YOKE FOR A SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A MEDICAL LAMP
A yoke for a suspension system for a medical lamp comprises a rigid yoke member having a first end and a second end, a first revolving joint-component fixed to the first end, wherein the first revolving joint has a first rotation axis, and a second revolving joint-component fixed to the second end, wherein the second revolving joint has a second rotation axis. The first rotation axis is included in a plane and the second rotation axis intersects the plane or is included in the plane, and the first rotation axis and a projection, onto the plane, of the second rotation axis intersecting the plane or the second rotation axis included in the plane enclose an angle (?) of more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

Sensor Mounting Device for Sensor Testing
Disclosed are a sensor mounting apparatus and associated method, e.g. for use in testing of a vehicle sensor in an anechoic chamber. The apparatus features a sensor mounting device for mounting the sensor and a vehicle part mounting device comprised of first, second and third frames. Each frame is movable in a different direction relative to the sensor and each other frame, e.g. either: adjustable forward and back, left and right, up and down, and/or via roll, yaw and pitch. The outermost third frame further includes an attachment means for holding a vehicle part (e.g. a vehicle fascia/bumper) in place and provision for further adjustment of the part relative to the sensor in use, e.g. via a pivot mounting enabling yaw movement.
CAMERA GIMBAL
A camera gimbal has a gearbox including a housing containing therein a central main gear secured to a bearing shaft in a fixed-position relative to the bearing shaft and at least one rotary damper secured to the housing at a fixed-location relative to the housing. The at least one rotary damper is engaged with the central main gear in a manner permitting rotation of the at least one rotary damper about a periphery of the main central gear such that the housing rotates about an axis of rotation extending longitudinally through the bearing shaft and the central main gear. A camera-mount extends from the housing. Gravity acting on the mass/weight of the camera and a counterweight causes rotation of the gearbox to maintain the camera in a relatively level position while the at least one rotary damper damps the rotational movement of the gearbox.
Stop device and aerial vehicle using the same
A stop device includes a motor rotor assembly including a rotating shaft, a first shift lever fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and including a first shifting part configured to rotate around an axis of the rotating shaft to form a first motion trajectory, and a second shift lever rotatably connected to the first shift lever and including a second shifting part partially within the first motion trajectory. The first shifting part is configured to drive the second shifting part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft to form a second motion trajectory. The stop device further includes a motor stator assembly sleeved on the rotating shaft and rotatably connected with the rotating shaft. The motor stator assembly includes a stopping boss located on a periphery of the first motion trajectory and partially within the second motion trajectory.
Articulating components for a head-mounted display
A device wearable upon a head of a user with an adjustable assembly is provided. The device may comprise a first assembly including a wearable portion, an arm having a first end portion and a second end portion positioned at an end of the arm opposite to the first end portion, and a first connector connected between the first assembly and the first end portion of the arm, the first connector including a detent assembly configured to releasably hold the arm in an in-use position at a first distance from the head of the user and in a stand-by position at a second distance greater than the first distance. The device may further include a second connector connected to the second end portion of the arm, and an output display connected to the second connector.
Movable bases for shade structures
A movable base for a shade structure such as an umbrella that is operable between a movable configuration and a braked configuration. The movable base includes a first frame, including a plurality of wheels, such as caster wheels, and a second, e.g., movable, frame that is actuatable relative to the first frame and wheels. In the movable position, a plurality of feed are raised and the wheels are in contact with a ground surface. In the fixed position, the feet of the second frame are in contact with the ground and/or the wheels are raised.
Multi-axial mast positioning system
A tiltable telescoping support structure positioning system includes a frame having first and second opposed vertical sections. A telescoping support structure is disposed between the first and second opposed vertical sections, the telescoping support structure having a plurality of telescoping sections extendable from a base section along a longitudinal axis thereof. The base section of the telescoping support structure is tiltably coupled to the first and second opposed vertical sections to permit the base section to tilt along a first tilt path towards either of the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame. A tilting mechanism is coupled between the base section of the telescoping support structure so as to tilt the telescoping support structure about a second tilt path aligned perpendicular to the tilt path between the first and second opposed vertical sections of the frame.
A HANDHELD STABILIZER
A handheld stabilizer comprises a handle provided with a handheld portion and a connecting portion. The stabilizer includes a ball head mechanism mounted between the connecting portion and a photographing device and adapted for adjusting the position of the photographing device. A control mechanism is adapted for controlling the motion of the ball head mechanism after receiving a location signal from the photographing device indicating that one or more human faces are not centered within a predefined location range in a screen of the photographing device. The control mechanism adjusts the position of the photographing device causing the one or more human faces to be centered within the predefined location range in the screen of the photographing device, so that a photographing function that tracks human faces is realized.
GENERATING OPTIMIZED TOOL PATHS AND MACHINE COMMANDS FOR BEAM CUTTING TOOLS
A facility for automated modelling of the cutting process for a particular material to be cut by a beam cutting tool, such as a waterjet cutting system, from empirical data to predict aspects of the waterjet's effect on the workpiece across a range of material thicknesses, across a range of cutting geometries, and across a range of cutting quality levels, all of which may be broader than, and independent of the actual requirements for a target workpiece, is described.
