Abstract: An electro-mechanical automatic self-leveling device is provided for use on motorized chair seats. The device may include a pendulum assembly consisting of neodymium magnets attached to an inertia-dampened pendulum and a printed circuit board (PCB) with a hall effect sensor and processing circuitry that will develop proportional correction signals to be amplified by a high-current bi-directional motor driver. This configuration is assembled in a case attached to the motorized chair seat via a mounting bracket and clamping knob, and a cable from the device connects to the chair's seat tilt motor and power supply. Various switches may be included to reset the device in case of overheating and to switch between automatic and manual leveling. In alternative embodiments, the auto-leveling mechanism may be integrated into the motorized chair seat design rather than a separate device that can be attached to the chair seat after-market and independent of the chair's controller.

Abstract: A direct drive servo motor is provided and may include a quadrature encoder and a silicone rubber sleeve affixed to the encoder's shaft that is attached to the rotor hub and may also include an axle fixed to the rotor hub, inner and outer bearings, front and rear bearing plates, an outer stator, and an inner rotor rare earth magnet ring. A computer-controlled camera system is also provided and includes a direct drive camera gimbal; a pan-bar system; a robotic control system; a master interconnect unit; custom control software; and a track and gantry system. A universal camera tripod head adapter is also provided and includes front and rear clamps, a clamp handle, side and rear brackets and a silicone rubber sleeve affixed to the shaft of each encoder that rides on the pan and tilt axis lips of a camera tripod head.
