ROTATABLE PICTURE HANGER
A rotatable hanger device comprises: a mounting part comprising a front and back, the first side of the back fastenable to a first surface and the second side of the back positioned adjacent to the first side, and an arm positioned between the back and front, and connecting the back and front; and a housing part comprising a front and back, the first side of the back fastenable to a second surface and the second side of the back positioned adjacent to the first side, the front comprising a cut-out along an edge, and a wall connecting the housing back and front; wherein, the cut-out is sized and shaped relative to a size and shape of the arm, and wherein, the mounting and housing parts interlock such that the mounting front rests between the first side of the housing front and the second side of the housing back.
Method For Adjusting Position Of Video Chat Window And Display Device
The disclosure provides a display device, and a method for adjusting a position of a video chat window. The method includes: when a video chat window is floating on a playing image for display, acquiring the position of the video chat window and a position of the focus when an instruction for moving a focus is received; determining, according to the position of the video chat window and the position of the focus, whether the video chat window blocks the focus; and in response to the video chat window blocking the focus, moving the video chat window from a current position to a first target position.
System and method for inspecting the condition of structures using remotely controlled devices
Disclosed is a system for inspecting a structure without physically contacting the structure. The system includes a remotely controlled device that includes a sonar/ultrasound transceiver, a camera and a mapping module for generating geotags corresponding to the structure. The remotely controlled device optionally includes an infrared camera and a lidar. As the remotely controlled device moves along or around the perimeter of the structure, the system collects acoustic, lidar, infrared and photogrammetry data to create a virtual model of the structure. Geotagged acoustic, infrared and lidar data identifying faults in the structure is overlaid on the virtual model of the structure.
Panoramic camera
A panoramic camera is provided with an orientation sensor to record orientation along with a panoramic image. The display or print image is selected from the captured panoramic image, a warped, non-scale-correct image. The selection of the display image is done using the orientation sensor. The orientation sensor data can be recorded with the panoramic image as metadata. The orientation sensor can also be used to control an external display and/or panoramic image selection during browsing.
Electronic tool and methods for meetings
An electronic meeting tool and method for communicating arbitrary media content from users at a meeting includes a node configuration adapted to operate a display node of a communications network, the display node being coupled to a first display. The node configuration is adapted to receive user selected arbitrary media content and to control display of the user selected arbitrary media content on the first display. A peripheral device adapted to communicate the user selected arbitrary media content via the communications network is a connection unit including a connector adapted to couple to a port of a processing device having a second display, a memory and an operating system, and a transmitter. A program is adapted to obtain user selected arbitrary media content, the program leaving a zero footprint on termination. The user may trigger a transfer of the user selected arbitrary media content to the transmitter.

Cable television apparatus with improved choke
A cable television apparatus is applied to an input coaxial cable and an output coaxial cable to transmit a cable television signal. The cable television apparatus includes an improved choke, an input side, an output side, an input capacitor and an output capacitor. The improved choke is electrically connected to the input coaxial cable, the output coaxial cable, the input side, the output side, the input capacitor and the output capacitor. The improved choke includes a conductive wire and a ferrite core. One side of the conductive wire is electrically connected to the input side and one side of the input capacitor. The other side of the conductive wire is electrically connected to the output side and one side of the output capacitor. The ferrite core covers one part of the conductive wire. Moreover, the ferrite core is a high saturation current ferrite core.

Multi-camera, multi-sensor panel data extraction system and method
A system and method are presented for combining visual recordings from a camera, audio recordings from a microphone, and behavioral data recordings from behavioral sensors, during a panel discussion. Cameras and other sensors can be assigned to specific individuals or can be used to create recordings from multiple individuals simultaneously. Separate recordings are combined and time synchronized, and portions of the synchronized data are then associated with the specific individuals in the panel discussion. Interactions between participants are determined by examining the individually assigned portions of the time synchronized recordings. Events are identified in the interactions and then recorded as separate event data associated with individuals.
User Interaction Paradigms For A Flying Digital Assistant
Methods and systems are described for new paradigms for user interaction with an unmanned aerial vehicle (referred to as a flying digital assistant or FDA) using a portable multifunction device (PMD) such as smart phone. In some embodiments, a user may control image capture from an FDA by adjusting the position and orientation of a PMD. In other embodiments, a user may input a touch gesture via a touch display of a PMD that corresponds with a flight path to be autonomously flown by the FDA.
