  • Patent number: 9712810
    Abstract: An apparatus for displaying three dimensional (3D) images to a viewer without the need for 3D glasses. The apparatus includes a display element with a lenticular display surface that is supported to be horizontal and face upward into a viewing space. The apparatus includes a location tracking element tracking a location of a viewer in the viewing space relative to the lenticular display surface. The apparatus includes a display controller generating reprojected content for operating the display element to display 3D images via the lenticular display surface. The reprojected content is generated by determining for each pixel of the display element the content or images passing through tracked and/or determined eye locations and then remapping content delivered to each of the pixels of the display element to achieve a predefined pattern of content in viewpoints of fixed camera positions for the display element.

  • Publication number: 20170079434
    Abstract: A patient support apparatus including a seat section, a backrest section that is movable relative to the seat section, and an arm supported relative to the seat section. The arm is adapted to move between a first position adjacent the seat section for use as an arm rest for a person sitting on the patient support apparatus to a raised second position adjacent the backrest section. The arm and the backrest section are coupled together when the arm is in the raised second position wherein the arm moves with the backrest section.

  • Publication number: 20160076292
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hinge including: a first hinge member including a first magnetic element; a second hinge member including a second magnetic element pivotally mounted to the first hinge member: a braking mechanism configured to hinder hinged motion of the hinge members; and a biasing mechanism to bias the first hinge member and the second hinge member toward a retained position. The first and second hinge members are substantially maintained in the retained position via magnetic force between the first and second magnetic elements. In certain embodiments, the first hinge member includes an angled overlapping portion and the second hinge member includes a dampening mechanism to slow hinged movement of the first hinge member relative to the second hinge member. The dampening mechanism is orientated substantially orthogonal to the angled overlapping portion which urges against the dampener when approaching the retained position.

  • Publication number: 20160060932
    Abstract: Disclosed is a hinge including: a first hinge component including: a first external surface for securing to a first structure; and a first magnetic element; and a second hinge component, pivotally coupled to the first hinge component, including: a second external surface for securing to a second structure; and a second magnetic element. A magnetic force between the first and second magnetic elements bias the first and second hinge components toward a retained position.

  • Publication number: 20160022039
    Abstract: A chair includes a seat, a backrest, and a leg rest. A tilt actuator and lift actuator tilt and lift the seat, respectively. A leg rest actuator extends and retracts the leg rest. A backrest actuator pivots the backrest with respect to the seat. A controller simultaneously controls the actuators such that they move sequentially between multiple predefined states. A control panel enables a user to automatically move the chair to any of the predefined states. Progress indicators are included that provide a visual indication of how far the chair has progressed to a commanded state. A controller controls the actuators such that they simultaneously arrive at each state. One or more functions on a control panel may also be automatically disabled and/or automatically enabled as the chair moves into or out of certain ones of the predefined states.
