Fasteners extend through the bayonet into the forward end of the lens assembly to connect the ISLA to the bayonet.

A tablet computing system may include a housing member defining a first portion of a back exterior surface of the tablet computer, at least a portion of a side exterior surface of the tablet computer, a raised rim extending from the back exterior surface and at least partially defining a sensor assembly hole extending through the housing member, and a support ledge positioned in the sensor assembly hole. The tablet computing system may also include a frame member positioned at least partially in the sensor assembly hole and coupled to the support ledge, a camera bracket coupled to the frame member, a first camera module coupled to the camera bracket, aa second camera module coupled to the camera bracket, the camera bracket fixing the relative positions of the first camera module and the second camera module, and a cover member positioned in the sensor assembly hole and attached to the frame member.

A casing member for an in-vehicle camera, obtained by injection molding a resin composition that comprises 100 to 300 parts by mass of a total of a fibrous inorganic filler and a non-fibrous inorganic filler to 100 parts by mass of a polyarylene sulfide resin and has a content of an elastomer of 10% by mass or less, and satisfying the following conditions (A) and (B). (A) When a molded product of a predetermined shape is injection molded using the resin composition under predetermined conditions, an absolute value of (shrinkage rate in a direction perpendicular to a flow direction)−(shrinkage rate in the flow direction) is 0.5% or less. (B) A water absorption rate of a molded product of a predetermined shape that is injection molded using the resin composition under predetermined conditions is 0.3% or less when subjected to a predetermined hot water immersion test.

A lens barrel has a dial operation member that adjusts an optical function of an imaging optical system, a restriction operation member having a first inclined surface inclined with respect to a movement direction from a release position toward a restriction position, and a cam member provided between the restriction operation member and the dial operation member and having a second inclined surface. In a case where the restriction operation member is moved to the release position, the dial operation member is put into a release state. In a case where the restriction operation member is in the restriction position, the cam member puts the dial operation member into a restriction state.

Provided are a fixed-focus photographing module, a manufacturing method thereof, and a focusing device and method thereof. The focusing method includes: pre-assembling an optical lens assembly in a lens assembly holder, wherein the optical lens assembly is exposed at the exterior of the lens assembly holder, and the optical lens assembly is located in a photosensing path of a photosensing component assembled in a circuit board to form a pre-assembled photographing module; performing, by the pre-assembled photographing module, a photographing operation to obtain a testing image; adjusting, according to the testing image, a relative position between the optical lens assembly and lens assembly holder until the pre-assemble photographing module outputs a clear image as required; and fixing the optical lens assembly and the lens assembly holder to complete a focusing operation and obtain an assembled fixed-focus photographing module.

A lens module including a lens barrel and a plurality of lenses having refractive power is provided. The lenses are arranged in the lens barrel from an object side to an image side. The lens barrel has an inner-wall surface and an outer-wall surface opposite to each other, and has an air outlet communicating with outside. The air outlet is located between the inner-wall surface and the outer-wall surface. A first lens of these lenses is a lens closest to the object side. The first lens has an object-side optical surface facing the object side. At least over 95% of the surface area of the object-side optical surface of the first lens is exposed to outside, and a material of the first lens is glass. Furthermore, another lens module is also provided.

A coupling system for peripheral devices may include a housing and a shaft assembly. An end of the shaft assembly is threaded and couples to and uncouples from a peripheral device by relative rotational movement between the peripheral device and the shaft assembly. An inner cavity of the housing and another end of the shaft assembly defines a limited range of rotational motion between first and second rotational positions. Rotating the shaft assembly to the first rotational position allows for the peripheral device to be rotated relative to both the shaft assembly and the housing to couple the peripheral device to the housing via the shaft assembly. With the peripheral device coupled to the shaft assembly, relative rotational motion between the peripheral device and the housing is allowed between the first rotational position and the second rotational position without rotating the peripheral device relative to the shaft assembly.
