Latest Patents
Wai Shing Sin holds a patent for a "Robust mounting for folded optics assembly." This invention involves a camera that includes a base housing an image sensor. The base is adhered to an optics holder that secures the optical components of the camera. The optics holder is strategically located in a recess of the base component and features a horizontal flange that extends outward from the upper portion of the vertical perimeter walls of the optical components holder. This horizontal flange plays a crucial role in redirecting adhesive horizontally during the assembly process, which may include an active alignment process. The adhesive adheres the flange to an upper horizontal ledge of the base. Additionally, an exposed portion of the adhesive between the horizontal flange and the upper horizontal ledge can be cured using ultraviolet light to prevent any shifting of the optics holder during the transport of the camera to a thermal curing process. Furthermore, a lower portion of a vertical interior wall of the base may include another ledge that redirects adhesive during assembly.
