Latest Patents

Ohishi’s listed patents address image capture and the physical arrangement of components in an image pickup device.

“Imaging device and imaging method for capturing a visible image and a near-infrared image” describes a system that uses illumination, a lens, and a beam splitter to capture visible and near-infrared light. A color imaging device records visible light, while a black-and-white imaging device captures the dispersed near-infrared light. The design specifies a larger pixel pitch for the black-and-white sensor and offsets its near-infrared sampling position horizontally or vertically relative to the red sampling position in the color image.

“Image pickup device” concerns a camera body with a grip belt and an integrated Wi-Fi communication module. The module includes a substrate, processing circuit, and antenna. Its placement is defined in relation to the lens barrel opening and the grip belt’s attachment points.

Career Highlights

Ohishi’s listed inventions reflect work on both image-sensor arrangements and camera hardware. Together, they address how imaging devices capture different wavelengths and how communication components can be positioned within a camera body.
