Carrier-assisted tracking
A method includes receiving selection of a target within an image captured by an image sensor of a payload and displayed on a user interface of the payload, detecting a deviation of the target from an expected target state within the image, generating, based at least partly on the deviation, a payload control signal including a first angular velocity for rotating the payload about an axis of the carrier to reduce the deviation about the axis in a subsequent image, and generating a base support control signal including a second angular velocity for rotating the payload with respect to the axis. When the first and second angular velocities are received, the carrier is controlled to rotate the payload at a third angular velocity about the axis. The third angular velocity is the first angular velocity, the second angular velocity, or a combination of both.

Body-mounted or object-mounted camera system
An object or body-mounted camera apparatus for recording surgery is provided that is adapted for tracking a relevant visual field of an on-going operation. To help maintain visibility and/or focus of the visual field, specific machine learning approaches are proposed in combination with control commands to shift a physical positioning or a perspective of the camera apparatus. Additional variations are directed to tracking obstructions based on the visual field of the camera, which can be utilized for determining a primary recording for use when there are multiple cameras being used in concert.
TRIPOD WITH SYSTEM FOR LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE LEGS
The present disclosure relates to a tripod comprising a connecting element, at least three legs coupled to said connecting element, each leg being divided into at least two sections able to slide with respect to each other. Each leg provides locking and unlocking means of the sliding movement between the sections of the respective leg. Said tripod further provides an actuation element of said locking and unlocking means. Said tripod is characterized in that said actuation element is arranged on said connecting element, and in comprising transmission means arranged on the connecting element connected to said actuation element and to said locking/unlocking means of each leg and in that said tripod is configured so that by acting on said actuation element said transmission means act simultaneously on said locking/unlocking means of each leg preventing/allowing the sliding movement between said sections of each leg.
SYSTEM FOR ADJUSTABLY HANGING AN ITEM FROM A POLE
A hanging system includes a bracket configured to adjustably mount at a pole and a rope extending through a pulley at the pole. The bracket includes a body defining a passageway and an arm extending from the body and including a hanging element. The passageway receives the pole. When the bracket is mounted at the pole, the rope is connected at a connecting element of the bracket, extends upward along the pole, through the pulley, and downward along a channel formed along the bracket. With no external force applied at the rope, an inner surface of the body engages the pole to, due to a frictional force between the bracket and pole, retain the bracket at a position along the pole. Responsive to an external force applied at the rope in the downward direction, the external force overcomes the frictional force and the bracket moves upward along the pole.

DISPLAY DEVICE
Disclosed is a display device. The display device of the present disclosure may include: a base; a head spaced apart from the base and including a display panel; a pole extending from the base in a direction in which the head is spaced apart from the base; an articulated connector coupled to the head; an elevating module movably coupled to the pole in a length direction of the pole; and an arm extending in a direction intersecting the head and the pole, the arm having one side connected to the articulated connector and the other side connected to the elevating module.
DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING SIDE SURFACE DISPLAY PANEL
A display apparatus including a front surface display panel including a side part that has a first mounting surface that is tilted, and at least one terminal arranged in the first mounting surface; a side surface display panel having a second mounting surface that is tilted so as to correspond to the first mounting surface, and the side surface display panel including at least one terminal arranged in the second mounting surface, wherein the side surface display panel is connected to the side part of the front surface display panel with the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface facing each other, and the at least one terminal arranged in the first mounting surface is electronically connected to the at least one terminal arranged in the second mounting surface, respectively, to electronically connect the front surface display panel and the side surface display panel.
Compact First Person View (FPV) Pan and Tilt Camera Mount
A compact first-person-view (FPV) pan and tilt camera mount is installed in a remote-controlled vehicle, and the vehicle is configured to accommodate a video processing module/air unit, a camera module, and a horizontal and vertical rotatable (pan and tilt) camera mount module. A realistic scale remote-controlled scale vehicle typically comes with interior cabin or cockpit space to accommodate driver/pilot that can be utilized to install the pan & tilt camera module. The video processing module is configured to process images shot by the camera module. The camera is mounted on the pan and tilt module. The pan and tilt module includes a first servo, a base, a movable seat, a rotation module, a clamp portion, and an accommodation portion. The first servo has a first shaft, the movable seat has a fitting seat, and the fitting seat has a connection orifice. The rotation module has a first semi-circular gear and a second semi-circular gear meshing. The accommodation portion is formed on the movable seat and is configured to receive a second servo, and the second servo has a second shaft.
MECHANICAL NON-BINARY SWAY TILE DISPLAY
One variation of the tile display includes a set of tile assemblies, each tile assembly includes: a base plate; a tile panel; a tile interface; and a set of linear actuator assemblies arranged in a radial pattern about the base plate and cooperating to constrain the tile panel in angular roll, linear heave, and linear sway motion relative to the base plate. Each linear actuator assembly includes: a bearing housing defining a linear bearing, a floating bearing, and a through-hole; an actuator mounted to the bearing housing; a distal link coupled to the tile interface; a first support boom running through the linear bearing; a second support boom running through the floating bearing; and a driven boom running through the through-hole of the bearing housing. Each tile assembly also includes a primary controller configured to maneuver tile panels over ranges of angular pitch, angular yaw, and linear surge positions.
