Publication number: 20230041357Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic gimbal with camera and mounting configuration. The gimbal can include an inertial measurement unit which can sense the orientation of the camera and three electronic motors which can manipulate the orientation of the camera. The gimbal can be removably coupled to a variety of mount platforms, such as an aerial vehicle, a handheld grip, or a rotating platform. Moreover, a camera can be removably coupled to the gimbal and can be held in a removable camera frame. Also disclosed is a system for allowing the platform, to which the gimbal is mounted, to control settings of the camera or to trigger actions on the camera, such as taking a picture, or initiating the recording of a video. The gimbal can also provide a connection between the camera and the mount platform, such that the mount platform receives images and video content from the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Noriaki Saika, Ryan Harrison, Joshua Todd Druker, Himay Rashmikant Shukla, Nenad Uzunovic, Edward Gordon Russell, Gary Fong

Patent number: 9514112Abstract: Methods, systems and computer readable medium allow a user to open an electronic document in one of various applications while revealing hidden information, without having to know or execute manual steps or procedures to reveal the hidden information. A user interface of a reveal hidden information application is displayed, the user interface displaying a list of one or more native applications each of which is associated with an electronic document type. An input is received selecting a first native application from the list, and one or more hidden information types are displayed corresponding to the selected native application. Settings for the hidden information types corresponding to the first native application are received. Using the first native application, an electronic document whose document type corresponds to the first native application is then displayed with hidden information revealed/not revealed in accordance with the settings.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2010Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Navigant Consulting, Inc.Inventors: Gordon Russell Kaulback, Guggan Datta
