I need an interpreter
Canon Rumors needs a patent interpreter. Someone with the technical knowledge to read and translate patents that come up from time to time. Send me a message if you want to be that person. The position won't be paid.
A patent I can read
An imaging-device cleaning apparatus is attached to a camera by engaging with a lens mount of the camera typically used for attaching a camera lens. The imaging-device cleaning apparatus includes a nozzle for removing dust and dirt in the vicinity of an imaging section of the camera, and a motor and a fan for supplying air to the nozzle to remove the dust and dirt from the vicinity of an image sensor of the camera.

Can’t see this working, the Nozzel would need to be behind the mirror before the air sucked enought to remove dirt. Still A+ for effort.
I’ll give them credit for at least trying.
2 months and 7 days late!
First!
since this appears to blow air INTO the sensor box, when can we expect B&W, HOYA, Tiffen, ETC to introduce screw on, thin frame, non-vingetting, super multi-coated HEPA filters? :-P
