Height adjustable monitor arm mounting assembly
A height adjustable monitor arm assembly includes a monitor arm having a latch mechanism where a post arm includes indented rings therein for engaging the latch mechanism. The monitor arm includes an aperture for positioning the at least one monitor arm over the post arm so that the latching mechanism engages with one of the plurality of indented rings to vertically adjust the at least one monitor arm along the length of the post arm. Further, a dual adapter arm also includes its own latching mechanism and mounts over the vertical post arm for use where monitor displays can be mounted on both ends thereof. In one embodiment, a four monitor configuration can be held in position allowing for enhanced user utility in their workspace.
Calibration Support, and Positioning Method for Calibration Element Applied to Calibration Support
A calibration support includes a support body (100) configured to mount a calibration element, the calibration element being configured to calibrate a driving assistance system of a vehicle (500); an image acquisition device (200) connected to the support body (100) and configured to acquire an image of the vehicle (500); a processing device (300) provided on the support body (100), electrically connected to the image acquisition device (200), and configured to calculate, according to the image acquired by the image acquisition device (200), the movement position of the support body (100) relative to the vehicle (500) and output a control signal comprising the movement position; and a control device (400) provided on the support body (100), electrically connected to the processing device (300), and configured to receive the control signal and control the support body (100) to move.
NANOPOSITIONING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A nanoscale positioning system for positioning a positionable component includes a motion platform including a first end, a second end, a shuttle positioned between the first end and the second end and configured to support the positionable component, a flexure member, and a fluid passage extending through the flexure member from the first end to the second end of the motion platform, and a pressure controller coupled to the motion platform and fluidically connected to the fluid passage, wherein the pressure controller is configured to selectably provide a fluid pressure in the fluid passage to flex the flexure member whereby the shuttle is displaced along a motion axis of the motion platform.
Systems and methods for a self-stabilizing platform
A platform to be used to secure objects for delivery by air. As a platform is lowered toward the ground, the legs of the platform touch the ground and interact with each other to stabilize the platform. A stable platform does not tip over. The platform may stabilize itself even when lowered onto uneven terrain. As the platform is lowered, the legs, except the last leg, move upward or inside the body of the platform until the last leg touches the terrain. On uneven terrain, the legs of the platform move upward or inside different amounts, so the legs have different lengths. The last leg to touch locks the other legs so that they cannot move up or down thereby stabilizing the platform. An incompressible material is used to detect when the last leg touches the terrain and to lock the other legs.

Multi-configuration clamp system for electronic device
A support system which allows for the use and mounting of a smart phone, or similar electronic device, in a variety of ways. The support system may be adapted to function as a hand grip while supporting the smart phone during image acquisition, or while watching images on the smart phone. In another configuration, the support system may be adapted to attach to the user's belt. In another configuration, the support system may function as a support stand. In another configuration, the support system may be mounted on a tripod. The support system may include a kit of parts which allow for the modification of support accessories to allow for different configurations. The support system may include a removable shutter which may actuate the camera functions via wireless communication.
DEVICE FOR HOLDING AND SUPPORTING ARTICLES
An apparatus (10) for holding and supporting articles including support means (20) having receiving means (25, 26, 27), one or more elongate members (30, 32, 34) each having a first end adapted to fit into said receiving means (25, 26, 27) of the support means (20), connector means (40) adapted to fit to a second end of any one or more elongate members (30, 32, 34) for releasably engaging a respective article.
MECHANICAL SHOCK RESISTANT MOTORIZED DRIVE ASSEMBLY
An electronic device can include a motor that rotates a shaft that is coupled to a gear. A belt or a chain can be placed in contract with the gear and other rotational devices. For optimum performance, the chain or chain should be adjusted to an optimum tension. The tension can be adjusted by moving the motor and securing the motor in a position the provided the optimum tension. Alternatively, the motor can be in a fixed rigid position and an idler pulley in contact with the belt or chain can be positioned to provide the optimum tension.
MOUNTING MEMBER
A mounting member for mounting a mobile device and a mobile device accessory of being fixed to one face of the mobile device and having a ring on an object, the mounting member includes a body, a slot portion being formed in a part of the body and having a receiving groove for receiving the ring and a pressing portion disposed inside the receiving groove and configured to elastically press the ring to be located in the receiving groove.
TRIPOD WITH CONNECTING COMPONENTS
Disclosed is a tripod. The tripod comprises a base body, a plurality of tripod tubes and a plurality of connecting components. An end of each tripod tube is pivotally connected to the base body. The plurality of tripod tubes is pivotally operated in relation to the base body either at a folded state or at an expanding state. The other end of the plurality of tripod tubes get being close to each other so as to be folded in the folded state, and the other end of the plurality of tripod tubes get being far from each other so as to be expanding in the expanding state. Each of the plurality of connecting components is pivotally connected between the tripod tubes adjacent to each other. the two connecting elements are pulled by the tripod tubes connected to the two connecting elements in such a manner that the connecting elements are pulled by each other to be a straight line so as to provide a steady force to support the adjacent tripod tubes and thus to provide stable supporting force for a photographic equipment.
