  • Patent number: 9596457
    Abstract: A multiple camera video system and methods for operating such a system. The system may include a plurality of cameras located around a stadium, athletic playing field or other location. The cameras are remotely controlled in a master-slave configuration. A camera operator at a master pan head selects one of the plurality of cameras as the current master camera and utilizes the master pan head to adjust the telemetry and zoom of the master camera to follow the target object. The telemetry and zoom parameters of the master camera are then used to calculate corresponding telemetry, zoom and/or other parameters for each of the plurality of slave cameras. Video captured by each of the cameras is stored for the production of replay video feeds or for archiving. The replays may be capable of “spinning” through the video feeds of adjacent cameras in order for the viewer to get the sensation of revolving around the target object. The multiple camera video system also includes methods for calibrating the system.

  • Publication number: 20140028109
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for wirelessly transmitting power to receivers that are freely mobile, such as power receivers for sensors attached to animal experiments. An example transmitter includes a resonator including a generator and transmitter coil, an initial drive signal generator that removes the generator from an ‘off’ state thereby causing the transmitter coil to create an alternating magnetic field that oscillates within a threshold of a resonant frequency of the generator, a phase detector that receives a signal from a receiver coil receiving power via the magnetic field, and a transition module that switches from the initial drive signal to a drive signal generated based on output from the phase detector. An example wireless power receiver has three turns of wire, one on each axis, around a ferrite plate, the outputs of which are connected in parallel to produce a combined output power signal.

  • Patent number: 7193645
    Abstract: A video imaging system includes a master video camera for producing video images of a moving object of interest, a plurality of additional video cameras each positioned at a different location for producing additional video images of the object of interest from different spatial perspectives, and a control system for controlling the additional video cameras to track the object of interest imaged by the master video camera. The system generates video images using a method comprising the steps of producing a master video image of a moving object of interest, producing additional video images of the object of interest from different spatial perspectives, and controlling size of the object of interest in the additional video images in response to the size of the object of interest in the master video image.

  • Publication number: 20060011565
    Abstract: A merchandiser comprising at least three display modules. At least two of the display modules have a substantially similar horizontal periphery. The display modules each have a front and a rear. At least two of the display modules have shelves, with at least a portion of the rear of the at least two display modules having shelves being open to allow stocking of the shelves from the rear of the at least two display modules having shelves. The display modules are releasably connected together to allow the display modules to be connected and disconnected. The display modules, when disconnected, can be separated to allow the at least two display modules having shelves and having the at least a portion of the rear that is open to be stocked from the rear. Furthermore, the display modules, when connected, can be moved as a unit.
