Multidimensional Rotary Motion Apparatus Moving a Reflective Surface and Method of Operating Same
A motion control system for controlling an image projected from an underwater projection system in a water feature includes a chassis, a mirror support coupled to the chassis, a mirror member on the mirror support, a first drive member, and a second drive member. The mirror member is configured to reflect the image projected from the underwater projection system in the water feature. The first drive member is coupled to the chassis and configured to rotate the mirror support relative to the chassis about a first axis to move the reflected image in the water feature. The second drive member is coupled to the chassis and a fixed mount and is configured to rotate the chassis and the mirror support about a second axis to move the reflected image in the water feature.

Dual-function seat actuator
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for an aircraft seat with a dual-function linear actuator. The linear actuator may activate a first adjustable feature by moving in a first direction, and the linear actuator may activate a second adjustable feature by moving in a second direction. The linear actuator may include a decoupling mechanism. The decoupling mechanism may decouple the first adjustable feature and the second adjustable feature from the linear actuator in response to loss of power to the linear actuator.
