F16M11/2007
Swivel device and medical apparatus including the same
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.
ADJUSTABLE DISPLAY MOUNTING SYSTEM
A mounting system capable of mounting objects to support structures is disclosed. The mounting system includes a wall mount including a display bracket configured to hold the object, a fixed support bracket couplable to a vertical support structure, and a linkage assembly. The linkage assembly has a low-profile stowed configuration in which the object is held in a raised position close to the support structure. The linkage assembly moves to another configuration to move the object. The object can be held in a lowered position. A biasing mechanism can facilitate convenient movement of the object.
Silent, Adjustable, Hands Free Display Activation Apparatus and Method for Optical Viewing
An improved silent, adjustable, hands free optical viewing device that allows a hunter to obtain real time ranges to a target or an enhanced view of a target with a minimum of noise and motion. A variation allows the mounting of a video camera to capture video of the hunt.
Rotatable connection with rotational angle limitation
A rotatable connection for a stand apparatus to be arranged in an operating room and including an adaptable stop mechanism which can be arranged between a first connection component and a second connection component mounted rotatably around a rotational axis relative to the first connection component and is configured to define at least two different relative rotational angles of the connection components or at least two different rotational ranges is provided. A carrier system or a stand apparatus having such a rotatable connection is also provided.
Monitor position adjustment based on application metadata
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to automatic monitor position adjustment. An indication that an application is being launched is received. A preferred monitor position for the application is determined by referencing a data store mapping preferred monitor positions to respective metadata attributes, where the preferred monitor position for the application is determined based on the preferred monitor position being mapped to a first metadata attribute associated with the application within the data store. An actuator associated with the monitor is then instructed to adjust the position of the monitor to the preferred monitor position.
SUPPORT STRUCTURE BOOT
A boot assembly for use with a leg on a support stand of a lighting fixture, including a body portion formed by a side wall defining a recess having a top opening, and a base portion including a substantially planar bottom surfacer, a top wall, and a perimeter side wall extending therebetween, wherein the body portion extends upwardly from the top wall of the base portion and a distal end of the leg is slidably received in the recess of the body portion.
Transportable rack for pressure safety/relief valves
A transportable valve rack for securing a plurality of pressure safety or pressure relief valves in an upright position. The valves of the type having a bolted flange-type connection and the rack comprises a base assembly and a top plate mounted on the base assembly. The top plate includes a plurality of areas, with each area comprising a plurality of holes arranged on a circumference of two or more concentric circles. The plurality of holes extends through the top plate and at least four holes are on the circumference of each concentric circle. The holes are sized and arranged to align with bolt holes of pre-selected flanges of particular size and pressure rating. Nuts and bolts extended through aligned holes secure the valve to the valve rack.
Systems and methods for haptically-enabled holders
One illustrative system disclosed herein includes a processor configured to: receive a signal; determine a haptic effect based at least in part on the signal; and transmit a haptic signal associated with the haptic effect. The system further includes a haptic output device in communication with the processor and coupled to a holder, wherein the holder is configured to mechanically couple with an electronic device. The haptic output device is configured to receive the haptic signal and output the haptic effect.
Compact electronic device with thermal management
This application is directed to a passively-cooled electronic device including a housing, a plurality of electronic assemblies and a plurality of thermally conductive parts. The electronic assemblies are enclosed in the housing and include a first electronic assembly and a second electronic assembly. The first and second electronic assemblies are disposed proximately to each other within the housing, and the second electronic assembly is substantially sensitive to heat, including heat generated by operation of the first electronic assembly. The thermally conductive parts are coupled between the first electronic assembly and the housing, and configured to create a first plurality of heat conduction paths to conduct the heat generated by the first electronic assembly away from the second electronic assembly without using a fan. At least a subset of the thermally conductive parts mechanically supports one or both of the first and second electronic assemblies.
Methods and apparatus to mount a camera to a mounting device
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to mount a camera to a mounting plate, the apparatus comprising: a camera socket connector to connect to a socket of the camera; and a mounting plate connector to connect to the mounting plate, wherein the camera socket connector able to be removably coupled to the mounting plate connector.
