A mount for mounting an object, such as non-exclusively a radar sensor, on a surface, such as one of a vehicle, the mount comprising: a carrier; a fixed length strut which has a fixed length from a mounting point arranged to engage the surface and a pivot point about which it is mounted pivotally on the carrier; and two variable length struts, which each have a variable length from a mounting point arranged to engage the surface and a pivot point about which it is mounted pivotally on the carrier.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for positioning at least one optical element (22), wherein the apparatus (1) comprises at least one movable carrier (20) for holding the optical element (22), at least one fixed support portion (10) for supporting the carrier (20), connecting means for connecting the carrier and the support portion, and actuating means for creating forces to influence the relative position of the carrier (20) to the support portion (10). The apparatus (1) is characterized in that the connecting means comprise at least one retention device (32) for applying tension force between the carrier (20) and the support portion (10) and at least one bearing (31), wherein the bearing (31) comprises a first bearing magnet (311), wherein at least a part of the surface (3121) of the first bearing magnet (312) has the shape of a partial sphere and a second bearing magnet (312), wherein at least part of the surface (3111) of the second bearing magnet (311) has the shape of a partial hollow sphere for at least partially receiving the partial sphere surface (3121) of the first bearing magnet (312), wherein the first and second bearing magnets (311, 312) are permanent magnets and are arranged such that the opposing magnet poles of the first and second bearing magnet (311, 312) are facing each other. Also a system for directing a beam, in particular a laser beam, including at least one positioning apparatus is disclosed.

A supporting stand is provided. The supporting stand includes an upright, a slidable clipping unit, a slider, an elastic element, and a bearing board. The upright includes a column body. The slidable clipping unit clamps the column body, and includes a structural sleeve element and a contact element. The contact element has a first contact body and a second contact body being rollable relative to the column body. The elastic element is connected to the column body and the structural sleeve element. The slider is configured to the structural sleeve element. The bearing board is disposed on the slider and bears the display. When an external force is applied, the structural sleeve element makes the slider move between a highest position and a lowest position, and when the external force is removed, the slider stops at any position between the highest position and the lowest position.

A display device includes a head including a display formed on a front surface thereof, a circumference having a pair of long sides and a pair of short sides, and one or more first speakers provided on a left short side and one or more second speakers provided on a right short side of the display and configured to be pivotable between a landscape mode in which the long sides are in a horizontal state and a portrait mode in which the long sides are in a vertical state, a sensor configured to detect pivot of the head, and a processor configured to determine a pivot state indicating whether the head is in the landscape mode or the portrait mode based on a result of detection and switch sound signals output by the first speakers and the second speakers when the pivot state of the head is switched.

A suspension assembly is described. The suspension assembly including a static member or plate; a moving member or plate movable about an x-axis and a y-axis with respect to the static plate; a sensor mounting region on the moving plate; and one or more shape memory alloy (SMA) elements extending between and coupled to the static plate and moving plate. The SMA elements, when driven by a controller, move the moving plate and the sensor mounting region thereon about the x-axis and the y-axis with respect to the static plate.

A display apparatus includes a base, a stand, a head having a display and pivotable between a landscape mode and a portrait mode, a penetration groove, an inner bracket disposed inside the head and having a slit formed therein to face the penetration groove, a shaft including a first extension connected to the stand and extending to an inside of the head through the penetration groove and a second extension extending from an end of the first extension to pass through the slit, a long hole formed in the second extension and extending in a longitudinal direction of the second extension, a guide pin fixed to an inside of the head to pass through the long hole, a slider sliding along the second extension, and a spring disposed on an outer circumference of the second extension and configured to pressurize the slider to maintain contact between the slider and the inner bracket.

A camera mount assembly for holding a camera or other perception sensor that may be fixed with respect to a ground plane and used for incremental angle measurement of the camera or other perception sensor in three axes, such that the precise spatial relationships of imaged objects with respect to the orientation/position of the camera or other perception sensor may be determined. A base structure of the camera mount assembly may be affixed to a fixed or moveable support structure and multiple leveling devices and/or laser devices are provided to establish a reliable reference relative to the ground plane. Thus, the exact orientation of the camera or other perception sensor in space may be determined frame to frame, such that the precise orientation of imaged objects with respect to the orientation/position of the camera or other perception sensor relative to the ground plane may be determined over time.

A multi-media tablet holder is provided and includes a first retention member, a second retention member, a pair of slide pins, at least one extension spring and a handle. The first retention member includes a first retention plate and a first retention rail. The second retention member includes a second retention plate and a second retention rail. The first and second retention rails are sized to receive a thickness of a multi-media tablet. There is also provided a multi-media tablet holder including a retention member, a handle assembly and an articulating mechanism for pivoting and rotating the retention member relative to the handle assembly.

In a leveling unit for imprinting and an imprint apparatus having the leveling unit, the leveling unit includes a base plate, a moving plate and a plurality of link parts. The moving plate is spaced apart from the base plate, and has a reference plane heading for an opposite direction of the base plate. The plurality of link parts connects the base plate with the moving plate, is spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance along a circumferential direction with respect to a center of the reference plane, and is elastically and independently transformed by a pressing force applied to the reference plane to adjust an inclination of the moving plate.

A stand having a base, an arm attached to the base, an electrical connector, and an adjustable mounting head attached to the arm. The adjustable mounting head includes a plurality of keepers actuated by a button, wherein the plurality of keepers are each configured to engage a respective one of a plurality of receivers on a case for an electronic device such that the case is removably attachable to the adjustable mounting head for holding the case and an installed electronic device on the stand in a preferred orientation. The mounting head includes electrical contacts electrically connected to the electrical connector of the stand and configured to contact an electrical interface of the case for providing the electrical power from the electrical connector of the stand to the installed electronic device through the electrical contacts of the mounting head and through the case.
