A hinge of a computing device includes a primary support connecting a display to a stand. As the display rotates about the stand, the primary support slides along a friction strip, which stabilizes the display with respect to the stand. A stabilizer may connect the stand to the base or the stand to the display.

A swivel device includes a base, a first gear fixed to the base, a tray configured to relatively rotate with respect to the base, a second gear fixed to the tray and engaged with the first gear so as to rotate together with the tray wherein the second gear has a smaller diameter than the first gear, a stopper wheel coaxially fixed to the second gear, and a stopper configured to stop rotation of the stopper wheel to fix a position of the tray.

A robotic surgery system includes an orienting platform, a support linkage movably supporting the orienting platform, a plurality of surgical instrument manipulators, and a plurality of set-up linkages. Each of the manipulators includes an instrument holder and is operable to rotate the instrument holder around a remote center of manipulation (RC). At least one of the manipulators includes a reorientation mechanism that when actuated moves the attached manipulator through a motion that maintains the associated RC in a fixed position.

A security apparatus comprises a support assembly and a keyboard retainer. The support assembly comprises a first retaining portion, a second retaining portion pivotally coupled to the first retaining portion, and a lock assembly defining a locked state and an unlocked state. The keyboard retainer comprises at least one base member pivotally coupled to the first and second retaining portions and included a top surface extending along a top surface plane, and an opposing bottom surface. The at least one base member comprises one or more securing members extending from the bottom surface of the first base, and one or more retainers extending above the top surface plane of the first and each retainer comprising a retaining member extending away from the first base.

Handwheel systems, including control consoles incorporating handwheels of the inventive subject matter, are described in this application. Handwheels described in this application can be used to control remotely located motors, especially those configured to control camera movements. To make it easier for camera operators to control remotely located motors using handwheels, those handwheels can be incorporated into a control console. Control consoles of the inventive subject matter can include several dials, toggle buttons, a display, and a variety of different inputs and outputs.

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.

An image-capturing device includes a camera and a rotating mechanism for orienting the camera in multiple directions. The rotating mechanism includes a motor; a driving gear; a first transmission module including a first input gear, which is selectively engaged with and transmitted to rotate by the driving gear at a first position, and transmitting the camera to rotate in a first direction with rotation of the first input gear; a second transmission module including a second input gear, which is selectively engaged with and transmitted to rotate by the driving gear at a second position, and transmitting the camera to rotate in a second direction with rotation of the second input gear; and a clutch mechanism including a clutch device for driving the driving gear to switch between the first position and the second position. The clutch device includes a solenoid.

Based on the traditional shimbari principle, new methods for precise positioning and support of shimbari rods utilizing a modular aluminum framing system have been developed. With these innovations, a wide range of three-dimensional works of art can be treated, including large-scale sculptures with complex contours and irregular surfaces. These methods and systems include easily adaptable shimbari clamping devices and pivot mounts developed by a team of conservators and an industrial designer-fabricator in the Department of Objects Conservation at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

An AIDC device cradle includes a movable stand having a post, base plate, and an axle head. A cradle tray is rotatably attached to the axle head via a pivot pin. The cradle tray is configured to receive and accommodate an AIDC device case with an AIDC device. A plurality of locking holes and slots are provided to lock the AIDC device case in position and secure the AIDC device within the device cradle. Integrated charging options are provided. An opening or viewing port is provided on both the AIDC device case and cradle tray enabling the AIDC device scanner to be operational in a downward position.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to modular camera mounts interoperable with cameras. The modular camera mount may include a bracket comprising a first mounting portion positioned perpendicular to a camera mounting portion. The first mounting portion may facilitate securing the modular camera mount to a first surface, wherein the first surface may comprise a small area. Both the camera mounting portion and the first mounting portion may include a plurality of mounting provisions configured to align with mounting provisions of a cover. The cover may be secured to the bracket via a plurality of fasteners threaded through the mounting provisions. Securing the cover to the bracket may form a chamber therebetween, wherein the chamber may be a conduit for a cable configured to electrically connect the camera to a power source. The cover may be configured to secure the position adjustable camera via an angular adjustable bracket.
