  • Eternalism, a method for creating an appearance of sustained three-dimensional motion-direction of unlimited duration, using a finite number of pictures
    Publication number: 20020135699
    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.

  • Top guide for sliding doors
    Patent number: 6449906
    Abstract: A top guide is disclosed for mounting an upper portion of a door panel assembly with respect to track. The top guide includes an integrally molded plastic mounting structure having connecting portions constructed and arranged to enable the mounting structure to be connected to a door panel assembly. The mounting structure also includes first and second roller mounting portions. First and second rollers are mounted for rotation on the first and second roller mounting portions. The first roller mounting portion is formed on a portion of the integrally molded plastic mounting structure which is resiliently biased to enable the first roller mounted thereon to be in biased engagement with one of the track surfaces when the top guide is mounted with respect to the track.
