MODULAR WALL-MOUNTABLE DIGITAL JUKEBOX
A wall-mounted jukebox system for mounting adjacent to a wall-mounted external video display includes a jukebox having a controller configured to play digital music and/or digital video files, a communication module connected to the controller and configured for wireless and/or wired communication with one or more external devices, a video output port connected to the controller and configured to enable the jukebox to be connected to the wall-mounted external video display, and a cabinet housing the controller, communication module, and video output port. A mounting bracket is configured to receive the jukebox and to be affixed to the wall adjacent to the wall-mounted external video display. The jukebox lacks a physical user interface, a video display screen, and a physical payment acceptor, and selection of the digital music and/or digital video file for play by the controller and payment are received through the communication module from an external device.
Wheelchair Lift and Methods of Making and Using the Same
A removably mounted wheelchair lift device that can elevate the wheelchair and its user. The lift device has a novel lifting mechanism which has an upper plate, a lower plate, a knee plate, an upper interior link, an upper exterior link, a lower interior link, a lower exterior link and a transfer link. The various parts of the lifting mechanism are pivotally attached to one another in a manner which provides a linear and precise extension and retraction. Extension and retraction of the lifting mechanism is achieved by a rotary electric motor and gear drive which introduce a torque between adjacent parts of the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism maintains a parallel relationship between its top and bottom plates throughout its range of motion. The lift device may also be used in other applications where the level or angle of the equipment or surfaces being supported must remain constant regardless of height. Other applications may include, but are not limited to, supporting hospital beds, medical operation tables, manufacturing work stations, office work stations, pallet stand, and other warehouse and storage applications.
Height adjustable monitor arm mounting assembly
A height adjustable monitor arm assembly includes a monitor arm having a latch mechanism where a post arm includes indented rings therein for engaging the latch mechanism. The monitor arm includes an aperture for positioning the at least one monitor arm over the post arm so that the latching mechanism engages with one of the plurality of indented rings to vertically adjust the at least one monitor arm along the length of the post arm. Further, a dual adapter arm also includes its own latching mechanism and mounts over the vertical post arm for use where monitor displays can be mounted on both ends thereof. In one embodiment, a four monitor configuration can be held in position allowing for enhanced user utility in their workspace.
CALIBRATION BRACKET
A calibration bracket (100), comprising: a base (10); a stand component (20) connected to the base (10); a cross beam component (30, 30′) mounted to the stand component (20) and used for mounting a calibration element, which is used for calibrating an advanced driver assistant system of a vehicle; and a rotating component (40) mounted between the stand component (20) and the base (10), and used for driving the stand component (20) to pivot about a central axis of the stand component (20) relative to the base (10) so as to adjust an angle of rotation of the cross beam component (30, 30) relative to the central axis of the stand component (20). According to the structure, an angle of rotation of the cross beam component (30, 30′) relative to the central axis of the stand component (20) can be adjusted, so that the rotation of the cross beam component (30, 30′) is free from the mounting position. The calibration bracket is simple in structure, and convenient to carry.
Calibration Support, and Positioning Method for Calibration Element Applied to Calibration Support
A calibration support includes a support body (100) configured to mount a calibration element, the calibration element being configured to calibrate a driving assistance system of a vehicle (500); an image acquisition device (200) connected to the support body (100) and configured to acquire an image of the vehicle (500); a processing device (300) provided on the support body (100), electrically connected to the image acquisition device (200), and configured to calculate, according to the image acquired by the image acquisition device (200), the movement position of the support body (100) relative to the vehicle (500) and output a control signal comprising the movement position; and a control device (400) provided on the support body (100), electrically connected to the processing device (300), and configured to receive the control signal and control the support body (100) to move.
Systems and methods for a self-stabilizing platform
A platform to be used to secure objects for delivery by air. As a platform is lowered toward the ground, the legs of the platform touch the ground and interact with each other to stabilize the platform. A stable platform does not tip over. The platform may stabilize itself even when lowered onto uneven terrain. As the platform is lowered, the legs, except the last leg, move upward or inside the body of the platform until the last leg touches the terrain. On uneven terrain, the legs of the platform move upward or inside different amounts, so the legs have different lengths. The last leg to touch locks the other legs so that they cannot move up or down thereby stabilizing the platform. An incompressible material is used to detect when the last leg touches the terrain and to lock the other legs.
TRIPOD WITH CONNECTING COMPONENTS
Disclosed is a tripod. The tripod comprises a base body, a plurality of tripod tubes and a plurality of connecting components. An end of each tripod tube is pivotally connected to the base body. The plurality of tripod tubes is pivotally operated in relation to the base body either at a folded state or at an expanding state. The other end of the plurality of tripod tubes get being close to each other so as to be folded in the folded state, and the other end of the plurality of tripod tubes get being far from each other so as to be expanding in the expanding state. Each of the plurality of connecting components is pivotally connected between the tripod tubes adjacent to each other. the two connecting elements are pulled by the tripod tubes connected to the two connecting elements in such a manner that the connecting elements are pulled by each other to be a straight line so as to provide a steady force to support the adjacent tripod tubes and thus to provide stable supporting force for a photographic equipment.
