TELESCOPING SUPPORT STAND APPARATUS
A telescoping support stand comprising handle mounted below a connection housing and a plurality of extendable legs pivotably engaged near the top of the connection housing.
Telescoping extension device for camera phones
A telescoping extension device for camera phones utilizes an extendable, telescoping pole, a control handle located at the first end of the pole, and a camera phone holder designed to support a camera phone attached at the upper or second end of the pole. A propeller blade assembly, consisting of propeller blades and an electric motor, is attached to the second end of the pole. A propeller blade control switch located on the control handle provides a remote signal to the motor to control the off and on rotation and speed of the blades. By actuating the motor and rotating the blades, a “helicopter” effect is created, resulting in the second end of the pole to be lifted, thereby increasing the photographic field of vision of the camera phone.
SUPPORTING STRUCTURE AND DISPLAY DEVICE USING THE SAME
A display device which can elevate and rotate to a position includes a base, a controlling member mounted to the base, and a supporting frame. A display is mounted on the supporting frame, and a first magnetic piece is positioned on the controlling member. A second magnetic piece is positioned on the supporting frame. The first and second magnetic pieces are configured to attract each other. The controlling member includes a first elastic piece between the base and the supporting frame. The first elastic piece retracts to enable the supporting frame to rotate. The controlling member can slide to detach the second magnetic piece from the first magnetic piece, and the first elastic piece retracts to allow an upward rotation of the supporting frame thereby changing height of the display.
Multiple device content management
The description relates to cooperatively controlling devices based upon their location and pose. One example can receive first sensor data associated with a first device and second sensor data associated with a second device. This example can analyze the first sensor data and the second sensor data to determine relative locations and poses of the first device relative to the second device and can supply the locations and poses to enable content to be collectively presented across the devices based upon the relative locations and poses.
Devices and methods for generating a 3D imaging dataset of an object
A computerized imaging system and method for creating a 3D imaging dataset of an object are disclosed. The computerized imaging system includes an object stage mounted on a system base plate, the object stage is configured to rotate 360 degrees around its axis perpendicular to the base plate plane. The computerized imaging system includes an elongated elevation arm positioned alongside the object stage, wherein the elongated elevation arm having an image sensor, at least one lens, and a mirror mounted thereon, and wherein the optical axis of the image sensor is parallel to the elongated elevation arm elevation axis. The image sensor is used to capture a plurality of images of the object in a plurality of rotation and elevation angles of the object stage and elongated elevation arm.
ADJUSTABLE BRACKET FOR DISPLAY DEVICE
The invention relates to an adjustable bracket for a display device. The adjustable bracket includes a mounting seat for being fixed to an object surface, a pylon for mounting the display device, and a connecting arm with two ends being rotatably connected to the mounting seat and the pylon, respectively. The mounting seat is provided with a lifting means and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting a retraction state of the pylon therein. The bracket is suitable for a variety of display devices of various specifications, and the pylon is adjustable in three dimensions relative to the mounting seat, thereby meeting the use requirements. The power structure is built to protect itself and to avoid safety hazards. A user can adjust the position of the pylon relative to the mounting seat by pulling and pushing, and the installation and debugging operation is simple, and an overall thickness of the bracket is small when the pylon and the mounting seat are closed up, and the storage space occupied by the bracket is small. The setting of the adjusting mechanism solves the problem of premature failure of a boosting unit caused by over-reliance on its own strength.
Medical stand apparatus
A medical stand apparatus includes a cylindrical lower arm that accommodates an upper arm divided into sections, so that only the lower arm is visible from the outside and so that a drape can tightly be fastened to the lower arm. The upper arm sections are connected to each other through a shaft that is guided along an arc groove of a bracket. This configuration is beneficial to reduce a diameter of the lower arm when the upper and lower arms are curved.
CAMERA
The disclosure relates to a camera, comprising a housing, an electronics unit comprising a processor, and an image sensor unit comprising an image sensor and a lens support, the electronics unit being fixed inside the housing, the image sensor unit being slidable inside the housing, the housing being provided with a window through which a scene is viewable for the image sensor, the image sensor unit being slidable relative to the housing so as to allow adjustment of a distance between the image sensor and the window along an adjustment direction, wherein the electronics unit and the image sensor unit are connected to each other via a flexible cable for transmittal of digital image sensor output from the image sensor to the processor in the electronics unit.
Mobile device holder
A mobile device holder includes an attachment assembly and a support assembly. The attachment assembly includes a magnet enclosed in a shell. When brought into proximity to a magnetic part of a mobile device, the magnet causes the mobile device holder to be attached to the mobile device by magnetic attraction. The magnet has a ring shape. Toward the center of the ring-shaped magnet, the attachment assembly has an accommodating recess. The support assembly includes a handle that is movable on a hinge in and out of the accommodating recess. The joint permits the handle to rotate about a first axis and a second axis not parallel to the first axis.
LOCKING RELEASE MECHANISM FOR AN ARTICULATED SUPPORT ARM
Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.
