Abstract: A system includes a camera for capturing a first panorama view. The system determines a first bearing of a person within the first panorama view, and a first gaze direction of the person within the first panorama view. The system receives, from an external source, a second panorama view, a second bearing of the person within the second panorama view, and a second gaze direction of the person within the second panorama view. The system selects, by comparing the first gaze direction and the second gaze direction, a selected panorama view and a selected bearing of the person. The system forms a localized subscene video signal based on the selected panorama view along the selected bearing of the person. The system generates a stage view signal based on the localized subscene video signal and composites a composited signal comprising the stage view signal.

Abstract: A system or method for imaging a panorama view may include a physical writing surface, a camera capturing the panorama view, and a sensor identifying a bearing of interest within the view. The system may maintain a coordinate map of the view, adjust an aspect ratio of the view, and generate a scaled panorama view based on the adjusted aspect ratio. The system may determine a coordinate of a designated view based on coordinate instructions and may generate a designated view signal based on the determined coordinate of the designated view comprising at least a portion of the physical writing surface. The system may composite a video signal including one or more of the scaled panorama view signal, a stage view signal, or the designated view signal, and may transmit the composite video signal.

Abstract: A tire pressure sensor mounting system for mounting a tire pressure sensor directly to a wheel rim. A mounting base is disposed on the wheel rim. A linear rim strap groove is disposed across a top surface of the mounting base. A plurality of side strap through-slots is transversely disposed through the side surfaces of the mounting base. A portion of a rim strap is disposed in the rim strap groove. A first locking mechanism tightly encloses the rim strap around the wheel rim to secure the mounting base on the wheel rim. A portion of a side strap is disposed through the side strap through-slot. A second locking mechanism locks the side strap around the tire pressure sensor to secure the tire pressure sensor on the mounting base.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for obtaining and providing data about a phone call to a representative. A data repository can be used as transient storage while a phone call is ongoing (and possibly for some time afterwards). Data can be retrieved and stored in the data repository, as well as sent to external systems that a representative might use. A data interface can handle communications between the data repository and the external systems in a controlled manner so that exchanges of particular pieces of data can occur efficiently. A graphical user interface (GUI) can be provided for setting up rules for treating a call. The GUI can provide a convenient interface for specifying a mechanism for exchanging data with an external system. A central control can sent voice, data, and control commands across various channels to various devices when processing an incoming call.

Abstract: The present invention features a tire pressure sensor mounting system to mount a tire pressure sensor on a wheel rim directly. The system comprises a singular mounting piece with a rim strap and at least two side straps to securing a tire pressure sensor. The side straps are disposed along the rim strap with extension direction perpendicular to the rim strap. Both the rim strap and side straps have lock means to securely lock the tire rim and tire pressure sensor respectively.

Abstract: An electroplating rack includes a cathode flight bar from which depends an insulated rack bar over an acid bath. A clamp is fixed to the rack bar, and has a bridge electrically connected to the flight bar through a conducting core inside the insulated rack bar. The clamp has a main body made of plastic, which includes a slot in which protrudes the bridge. An electrically conducting spring clip is installed in the slot, and is formed of two arms continuously biased into a spreaded, opened condition in the slot. A screw carried by the main body, when rotated in a first direction, can force the spring clip into a closed condition, in which it can hold an article to be electroplated between its two arms, and in which one of the spring clip arms is forced against the bridge member. Thus, electrical current can pass through the rack flight bar and conducting core, then through the bridge member, the spring clip and finally into the article to be electroplated.

Abstract: The holding clamp of the invention has a first elongated arm and a second shorter arm both being electrically conducting and interconnected in parallel spaced-apart fashion by a transverse pivotal bracket intermediate their lengths. The first elongated arm is fixedly attached at its upper end to a cathode frame bar and downwardly depends therefrom. A lever pivotally attached to the first arm intermediate the cathode bar and the pivotal bracket engage the upper end of the second arm in clamming fashion to forcibly tilt same between a first limit position, in which the lower ends of the two arms are spaced-apart, and a second limit position, in which the arms lower ends abut one another under the action of coil springs. The lower ends of the arm members form a pair of jaws provided with electrically conducting studs engageable axially to one another, the studs and arms lower ends being otherwise enveloped with a fluid-tight and electrically insulating sleeve, except at the studs outer free ends.
