  • Patent number: 7218339
    Abstract: The method uses three pictures, A, B and C, two of which are substantially similar pictures having images, A, B, and one that is dissimilar, usually a solid color, C. Continuous movement is created by repetitively viewing the series A, B, C. Additionally, each picture can be blended or superimposed to create a blended A/B, CIA and B/C and then the blend put together with the others, in a series, C/A, A, A/B, B, B/C, C. This series is then repeated a plurality of times to create an illusion of sustained, ongoing motion with a degree of three-dimensionality, with synchronous Pulfrich light-filtering available to enhance the effect.

    Abstract: A concealing guide track assembly for the top of a pair of sliding doors of a wardrobe having top rails. An elongated top track for mounting on the top wall of the wardrobe has a base wall and spaced channels. First and second elongated guides have a tubular formation along one side edge thereof slidably seated in one of the U-shaped portions of the top track and the other side edge engaged with one of the top rails so as to be slidable therewith. The guides have a bridge portion extending between the side edges, and the second guide bridge portion extends over the bridge portion of the first guide.

  • Publication number: 20060268105
    Abstract: This invention discloses a 3-D Phenomenoscope through which any 2-dimensional motion picture with passages of horizontal screen movement can be viewed with a 3-dimensional visual effect. The 3-dimensional visual effect is produced by the 3-D Phenomenoscope regardless of whether the motion picture was shot on regular or digital film; regardless of whether the presentation media is film, digital film, VCR tape, or DVD, and; regardless of whether the motion picture is viewed in the movie theater, home TV, Cable TV, or on a PC monitor. No special processing during production or showing of a motion picture is required to achieve the visual effect of the 3-D Phenomenoscope—so no new constraints are placed on the owner, producer, distributor, or projectionist in creating, distributing or displaying motion pictures. The 3-D Phenomenoscope are completely self-contained computer-actuated battery-powered spectacles or glasses that a viewer wears when watching a motion picture.

  • Publication number: 20060256287
    Abstract: This invention discloses a Pulfrich Filter Spectacles through which any 2-dimensional motion picture with passages of horizontal screen movement can be viewed with a 3-dimensional visual effect. It provides a system of timed signals to move a Pulfrich filter before one eye or the other as appropriate to the current direction of screen foreground movement. The Pulfrich Filter Spectacles achieve this by taking advantage of the well-known Pulfrich effect, by which lateral motion of an ordinary motion picture will appear to the viewer in 3-dimensions if the motion picture is viewed through right and left filter lenses that are configured with a clear lens and an occluded or tinted lens. In the preferred embodiment, this is implemented by modifying the soundtrack of a movie to include sounds beyond human hearing (ultrasonic sounds) that signal at appropriate places/times in the course of presentation of a motion picture to switch the filter to the appropriate eye.

  • Publication number: 20060078130
    Abstract: The invention is directed to a display and method for conducting sound system design. The display is configured to simultaneously show a sound system model comprising both audio components and sound environment components, a plurality of parameters and a graphic representation of a calculated sound system performance attribute. In response to receiving input from the user and without any additional user intervention, the display re-displays a newly-calculated sound system performance attribute such as, for example, a graphic representation in the sound system model of a sound path associated with a user-selected reflected sound identifier. A processor also simulates, based on the sound system configuration, the sound performance that a user would expect to hear positioned in an identified listening position of the sound system model.

  • Publication number: 20060016144
    Abstract: A field assemblable panel door comprises a pair of metallic stiles each having an outer wall, a pair of side walls extending perpendicularly thereto and an engagement element on the inner surface of the outer wall which provides a bore. The side walls provide a first inwardly opening panel receiving channel therebetween, and a pair of flanges on one side wall provide a second panel receiving channel. A pair of metallic rails each have inner and outer side walls, and a base wall extends between the inner ends of the side walls to provide an outwardly opening channel, and the base wall provides a second inwardly opening channel. Corner connectors join the ends of the stiles and rails to form a rectangular frame. The connectors have an outer end wall overlying the ends of the rails and a body portion extending in the outwardly opening channel.

  • Publication number: 20050246962
    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.
