  • Articulated jib for moving a camera during the production of a motion picture
    Patent number: 8746634
    Abstract: An articulated jib for moving a load is supported on a base and comprises a first jib arm pivotably connected to a base. The first jib arm functions as a bascule and is pivotable about a first axis. There is a first counterweight disposed on the first jib arm. A second jib arm is pivotably connected to the first jib arm and is pivotable about a second axis. A linking rod connects the second jib arm to a lever arm which is also pivotably connected to the base. There is a second counterweight disposed on the lever arm.

  • Image processing equipment with thermally efficient heat dissipating element
    Patent number: 5936646
    Abstract: Image processing equipment(100) has a thermally activated write head element (200) that builds up heat during operations and an improved heat exchanger assemblage (300) having a high surface area heat sink (312) that absorbs and then dissipates the heat. Heat exchanger (300), structurally connected to the write head element (200), includes an air moving means (304) having a backward curved impeller (306) driven by a compact planar de motor for producing higher impeller speeds with superior thermal transfer performance.

  • Heat exchanger
    Patent number: 5832986
    Abstract: An improved heat exchanger (10) has a heat sink (22) with fins (24) having a very high heat transfer coefficient structurally associated with a compact, high air velocity air moving means (14). Air moving means (14) of the invention employs a backward curved impeller (16) driven by a compact planar dc motor (50) adapted to yield higher than normal impeller speeds with superior thermal transfer performance.
