IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS HAVING COOLING STRUCTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240323501 titled 'IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS HAVING COOLING STRUCTURE

The abstract describes an image pickup apparatus designed to efficiently cool a recording medium while minimizing an increase in the size of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a main body, a grip part for user handling, a control board perpendicular to the optical axis, a storage part for the recording medium, and a heat dissipation duct connected to the storage part.

  • The image pickup apparatus has a unique design that allows for effective cooling of the recording medium without adding bulk to the overall size.
  • The control board is positioned perpendicular to the optical axis, optimizing space and allowing for efficient heat dissipation.
  • The storage part is strategically placed on the control board, separate from the grip part, to prevent overlap and ensure proper storage of the recording medium.
  • The heat dissipation duct is connected to the storage part, facilitating the cooling process and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
  • This innovative design helps to improve the overall performance and longevity of the image pickup apparatus.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various industries where image pickup devices are used, such as photography, videography, surveillance, and medical imaging. - It can also be integrated into smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics for improved image capture capabilities.

Problems Solved: - Efficient cooling of recording medium - Minimization of size increase in image pickup apparatus - Optimal heat dissipation for prolonged use

Benefits: - Enhanced performance and reliability of image pickup apparatus - Extended lifespan of recording medium - Improved user experience with better heat management

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Image Pickup Apparatus for Enhanced Cooling Efficiency This technology can be utilized in professional cameras, security cameras, medical imaging devices, and consumer electronics to improve image quality and device longevity. The market implications include increased demand for high-performance image capture devices in various industries.

Questions about Image Pickup Apparatus: 1. How does the unique design of the image pickup apparatus contribute to efficient cooling and size reduction? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in different industries and consumer electronics?


Original Abstract Submitted
