English translations of Japanese patents can be found at Japan platform for patent information [[1]]. Note that the English interface provides translation and Japanese images, but does not have option to give OCR-ed Japanese text, use Japanese interface to get it [[2]]. Nor does the site allow direct linking to pages. Many patents become known to general public via [Egami blog] (new link? [[3]]). European Patent Office (EPO) site is much better in most regards than JP-PLAT, however, some Japanese patent publications are missing from EPO site. Google patents is easier to browse, but is even less complete.

  2. ↑ also has sketch of body like Casio Exilim EX-S20
