The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a motion time-lapse photography device. The device includes an outer enclosure, base, motor, controlling circuitry, stepper-motor, a plurality of gears, a backlash mitigation membrane, and an external interface panel. Embodiments of the motion time-lapse photography device enable the capture of a sequence of photographs at an interval in coordination with axial movement in at least one rotational degree of freedom of a photographic capture device attached to the motion time-lapse photography device.

An accessory mount assembly includes a drive slide and a guide. The drive slide is connected to and linearly guided along the guide. A link is rotationally connected to the drive slide. A drive screw engages the drive slide to drive the drive slide. A mount is pivotably mounted and the mount is connected to the link to be pivoted by the link via a movement of the drive slide.

A trajectory record arm is disclosed, on which the connection apparatus is engaged in order to provide the transmission of the motion trajectory of a connection apparatus to a trajectory recording device. The trajectory record arm includes: at least one telescopic bar which is engaged on one side with at least one fastening element and on the other side with the connection apparatus such that freedom of rotation is allowed between the fastening element and the connection apparatus, at least one first sensor for detecting the movement between the telescopic bar and the fastening element, at least one second sensor for detecting the distance change between the fastening element and the connection apparatus based on the change in the length of the telescopic bar, at least one third sensor for detecting the movement of the connection apparatus in relation with the telescopic bar.

A device for handling spider-like sprues, includes a first support forming a first plane, the first support including a supporting device for supporting a wax spider-like sprue; a second support forming a second plane, the first support and the second support forming a first pre-determined angle (1); a first connection system between the first support and the second support; a third support forming a third plane, the second support and the third support forming a second pre-determined angle (2); and a second connection system between the second support and the third support.

A camera slider has a base and a tubular hollow arm pivotally attached to the base. A counterweight carriage is supported on the arm on carriage rollers. An electric drive motor moves the counterweight carriage linearly on top of the arm. A slider counterweight is movable from a first position, wherein the counterweight carriage is at or adjacent to a first end of the arm and the slider counterweight is at or adjacent to a second end of the arm, and a second position wherein the counterweight carriage is at the second end of the arm, opposite from the first end, and the slider counterweight is at or adjacent to the first end of the arm.

A system for mounting a flat panel television or display to a surface such as a wall. A base plate is configured to operatively connect to a surface, while an adapter plate is configured to operatively connect to a display device. A plurality of connecting arms are used to operatively connect the base plate to the adapter plate. Each of the plurality of connecting arms includes a base plate engagement portion slidably engageable with slots in the base plate and an adapter plate engagement portion operatively connected to the adapter plate. Movement of the base plate engagement portions within the base plate's slots results in a translational movement of the adapter plate relative to the base plate.

A Bi-Pod cantilever mount and method for supporting laser metrology equipment on a surface. The cantilever mount includes an adjustable mast and legs for adjustably positioning the laser metrology equipment on one or more surfaces. The adjustability of the mount optimizes the ability to utilize the laser metrology equipment at locations where it has been traditionally difficult to take readings.

A boot assembly for use with a leg on a support stand of a lighting fixture, including a body portion formed by a side wall defining a recess having a top opening, and a base portion including a substantially planar bottom surfacer, a top wall, and a perimeter side wall extending therebetween, wherein the body portion extends upwardly from the top wall of the base portion and a distal end of the leg is slidably received in the recess of the body portion.

A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.

A system includes a vehicle image capture system having a support structure, a telescoping hollow support beam, a second hollow support beam, a securing device, a support beam mount, a memory device storing instructions, and one or more processors configured to execute instructions to perform the steps of a method to position the vehicle image capture device and capture an image of a vehicle interior. The telescoping hollow support beam may include an outer telescoping component and an inner telescoping component attached by the securing device, and the second hollow support beam may be attached to the telescoping hollow support beam by the support beam mount. The system may further include a battery component, one or more positional sensors, and one or more electromechanical motors to adjust the position of one or more components of the system to capture a centered image of a vehicle interior.
