In one aspect of the present disclosure, a gimbal assembly is described for use with an image capturing device. The gimbal assembly includes a motor assembly, a first housing defining an internal compartment that is configured and dimensioned to receive the motor assembly, and a second housing that is mechanically connected to the motor assembly such that actuation of the motor assembly causes relative rotation between the first and second housings. The first housing includes a first guide that is configured and dimensioned to support transmission media adapted to communicate electrical and/or digital signals. The second housing defines a channel that is configured and dimensioned to receive the first guide such that the first guide extends into the second housing through the channel. The transmission media is supported on the first guide such that the first guide routes the transmission media from the first housing into the second housing.

A fishing rod butt includes a tubular member defining a proximal end and a distal end. The distal end of the tubular member is configured to be coupled with a fishing rod. A gimbal assembly is supported at the proximal end of the tubular member. The gimbal assembly includes a gimbal rotatably coupled with the proximal end of the tubular member. The gimbal allows the tubular member to rotate with respect to the gimbal. A washer is arranged between the proximal end of the tubular member and the gimbal. The washer prevents the proximal end of the tubular member from directly contacting the gimbal.

The disclosure relates to a machine comprising; a fixed lower platform having a first connecting area; a movable upper platform having an operating area and a second connecting area; at least three limbs, each limb comprising a lower section, an upper section and an intermediate section between said lower section and said upper section; wherein each limb interconnects said fixed lower platform and said movable upper platform by joining said first connecting area and said second connecting area, wherein said lower section of each limb comprises a first part of a first prismatic joint, wherein, the first connecting area comprises a cooperating second part of said first prismatic joint; wherein said lower section of each limb further comprises a first revolute joint; wherein said intermediate section of each limb comprises a second prismatic joint, wherein said upper section of each limb comprises a second revolute joint; wherein each limb is pivotably movable relative to said movable upper platform; wherein each of said limbs comprise an actuation arrangement for moving the movable upper platform relative to the fixed lower platform.

A self-balancing Two-Rotation Driving Mechanism (TRDM) uses parallelogram and has low weight, high load, high accuracy, quick response and good adaptation with multi equipment. A longitudinal rotation motor assembly is constrained fully with a base assembly and drives a longitudinal rotation assembly through connecting rod parallelogram. The lateral rotation motor assembly is assembled in the hub of a longitudinal rotation assembly and rotates an equipment clamping assembly in a lateral direction. Generally, the TRDM can drive equipment clamping assembly in two rotations, with longitudinal rotation in the range of ±45° and lateral rotation in range of ±20°. A rotation limitation is reached when limitation shafts touch the end of respective grooves.

A method and a system for detecting and positioning an intruder within a specified volume are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: periodically scanning using a laser detection and ranging (LADAR) device directing a laser beam, within the specified volume; collecting reflections of the laser beam arriving from objects within the volume; converting the reflections to LADAR signal indicative of spatiotemporal presence of objects within the volume; applying signal processing algorithms to the LADAR signals, to determine a presence of an intruder and respective orientation parameters, based on predefined criteria; directing a camera based on the orientation parameters associated with the intruder for continuously capturing images of the intruder; and analyzing the images by a computer processor and instructing the camera to track the intruder based on the analysis, to yield real-time tracking parameters of the intruder.

A machine-vision vehicle service system, and methods of operation, incorporating at least one gimbaled sensor module configured with at least one of a camera, an optical projector, or a range finder to acquire or convey data associated with surfaces in proximity to the vehicle service system for guiding placement of vehicle service components relative to a vehicle undergoing service. The gimbaled sensor module is operatively coupled to a processing system configured with software instructions to selectively control an orientation of the gimbaled guidance system about one or more axis of rotation, enabling observation, projection of visible indicia, or displacement measurement along an associated sensor axis parallel with one of the axis of rotation during vehicle service procedures.

A gimbal having a split design, which can be used in an assembly for actuating an aerodynamic high lift device, is described. The gimbal enables a rotating load path when a force is transferred from the actuator to the high lift device via the gimbal. In particular, the split design can include two receivers which can be coupled to posts extending from a nut. The nut can be secured to a shaft which receives a force generated by the actuator. In one embodiment, the actuator can rotate the shaft to cause the gimbal to translate along the shaft. The split design provides a more compact form factor and is lighter in weight than traditional gimbal designs.

A load-stabilizing apparatus includes a load-connecting member configured to carry a load, a parallelogram mechanism connected to the load-connecting member, and a stabilizing motor drivingly connected to the parallelogram mechanism. The stabilizing motor is configured to drive the parallelogram mechanism to deform, such that the parallelogram mechanism drives the load-connecting member to move.

The present disclosure provides an overlapping spliceable display apparatus including a fixing assembly on a back of a display module, for fixing the display module to a support, the fixing assembly includes: an angle adjusting structure, which is connected to the display module, for adjusting an angle of a display surface of the display module in a first plane perpendicular to the display surface; and a position adjusting structure, which is connected to the angle adjusting structure and the support, for adjusting positions of the display module in a first direction, a second direction and a third direction, wherein any two of the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, the first direction and the second direction are each parallel to the first plane, and the third direction is perpendicular to the first plane.

A stabilization degree adjustment method includes obtaining a stabilization degree adjustment instruction and adjusting a stabilization degree of a stabilization mechanism according to the stabilization degree adjustment instruction. The stabilization mechanism is configured to support a load.
