  • Publication number: 20100275371
    Abstract: A person support apparatus comprises a lower frame, a support, and an upper frame. The support is coupled to the lower frame. The upper frame has a head section and a foot section and defines a longitudinal axis passing through the head section and the foot section and a lateral axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The upper frame includes a tilt mechanism pivotably coupling the upper frame to the support. The tilt mechanism includes a base and a rocker nested within the base. The base and the rocker are pivotable with respect to one another about a pivot axis that passes through the base and the rocker and is substantially parallel the longitudinal axis. The upper frame is pivotable about the pivot axis with respect to the lower frame.

  • Patent number: 7522257
    Abstract: A system for a 3-D Phenomenoscope to view 3-dimensional special effects in motion pictures, and a method by which ordinary 2-dimensional motion pictures can be viewed as a 3-dimensionsal experience are disclosed. It provides (a) a 3-D Phenomenoscope with right and left lenses, where the degree of darkness of the right and left lenses can be individually controlled; (b) a digital photo sensors that can capture the viewed motion picture as successive images and convert the captured frames to digital images for processing; (c) a computer processor and a computer program to process the successive images and identify lateral motion synchronization events, and (d) a control unit to provide individual control for the light-reduction or darkening of the right or left lens based on the identified synchronization events. These system and method allow any motion picture to be viewed with the visual effect of 3-dimensions.

  • Publication number: 20080043203
    Abstract: This invention directs to a video/motion picture displaying apparatus for viewing via 3D spectacles with an internal 3D synchronizing unit including an image capturing means, a synchronizing means to identify synchronization events according to a set of synchronization rules, and a transmitting unit. It further directs to a 2D video/motion picture embedded with synchronizing signals produced with the same synchronization rules. The invention also discloses a 3D synchronizing signal composing/embedding device for embedding synchronizing signals to a 2D video/motion picture including a data capturing means, a converting means, a synchronizing means and a composing means or an embedding means. It also teaches a related 3D control device configured to acquire and utilize the embedded synchronizing signals to control the transmission of light of the 3D spectacles.

  • Patent number: 7293389
    Abstract: A sliding door assembly includes a sliding door that is slidingly mounted to a top track via one or more top guide assemblies. The sliding door is also slidingly mounted to a bottom track. Each top guide assembly includes a top guide wheel that rotationally mounts to the top guide assembly and engages the top track to guide the sliding door. The guide wheel rotates relative to the top guide assembly about an axis that extends horizontally in a direction perpendicular to a direction of travel of the sliding door. The guide wheel also movably mounts to the top guide assembly so that the guide wheel moves upwardly and downwardly relative to the top guide assembly and sliding door to correct for any variation in the gap between the top and bottom tracks.
