Digital cameras comprising a lens assembly comprising N lens elements L-Lstarting with Lon an object side, wherein N is ≥4, an image sensor having a sensor diagonal S, and a pop-out mechanism that controls a largest air-gap d between two consecutive lens elements within lens elements Land Lto bring the camera to an operative pop-out state and a collapsed state, wherein the lens assembly has a total track length TTL in the operative pop-out state and a collapsed total track length cTTL in the collapsed state, wherein Sis in the range of 7-20 mm and wherein cTTL/S<0.6.

Slim pop-out cameras and lenses for such cameras

Optical image stabilization (OIS) mechanisms, comprising a moving frame including a first groove, a static frame including a second groove, an OIS actuator, and first, second and third bearings that define an OIS plane, wherein the first ball bearing is located in a rail formed by the first groove and the second groove, wherein the ball-bearings are positioned between the moving frame and the static frame and allow a first movement and a second movement of the moving frame relative to the static frame, wherein the first movement is a rotational movement performed around a rotation axis that coincides with the position of the first ball bearing and is perpendicular to the OIS plane, and wherein the second movement is a linear movement along the rail.

Slim compact lens optical image stabilization

The present disclosure provides a camera module for use in a portable electronic device. The camera module comprises a shiftable lens barrel comprising an objective assembly holding coaxially one or more lens elements defining an optical axis. The camera module has a retractable cover window. The lens barrel has an operative state and a collapsed state and the cover window has a corresponding extended and retracted position. The camera further comprises an actuator including a driving motor; a pop-out assembly actuatable by the actuator. The pop-out assembly includes a driving cam configured to be driven rotationally by the actuator, a carrier configured to receive the lens barrel and an image sensor configured to image a field of view of the objective assembly when the lens barrel is in the operative state.

Systems for pop-out camera

A method includes removing the previously imaged area () from the flexographic plate () to create an opening in the flexographic plate; providing a portion () from a flexographic plate built from similar material of the previously imaged flexographic plate; adding adhesive material () to the portion or to the opening or to the portion and to the opening; placing the opening within the portion; curing the adhesive material to permanently fix the portion to the flexographic plate; polishing the top () of the portion to match to the top surface () of the flexographic plate; and imaging the portion.

Method for fixing a flexographic plate

The present invention relates to a system for optically adjusting a computer-to-plate (CTP) imaging head which includes an a light source (), optical fiber () for transmitting light emitted from the light source; an imaging lens () for focusing light emitted from a distal end of the optical fiber () on a substrate; wherein a portion of light striking the substrate is reflected back to the distal end of the optical fiber; a fiber optic coupler () in the optical fiber which transmits the reflected light to a light detector (); wherein the light detector measures intensity of the reflected light; and a control unit configured to adjust the imaging head according to the intensity of the reflected light.
