  • Patent number: 8508583
    Abstract: A three-dimensional video image projecting device and projecting method uses video image projectors to project a three-dimensional video image on a cylindrical screen face which can be three-dimensionally viewed through three-dimensional glasses having a first polarizing filter and a second polarizing filter arranged thereon. A plurality of video image projectors are disposed to be opposed to respective regions of the screen face, and the video image projectors produce a continuous, three-dimensional video image in a circumferential direction, by projecting, from the video image projectors, three-dimensional video images, each of which has an angle of 30 degrees or less in a circumferential direction of the screen face, arranged along the circumferential direction of the screen face.

  • Patent number: 4768737
    Abstract: An anti-torque system for use in a helicopter has an aft mounted horizontal fan submerged within a fuselage mounted, upward facing plenum. The fan operates off the mainpower source. The plenum has two controllable exit ports for counter torque control, fuselage pitch control and yaw control. The controllable exit ports are located along the longitudinal direction of the fuselage and each are substantially opposite each other. One port has a sufficiently sized area to effectively offset the torque of the main rotor while the other port has a sufficiently sized area to effectively provide autorotative yaw control. Both ports can be used simultaneous or singly.
