Patent number: 9182228Abstract: An image capture system comprises a plurality of cameras and a camera mount. The camera mount has a curved portion, and the plurality of cameras are secured to the curved portion. The cameras are oriented radially inward relative to the curved portion of the camera mount, such that the lines of sight of the cameras intersect. Images are captured substantially simultaneously with the plurality of cameras. The captured images are stitched together to form a collective image. The image capture system may be positioned in an aerial vehicle to provide overhead views of an environment, and captured images may be transmitted to a remote location for viewing in substantially real time. A remote user may indicate a region of interest within the collective image, and the image capture system may render a portion of the collective image in accordance with the user's indications.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2006Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignees: Sony Corporation, University of Alabama in HuntsvilleInventors: David Boyd Pollock, Patrick John Reardon, Theodore Earl Rogers, Christopher N.

Patent number: 6568089Abstract: A reciprocating power tool includes a motor operatively connected with a drive assembly for driving a reciprocating shaft, on which a working tool is supported. The reciprocating power tool includes a base so that the tool may stand upright when resting upon the base without the use of external supports. A counterweight positioned inside of the drive housing minimizes vibration. The motor is preferably positioned so that its rotational axis is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the reciprocating shaft. This configuration of the motor produces a compact configuration for a reciprocating power tool and helps the tool stand upright upon the base of the tool. A battery may be provided in a cordless embodiment and is advantageously positioned for balancing the tool.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Porter-Cable/DeltaInventors: Matthew George Popik, Earl Roger Clowers, Mark Alan Etter, Thomas Arnold Mooty, Michael Anthony Lagaly, James Pierce Nichols, Jr.
