An apparatus includes a base; a mount attached to the base, the mount including a backplate, a bottom platform formed perpendicular to the backplate along a bottom of the backplate, the bottom platform including a retention wall formed as part of the bottom platform distant from the portion of the bottom platform attached to the backplate, the retention wall being perpendicular to the bottom platform, and a first side arm formed as part of the backplate along a side of the backplate and extending outwards from the backplate, and a notch holder formed as part of the base, the notch holder configured to secure a drug test device to the base.

A method and device are provided for positioning a mounted camera. The device includes a holding element that secures the mounted camera to the device, a wireless linkage at which remote attitude commands representing attitude changes of a remote driver are received, a local controller that interprets the remote attitude commands and generates local attitude commands that move the camera to mimic an orientation of the remote driver, and an attitude sensing element that senses a local attitude of the device. The attitude sensing element includes a gyro, an accelerometer, or a magnetometer, and jitter present in the remote attitude commands is removed and not passed on to the local attitude commands.

The present invention relates to the technical field of photography and videography, in particular to a gear fine-tuning pan-tilt. The gear fine-tuning pan-tilt includes a rotating base, a roll worm support seat, a roll adjusting assembly, a pitch adjusting assembly, and a bearing seat arranged in sequence from bottom to top; the pitch adjusting assembly of the complete gear structure is located on the above, providing large-angle pitch ability, and the roll adjusting assembly located below adopts an arc-shaped rack structure, which reduces the interference to the pitching movement of the upper assembly and makes the height of the pan-tilt smaller. The arc opening of the arc-shaped rack faces upwards, so that the rotation axis is closer to the center axis of the lens, the camera displacement is small during the leveling process, and the unintended picture movement is small. The upper and lower combination of the two structures strengthens the swing ability of the top of the pan-tilt in the limited size, and is therefore more convenient to use: firstly aiming at the subject through the rotating base, and then leveling the left and right, and then determining the pitch angle. The camera always maintains the left and right level during pitching process. There is no need to level the left and right again after the pitch angle is changed, and roll deviation will not occur when the camera pitches and the lens is moved.

Described herein are lightboxes and methods of use for the digital preservation of historical collections. The lightbox includes abase, the base having a grid visible on at least one surface of the base, and a plurality of walls extending above and substantially perpendicular to the base. A support platform having an aperture therein is located within the plurality of walls and above the base and is secured in the lightbox via a height adjustment mechanism. A cover is positioned above the base and below the support platform and secured in the lightbox via one or more hinge mechanisms One or more lighting elements are positioned along one or more walls of the lightbox, each lighting element including at least one light.

A magnet arrangement structure suitable for a voice coil motor is provided by the present invention, comprise a magnet holder and a coil holder coaxial with the magnet holder, wherein 2n groups of magnets are provided on the magnet holder, each group of magnets is symmetrically provided around a central axis of the magnet holder, each group of magnets comprises at least one magnet, and each magnet has two magnetic poles; the surfaces facing the central axis of each group of magnets comprise two different magnetic poles, and each magnetic pole is opposite to the magnetic pole; and each group of magnets also corresponds to a coil. Compared with the traditional art, the magnetic field intensity passing through the coil can be improved, power consumption is reduced, electromagnetic force is increased, and the benefits of reducing weight, cost and size of the motor are achieved.

A pre-calibrated spray plane image acquisition device is described that includes, in a single fixed-form structure, both an image capture component configured to acquire an optical image of a field of view and a light plane generator configured to generate a planar light plane emitted from the pre-calibrated spray plane image acquisition device. A carrier frame structure includes rigid components for permanently maintaining the image capture component and the light plane generator in respective positions defining a permanent spatial relationship between the field of view of the image capture component and the light plane generated by the light plane generator.

A system can include a display assembly that includes a display, a display side, a back side and a frame, where the back side includes a serial bus socket; and a camera assembly that includes a camera head unit coupled to an end of an arm, where an opposing end of the arm includes a serial bus connector receivable by the serial bus socket of the back side of the display assembly.

A system can include a display assembly that includes a display, a display side, a back side and a frame, where the frame includes frame magnetic material and a frame electronic interface; and a camera assembly that includes a housing, a camera and a tilt mount, where the tilt mount includes mount magnetic material and a mount electronic interface that electronically mates with the frame electronic interface via a magnetic attraction force.

A camera module miniaturized in both width and length includes a baseplate, a lens assembly, and a bracket. The bracket includes a support plate and a support member disposed on the support plate. The support plate includes a first surface facing away from the baseplate and a second surface facing the baseplate. The support plate defines a first opening penetrating the first surface and the second surface. The lens assembly is disposed on the first surface and completely covers the first opening. The support member is located between the support plate and the baseplate. The support member includes a first support portion and a plurality of second support portions arranged at intervals, the first support portion is disposed on the second surface and surrounds the peripheral edge of the first opening. Each second support portion extends outwards from an outer surface of the first support portion.

Disclosed is an electronic gimbal with camera and mounting configuration. The gimbal can include an inertial measurement unit which can sense the orientation of the camera and three electronic motors which can manipulate the orientation of the camera. The gimbal can be removably coupled to a variety of mount platforms, such as an aerial vehicle, a handheld grip, or a rotating platform. Moreover, a camera can be removably coupled to the gimbal and can be held in a removable camera frame. Also disclosed is a system for allowing the platform, to which the gimbal is mounted, to control settings of the camera or to trigger actions on the camera, such as taking a picture, or initiating the recording of a video. The gimbal can also provide a connection between the camera and the mount platform, such that the mount platform receives images and video content from the camera.
