Canon Patent for Curved Diaphragm

Egami (translated) spotted another patent filed by Canon (we had more Canon patents lately: 1 | 2 | 3).
The patent refers to the implementation of a curved diaphragm. I guess this could be very useful for miniaturization purposes. Is there another super-small DSLR like the Rebel Sl1 [shoplink 11240](price & specs)[/shoplink] coming?
