ANTI-FOG MEASURES FOR IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040216 titled 'ANTI-FOG MEASURES FOR IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a camera with a housing that contains a lens assembly. The lens assembly includes a lens, a lens cover, and a lens cavity between them. The camera also has a fluid path that connects the lens cavity to the external environment, and a seal that partially obstructs the fluid path. The seal is designed to equalize the humidity inside the lens cavity with the humidity in the external environment.

  • The camera has a housing that contains a lens assembly.
  • The lens assembly includes a lens, a lens cover, and a lens cavity.
  • A fluid path extends from the lens cavity, through the camera housing, to the external environment.
  • A seal is present to partially obstruct the fluid path.
  • The seal is designed to equalize the humidity inside the lens cavity with the humidity in the external environment.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cameras used in outdoor environments where humidity can affect the lens performance.
  • Cameras used in underwater photography where maintaining the humidity balance is important.
  • Surveillance cameras placed in high humidity areas.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prevents condensation from forming inside the lens cavity due to humidity differences.
  • Reduces the risk of lens fogging or damage caused by moisture.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved image quality by maintaining a consistent humidity level inside the lens cavity.
  • Increased durability and longevity of the camera by preventing moisture-related damage.
  • Enhanced performance in challenging environmental conditions.


Original Abstract Submitted

a camera includes a housing that defines a camera housing cavity and a lens assembly partially disposed in the camera housing cavity. the lens assembly comprises a lens, a lens cover, and a lens cavity that is defined between the lens and the lens cover. the camera includes a fluid path that extends from the lens cavity, through the camera housing cavity, and to an external environment. the camera includes a seal that partially obstructs the fluid path and is configured to equalize a humidity in the lens cavity with a humidity in the external environment.
