Publication number: 20140184763Abstract: A desktop electronic magnifier in a first embodiment includes a monitor and a control panel mounted to the monitor so that access to the control panel cannot be blocked by any position of the monitor. In a second embodiment, a monitor is positioned atop a flat platform that surmounts the camera so that access to the control panel cannot be blocked by any position of the monitor. In a third embodiment, the control panel is mounted to the camera and the monitor is supported by a support surface independent of the magnifier. Access to the control panel is blocked only if the user positions the monitor in blocking relation to the control panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2013Publication date: July 3, 2014Applicant: FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: Michael Goldenberg, Bradley S. Davis, Lee Hamilton, Carlos M. Rodriguez, Patrick Murphy, Waldemar H. Tunkis

Patent number: 8690576Abstract: Disclosed is a Braille display device. The device supports an array of individual Braille cells with corresponding tactile pins. The pins can be selectively lifted by way of reeds to generate Braille characters that can be felt by the user. The Braille characters can correspond to visible characters, such as characters on a computer screen. The display is refreshable to allow for the sequential display of lines, paragraphs, or pages. In accordance with the disclosure, the Braille cells are constructed in a manner that minimizes manufacturing costs and that also permits the size of the display to be greatly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Freedom Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Murphy, Todd Conard, Waldemar Tunkis, Michael Goldenberg

Publication number: 20140022364Abstract: A portable magnifier camera with an associated display housing, base and handle. The camera can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations, including: a first closed configuration wherein the display and base are in facing relation; a second opened configuration wherein the display is angled with respect to the base; and a third hand-held configuration wherein a handle is pivoted outwardly to permit a user to hold the camera relative to a distant object. The angle of the camera adjusts automatically in each configuration to ensure that the camera's light of slight is perpendicular to the object plane. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2013Publication date: January 23, 2014Applicant: FREEDOM SCIENTIFIC, INC.Inventors: Carlos Rodriguez, Patrick Murphy, Waldemar Tunkis, Todd Conard, Michael Goldenberg, Lee Hamilton, Bradley S.

Patent number: 8360778Abstract: An electromechanical Braille cell assembly includes a plurality of parallel bimorph reeds. A first plurality of bimorph reeds is mounted to a first side of a printed circuit board by a first plurality of clips and a second plurality of bimorph reeds is mounted to a second side of the printed circuit board by a second plurality of clips. A frame has a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall in the form of an angle wall and a second side wall in the form of a flat wall. Pinholes are formed in the angle wall to accommodate Braille pins and the flat wall is slotted to accommodate a plurality of printed circuit boards. A monolithic cap covers all of the Braille pins. Pinholes formed in the cap receive the respective tips of the Braille cells when actuated bimorph reeds cause displacement of the Braille pins.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Freedom Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Murphy, Todd Conard, Waldemar H.

Patent number: 8259222Abstract: Disclosed is a portable magnifier camera that can be selectively positioned into a variety of configurations. At least four distinct viewing configurations are provided: a reading mode wherein the camera rests flatly upon the viewed object; a writing mode wherein the camera rests at an angle upon the viewed object; a hand-held mode wherein the user holds the camera relative to a distant object; and an inspection mode wherein the user holds the viewed object relative to the camera. These configurations enable a user to effectively view objects of differing size and at varying distances.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2008Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Freedom Scientific, Inc.Inventors: Carlos M.
