There is provided a recording apparatus that records data to a memory card, comprising: a control unit configured to repeatedly transmit a data recording instruction that includes information designating recording target data and a recording destination to the memory card which manages a memory for data recording in the memory card as a plurality of recording areas and which can execute data recording with a guaranteed minimum recording speed in units of recording areas, wherein when transmitting a first data recording instruction that designates a start portion of a first recording area as a recording destination, the control unit requests the memory card to execute data recording with the guaranteed minimum recording speed with respect to the first recording area by including a speed guarantee request in the first data recording instruction.

Recording apparatus, recording method, storage medium, and memory card

An endoscope apparatus includes a housing. The housing includes an upper portion provided with the display part, and a lower portion provided with the manipulating part and having the insertion part connected thereto, at least a portion of the back face of the lower portion is set so that the fundamental shape thereof is convex toward a proximal end portion of the insertion part, the convex portion is a grip face on which a user's fingers are arranged when the user holds the housing, and wherein the housing is held such that the thumb of one hand of a user is located at a distal end of a manipulating rod, the other fingers in the one hand of the user are located above and below the proximal end portion of the insertion part in the grip face, and the thumb and the other fingers face each other.

Endoscope apparatus

An endoscope apparatus includes an insertion part having an imaging mechanism at a distal end portion and which is bendable and elongated; a display part which displays an image acquired by an imaging mechanism; a manipulating part which performs curving manipulation of the insertion part; and a housing which the display part and the manipulating part are provided to a front face thereof, and which connects the insertion part with a back face opposite to the front face. The housing is capable of being self-supported in a state where the edge of the back face at the display part, and a connecting portion between the insertion part and the housing are brought into contact with the ground.

An endoscope apparatus includes an insertion part which has an imaging mechanism at a distal end portion and which is bendable and elongated; a display part which displays an image acquired by the imaging mechanism; a manipulating part which has a swinging body and which performs curving manipulation of the insertion part; and a housing which provides the display part and the manipulating part to a front face thereof, and which connects the insertion part with a back face opposite to the front face.

An endoscope apparatus includes an insertion part which has an imaging mechanism at a distal end portion; a display part which displays an image acquired by an observation mechanism, a manipulating part which performs curving manipulation of the insertion part; and a housing which accommodates the display part and the manipulating part to a front face thereof, and which connects the insertion part with a back face opposite to the front face. The manipulating part has a swingable first joystick; and a curving mechanism having the first joystick and a manipulating member connected thereto. The swinging center of the first joystick is located inside a region specified by a portion where fingers are arranged in a side view of the housing when a user holds the housing, and by a distal end of the first joystick protruding toward the front face.

An endoscope includes an insert portion, a display portion, a manipulation portion, a casing that houses the display portion and the manipulation portion at a front side, and to which the insert portion is connected at a back side, and a battery. The casing has an upper portion in which the display portion is housed and a lower portion in which the manipulation portion is housed. At least a portion of a back side of the lower portion is convex. The insert portion is connected to the convex portion of the back side of the lower portion at a position such that the insert portion extends between fingers of a single hand when a user holds the lower portion. And an opening for inserting and removing the battery is provided in a back side of the upper portion.

Endoscopic device

An endoscope includes an insert portion, a display portion, a manipulation portion, a casing which houses the display portion and the manipulation portion at a front side, and to which the insert portion is connected at a back side, and a battery. The casing has an upper portion in which the display portion is housed and a lower portion in which the manipulation portion is housed. The insert portion is connected to the lower portion and extends from the lower portion in a first direction. And a line connecting a center of gravity of the battery and a center of gravity of the casing while the battery is housed in the casing extends in a second direction that intersects the first direction at an angle.

An apparatus comprises first and second levers supported to be rotatable on a holder which holds a disc cartridge. The first lever has one end provided with a abutting pin which abuts the shutter to open the window of the cartridge, and other end connected to a shutter-closing spring to rotate the first lever to close the window and eject the cartridge from the holder. The second lever has one end coupled to the shutter-closing spring and other end provided with a push pin and connected to a break spring to make the push pin apply a force to the side of the cartridge. When the cartridge is inserted into the holder, the shutter-closing spring decreases the bias of the brake spring whereby decreasing the force with which the push pin pushes the side of the cartridge.
