A camera system with six faces and a front housing is configured to capture images and audio content from external the camera body. The camera system includes an interior audio assembly protected from external environments by a waterproof membrane. The camera system includes drainage ports on the bottom face and the left face of the camera system to encourage moisture to drain from the system. A first drainage channel couples the internal audio assembly to the first drainage port on left face of the camera system and a second drainage channel couples the drainage port on the left face of the camera system to the drainage port on the bottom face of the camera system. A third drainage channel exists between the front face of the camera system and the front housing, the third drainage channel coupling the first and second drainage channels.

The present disclosure presents infant soothing devices which provide timed, color, and intensity controlled light and sound projections to assist in sleep therapy. The devices may be part of a smart nursery which has a number of electronically connected devices which communicate with a central electronic application to gather information and provide operation instructions to the devices. The smart nursery may be connected to a larger network to provide feedback and controllability outside of the nursery.

A wastewater monitoring system uses a camera in a fixed location in a wastewater pipe. The camera is coupled to a sensor that measures some characteristic of material in the wastewater pipe. The sensor is programmed with one or more alarms that, when triggered, cause the sensor to wake up the camera and command the camera to take one or more photos. Sensor data, such as current time/date, location, and the characteristics of material in the wastewater pipe, is sent by the sensor to the camera, which overlays one or more photos with visible text information corresponding to the received sensor data. The sensor can wake up the camera and command the camera to turn on the camera's Wi-Fi interface, which allows a wastewater control system in a remote location to communicate directly with the camera.

A shoe apparatus attachable to and detachable from an accessory shoe apparatus of an electronic apparatus in a first direction includes a plurality of connection terminals arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a shoe engagement portion engageable with the accessory shoe apparatus, and a terminal protecting portion configured to project from the shoe engagement portion toward a tip side in the first direction and to protect the plurality of connection terminals. The plurality of connection terminals are exposed in a direction orthogonal to the first and second directions from the terminal protecting portion, and include slopes that tilt in an exposed direction from inside to outside in the second direction on both sides in the second direction of the terminal protecting portion.

A remotely controllable modular video production kit over a data network has a hinged case having a case bottom, a case top, a case handle, and a case latch operable to open and close the case, a video production camera mounted to a tripod head assembly, in turn mounted to a mounting plate secured against the back wall of the case top, a video monitor mounted to the video production camera by an extension boom arm, a computer processing unit (CPU) disposed within the case bottom within a compartment provided therein for the purpose, a production light source mounted to the mounting plate against the back wall of the case top, a network modem connected to the CPU, and a power supply disposed within the compartment formed in the case bottom, the power supply including a power on power off switch.

The light bulb image projector is a projector. The light bulb image projector is electrically powered. The light bulb image projector is configured for use as a substitute for a light bulb in a lamp. The light bulb image projector replaces the light bulb in the lamp. The light bulb image projector screws into the lamp using an Edison screw. The light bulb image projector draws electric energy from the Edison screw. The light bulb image projector incorporates a bulb structure, a projector circuit, and a personal data device. The projector circuit mounts in the bulb structure. The personal data device controls the operation of the projector circuit.
