[OM] Olympus image stabilization, was: E-1 review

[Chuck Norcutt]

I did a brief search yesterday on uspto.gov looking for any Olympus 
patent on image stabilization and came up with nothing.  On the other 
hand, I got the same result for Minolta.  Some IS patents may be too new 
to have issued.  Minolta may also have bought rights to their anti-shake 
system from someone else.

I also tried to find any patent references to Olympus's ultrasonic 
sensor cleaning method.  Didn't find anything except lots and lots of 
ultrasonic patents related to medical devices.
