Abstract: A hammock formed by suspending a substantially rectilinear section of material by two diagonally-opposed corners to two respective anchor points. Preferably, the other two diagonally-opposed corners of the substantially rectilinear section of material are anchored to respective anchor points below the two suspension anchor points. The hammock preferably has a suspension line and a body, wherein the suspension line and body are separate. Preferably, the body includes the substantially rectilinear section of material, and an overlying rain-fly. A method of suspending such a hammock includes suspending the suspension line to the two suspension anchor points, and suspending the hammock body from the suspension line. Preferably, the other two diagonally-opposed corners of the substantially rectilinear section of material are then anchored to respective anchor points below the two suspension anchor points.

Abstract: An interactive input device comprises a panel formed of energy transmissive material and having an input surface, energy dispersing structure associated with the panel, the energy dispersing structure dispersing energy emitted by a pointer that enters the panel via the input surface and at least one imaging assembly, at least some of the dispersed energy being directed towards the at least one imaging assembly.

Abstract: A safety device for a cantilevered beam pivotally mounted adjacent one end thereof to a support surface is adapted to bridge the beam and the support surface and is structured so that when coupled to the beam and support surface, the safety device maintains the beam in a substantially fixed cantilevered condition until a downward force exceeding a threshold is applied to the beam and thereafter controls downward pivoting of the beam.
