Cheung Cameras for Parents Buyers Guide Canon Casio April 18, 2007 – Every photographer has experienced the letdown of an out-of-focus picture that is otherwise perfect. Blame it on the photographer or blame it on the auto focus, but call the blurry photo lost Fuji for good – until now. Scientists at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL) last GE week announced the heterodyne light field camera that makes refocusing after capture possible. Using coded aperture that can increase depth of field by 10 Hasselblad times, the camera essentially deblurs an image after it is captured, according to HP the researchers. Kodak “[Out-of-focus pictures are] the Holy Grail problem,” said MERL Senior Leica Researcher Scientist Ramesh Raskar in an interview with DigitalCameraInfo.com. “But we can change the original image which is extremely beneficial.” Nikon Olympus Changing 2D into 4D with a Crossword Puzzle: Panasonic How Optical Heterodyning Works Pentax After two years of development, the MERL project was accepted last week into the Siggraph Conference, which is the international computer graphics convention Ricoh that will be held this August in San Diego.

NIKON REPORT 2018 Unleashing the Limitless Possibilities of Light
NIKON REPORT 2018 Year Ended March 31, 2018 Unlock the future with the power of light Unleashing the limitless possibilities of light. Striving to brighten the human experience. Focused, with purpose, on a better future for all. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF NIKON. Creation of New Value by Unlocking the Future with the Power of Light Throughout a century since its founding, Nikon has continued to win customer trust by contributing to the development of society with products and solutions based on its core opto-electronics and precision technologies. The technologies, the human resources, and the brand cultivated through this process have become reliable strengths supporting Nikon today. After completing the restructuring that began in November 2016, it will be crucial to further hone these strengths and fulfill our role as the “new eyes for people and industry” in order to create new value and support our growth strategies. Our vision formulated in 2017 will guide us in fostering corporate culture in which each employee is encouraged to think about what is necessary in order to accomplish growth and to tackle the challenges this introspection reveals. With this culture, everyone at Nikon will unite in our quest to consistently create corporate value. Nikon Report 2018 puts a spotlight on the value we have provided thus far and the strengths cultivated over the years. Moreover, the report seeks to communicate the basis for the growth strategies to be implemented after the completion of the restructuring and the tasks that will need to be addressed in order to effectively implement those strategies. -

NEC Electronics and Renesas to Integrate Business Operations Establishment of the World’S Third Largest Semiconductor Company
NEC Electronics and Renesas to Integrate Business Operations Establishment of the World’s Third Largest Semiconductor Company KAWASAKI, Japan, TOKYO, Japan, April 27, 2009 -- NEC Electronics Corporation (NEC Electronics; TSE: 6723), Renesas Technology Corp. (Renesas), NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), Hitachi, Ltd. (Hitachi; TSE: 6501 / NYSE: HIT), and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Mitsubishi Electric; TSE: 6503) today agreed to enter into negotiations to integrate business operations at NEC Electronics and Renesas. 1. Background and goals of business integration NEC Electronics was established in 2002, separating from NEC, and Renesas was established in 2003, integrating semiconductor units at Hitachi and Mitsubishi Electric. Both as leading semiconductor companies, NEC Electronics and Renesas provide a wide variety of semiconductor solutions, primarily specializing in microcontroller units (MCUs). In light of fierce global competition in the semiconductor market, NEC Electronics and Renesas have agreed to explore the possibility of business integration in order to further strengthen their business foundations and technological assets while increasing corporate value through enhanced customer satisfaction. By integrating the world’s two largest MCU suppliers (*1), the new company will provide one of the most competitive MCU product lineups throughout the world. NEC Electronics and Renesas both focus on the fast-growing field of system-on-chip (SoCs) products. NEC Electronics is a leading producer of SoCs for digital consumer electronics, while Renesas is a well established manufacturer of SoCs for mobile phones and automotive applications. By reinforcing the companies’ respective strengths and development resources the new company will provide globally competitive SoC products. In terms of the discrete semiconductor business, both companies will define strategies to enhance the competitiveness of analog and discrete products that generate synergies with MCUs.
