  • Publication number: 20240034453
    Abstract: A door sill protector includes a base rotatably mounted to a door sill via a hinge. The hinge allows the base to be rotated between a stowed position and a deployed position. A plurality of support feet are disposed on an underside of the base. Each of the support feet is pivotable for pivoting between an extended orientation and a retracted orientation. A linkage bar is mechanically coupled to the support feet such that the support feet collectively pivot in unison between the extended orientation and the retracted orientation.

  • Publication number: 20100321506
    Abstract: A set of calibration procedures that can be run to assist in calibrating a camera module, such as may be intended for installation into a mobile consumer device. The procedures include lens shading calibration, white balance calibration, light source color temperature calibration, auto focus macro calibration, static defect pixel calibration, and mechanical shutter delay calibration. The light source color temperature calibration may be performed to assist in the other calibrations, each of which may generate data that can be potentially be stored in non-volatile memory on board the camera module for use during operation.
