In some embodiments, a positive pressure exhale valve for a breathing apparatus that opens when internal pressure of a face piece of the breathing apparatus reaches a predetermined positive level includes a valve body, a first spring for always contacting the valve body so as to force the valve body in closing direction, and a braking body for opposing the valve body across a gap and contacting the valve body when a vibration body formed by the valve body and first spring experiences self-excited vibration, thereby suppressing the self-excited vibration.

Positive pressure exhale valve for a breathing apparatus

An image capturing apparatus includes a fixation unit, a panning unit that has an opening and is configured to rotate in a pan direction relative to the fixation unit, and a lens unit configured to move within the opening in the pan direction and thereby rotate in the pan direction relative to the panning unit. The lens unit rotates in the pan direction at least 360 degrees relative to the fixation unit due to the panning unit rotating in the pan direction relative to the fixation unit and the lens unit rotating in the pan direction relative to the panning unit.

Camera

A camera having a heating arrangement comprising a heater arranged to supply heat to a window. A thermally conductive member is arranged in contact with a housing and with the heating arrangement, when a temperature at the conductive member is below a threshold, to transfer heat supplied by the heater to the housing. A thermally insulating member is arranged in proximity with the housing and the heating arrangement. The conductive and/or insulating member is configured to, when the temperature increases above the threshold during heater operation, change its extension to enable contact between the insulating member and the housing and between the insulating member and the heating arrangement, and to disable contact between the conductive member and the housing and between the conductive member and the heating arrangement, thereby thermally insulate the housing from the heater.

Monitoring camera having a heater

An object of the present invention is to provide a breathing apparatus, wherein current for keeping internal pressure of the face piece at a predetermined positive target value at the time of inhale is not applied to the motor fan in a large amount at the start of current application to the motor fan, and the internal pressure of the face piece is prevented from becoming far below the predetermined positive target value immediately after start of current application to the motor fan so as to keep the internal pressure of the face piece at the predetermined positive target value at the time of inhale. A breathing apparatus provided with a breath-synchronized motor fan comprising a face piece for covering a part of or all of a face of a user, an inhale valve and an exhale valve attached to the face piece, a motor fan for supplying internal space of the face piece with external air through the inhale valve, a filter for cleaning the external air to be sucked into the motor fan, a breath monitoring apparatus provided with a membrane member deforming in accordance with fluctuation of internal pressure of the face piece and a sensor for detecting the deformation of the membrane member, and a controller for controlling operation of the motor fan synchronously with breathing of the user in accordance with a detection signal from the breath monitoring apparatus, wherein the controller applies current to the motor fan at the time of inhalation so as to keep the internal pressure of the face piece at a predetermined positive target value, and stops current application to the motor fan so as to stop the motor fan at the time of exhalation, and wherein the controller applies micro-current to the motor fan so as to rotate the motor fan at extremely low speed from the middle of exhalation to inhalation.

Breathing apparatus provided with a breath-synchronized motor fan

A camera comprising: a sensor holder, an image sensor mounted on the sensor holder, a mount holder, and a lens mount being adapted to receive a lens array and being mounted to the mount holder, wherein the sensor holder is attached to the mount holder, wherein a gap having an extension along an optical axis of the camera is formed between the sensor holder and the lens mount, and wherein the sensor holder is provided with a thermally conducting protrusion bridging the gap and being in contact with the lens mount at an interface allowing relative motion between the lens mount and the thermally conducting protrusion along the optical axis while maintaining contact between the lens mount and the thermally conducting protrusion.

Breathing apparatus comprising a face piece for covering the whole face of a user and a fan unit for operating synchronously with the breath timing of the user. The breathing apparatus comprises a breath monitoring apparatus provided with a diaphragm and a sensor for detecting movement of the diaphragm. The location of the diaphragm and the sensor and a transmission path of inhale pressure and exhale pressure to the diaphragm are optimized. The breath monitoring apparatus is disposed in a fan unit, a space for accommodating the diaphragm and the sensor is disposed independently of an air passage in the fan unit, and the internal space of a nose cup is communicated with the space in the fan unit through holes formed in the nose cup and the face piece when the fan unit and the nose cup are connected to the face piece.

Breathing apparatus

A breathing apparatus including a face piece for covering the whole face or part of the face, an inhale valve and an exhale valve provided on the face piece, a motor fan for supplying external air into the face piece through the inhale valve, a filter for cleaning the external air sucked into the motor fan, a breath monitoring apparatus provided on the face piece and not comprising the inhale valve and the exhale valve, and a controller for controlling the operation of the motor fan synchronously with the breath based on the detection signal from the breath monitoring apparatus.

A powered respiration comprising, an air supplying unit and a filter equipped to a face piece part of said powered respiration, wherein an electric fan, a motor and a battery are installed in said air supplying unit.
