Abstract: an imaging apparatus includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the at least one processor. the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to acquire a parameter related to a brightness of a subject; determine whether to insert a first filter configured to attenuate infrared light into a light path of an imaging optical system, based on whether the acquired parameter satisfies a predetermined condition; and correct the predetermined condition based on whether a second filter different from the first filter and configured to attenuate light is inserted into the light path of the imaging optical system.

CPC Code(s): H05K3/103
Abstract: a manufacturing method of an electronic component includes preparing a first structure in which a first electrode is arranged on a first main surface of a first substrate, preparing a second structure in which a second electrode is arranged on a first main surface of a second substrate, and curing a bonding member while making the first main surface of the first substrate and the first main surface of the second substrate face each other via the bonding member and applying a force to the first structure and the second structure so as to pressurize the bonding member. at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode includes a window portion. in the curing, the bonding member is cured by irradiating the bonding member with light through the window portion.

CPC Code(s): H10N30/802
Abstract: a control device controls driving of a vibration actuator that moves a vibrating body and a contacting body in contact with the vibrating body relative to each other by vibration of the vibrating body excited when a plurality of signals having a phase difference are applied to an electromechanical energy conversion element. the control device includes a first control unit that controls the phase difference between the signals to a first phase difference when the vibrating body and the contacting body do not move relatively and starts moving the vibrating body and the contacting body relatively. the first phase difference is such that the positive/negative sign of the relative position or the relative speed of the vibrating body and the contacting body immediately after the vibrating body and the contacting body start moving relatively is not opposite to the positive/negative sign of the target position or the target speed.
