RIP Chuck Westfall: One of the photography legends has passed away

Chuck Westfall passed away today after a 7 year fight with kidney cancer.

I have never personally met Chuck, but have exchanged a few emails with him and found him to be an exceptionally open and excellent person to talk to.

He joined Canon in 1982 and spearheaded the early development of Canon's early DSLR's and grew to the rank of Technical Advisor.

He was always available to talk about Canon cameras and their technology and was simply just a great human being.

There's an article with more information on PetaPixel.

RIP Chuck, you will be missed by all of us.  We wish his family and friends condolences for their huge loss.

How to view Japan Patent applications.

Unfortunately, there's no direct way of linking to the patent application (sad!) however, this is the easiest process to view a japan patent or application.

  1. Go to the Japan Patent Office search page.
  2. If it's a patent application (they are usually in the format of Year-Number ie: 2017-011300) then type the patent application number into the second field down from the top where it says publication of patent application. 
  3. Click on search.
  4. Then click on the patent application number link, and there's the patent application!
