  • Publication number: 20240120874
    Abstract: A roof mount system supports a solar panel above a roof and includes a base positioned on the roof and a first fastener connected to the base and extending away from the roof and moveable along the base in a direction generally parallel to the roof. A first clamp supports a bottom surface of a solar panel frame and adjusts the height of the solar panel above the roof by moving the first clamp along a first fastener in a direction perpendicular to the roof. A second clamp is connected to a second fastener and moves with respect to the first clamp perpendicular to the roof. The solar panel is clamped between the first clamp and the second clamp portion. A protrusion extends from the first or second clamp to form an electrical bond between the solar panel frame and the respective first or second clamp.

  • Publication number: 20240084600
    Abstract: A mount assembly is provided for mounting a structure to a roof having a top surface. The mount includes a flashing including an aperture; a bracket including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having an opening and a countersink extending around the opening, the second portion extending at an angle away from the flashing, the second portion including a slot configured to be coupled to the structure; a fastener extending through the aperture and through the opening of the bracket; and a seal extending around the aperture and positioned between the flashing and the first portion of the bracket, the seal engaging the countersink of the bracket and being compressed against the flashing.

  • Patent number: 11912012
    Abstract: A direct to mesh (DtM) screen printer for creating a screen stencil is provided. The DtM screen printer includes a frame to hold a pre-stretched mesh in place during application of a jettable emulsion, a fixture to hold the frame, a platen to hold a release fluid against one side of the pre-stretched mesh, a fluid dispenser for dispensing the release fluid onto the platen or mesh, and a printer carriage supporting a print head for printing the jettable emulsion on a side of the pre-stretched mesh opposite the platen. A process is also provided, the process being for using the DtM screen printer to prepare the screen stencil for screen printing.

  • Publication number: 20160088286
    Abstract: Method and system for automatic composition and orchestration of a 3D space or scene using networked devices and computer vision to bring ease of use and autonomy to a range of compositions. A scene, its objects, subjects and background are identified and classified, and relationships and behaviors are deduced through analysis. Compositional theories are applied, and context attributes (for example location, external data, camera metadata, and the relative positions of subjects and objects in the scene) are considered automatically to produce optimal composition and allow for direction of networked equipment and devices. Events inform the capture process, for example, a video recording initiated when a rock climber waves her hand, an autonomous camera automatically adjusting to keep her body in frame throughout the sequence of moves. Model analysis allows for direction, including audio tones to indicate proper form for the subject and instructions sent to equipment ensure optimal scene orchestration.
