and methods for using a dual sensor readout channel to allow for frequency detection. In one implementation, at least one processing device may receive a plurality of images acquired by a camera onboard a host vehicle, wherein the plurality of images are received via a first channel and via a second channel, and wherein the first channel is associated with a first frame capture rate, and the second channel is associated with a second frame capture rate different from the first frame capture rate. The processing device may use images received via the first channel to detect flickering and non-flickering light sources in an environment of the host vehicle; and provide, based on images received via the second channel, images for showing on one or more human-viewable displays.

The present disclosure provides a lighting apparatus and method of using the same. The lighting apparatus has a base having a bottom and at least one sidewall, the base having a hollow center, the hollow center being dimensioned for a camera lens, a ribbon of light emitting didoes (LEDs) affixed to the base, wherein the ribbon of LEDs are parallel the sidewall and configured for color temperature between approximately two thousand seven hundred degrees and six thousand degrees, a lens cover coupled to the sidewall of the base, wherein opaque lens is coupled to the sidewall modularly such that a no tooling is required.

A configuration ensuring a connector to be fixed to a connector housing with high water-tightness, free of damaging or breaking due to external force, and achieving high shielding performance and reliability is provided. The connector includes a terminal that is conductive, an intermediate insulating member that contains the terminal, and an outer conductor that is conductive and contains the intermediate insulating member. The connector housing includes an outer conductor holding part provided with an outer conductor insertion hole through which the outer conductor is inserted and a front outer conductor containing cavity that is formed on a front side of the outer conductor holding part and has a larger cross-sectional area than the outer conductor insertion hole. The connector is fixed to the connector housing with a tab welded to a front surface of the outer conductor holding part, the tab being integrally formed with the outer conductor, and with a potting material filled in a portion in the front outer conductor containing cavity close to the front surface of the outer conductor holding part.

A display apparatus includes a display panel having an image acquisition region within a display area, and an image acquisition device over a side of the display panel opposing to its display surface. The image acquisition device is at a position corresponding to the image acquisition region, and is configured to capture an image based on lights from an outside pattern over a side of the display panel proximal to the display surface. The display panel includes a substrate and a plurality of light-emitting elements over the substrate. The plurality of light-emitting elements comprises one or more first light-emitting elements positionally within the image acquisition region. At least one first light-emitting element includes a non-transparent electrode provided with at least one through-hole configured to allow the lights from the outside pattern to pass through the display panel.

A portable electronic device with image capturing capabilities automatically or semi-automatically adjusts one or more image capturing parameters based on an input attribute of user engagement with a single-action haptic input mechanism. For example, the duration for which a single-action control button carried on a frame of the device is pressed automatically determines an image stabilization mode for on-board processing of captured image data. In one example, an above-threshold press duration automatically activates a less rigorous image stabilization mode, while button release before expiry of the threshold automatically activates a more rigorous photo stabilization mode.

Protection system for an optical sensor in a motor vehicle and for detecting an environment of the motor vehicle is provided, wherein the protection system comprises at least one cover for the optical sensor, which can be brought into a cover position in which the optical sensor is protected from environmental influences by the at least one cover. The protection system comprises a storage device for a plurality of covers, from which at least one cover can be moved into the cover position.

System and method for improving the shaving experience by providing improved visibility of the skin shaving area. A digital camera is integrated with the electric shaver for close image capturing of shaving area, and displaying it on a display unit. The display unit can be integral part of the electric shaver casing, or housed in a separated device which receives the image via a communication channel. The communication channel can be wireless (using radio, audio or light) or wired, such as dedicated cabling or using powerline communication. A light source is used to better illuminate the shaving area. Video compression and digital image processing techniques are used for providing for improved shaving results. The wired communication medium can simultaneously be used also for carrying power from the electric shaver assembly to the display unit, or from the display unit to the electric shaver.

A wearable digital video camera (10) is equipped with wireless connection protocol and global navigation and location positioning system technology to provide remote image acquisition control and viewing. The Bluetooth® packet-based open wireless technology standard protocol (400) is preferred for use in providing control signals or streaming data to the digital video camera and for accessing image content stored on or streaming from the digital video camera. The GPS technology (402) is preferred for use in tracking of the location of the digital video camera as it records image information. A rotating mount (300) with a locking member (330) on the camera housing (22) allows adjustment of the pointing angle of the wearable digital video camera when it is attached to a mounting surface.
