  • Publication number: 20210266427
    Abstract: A chair and chroma key photography backdrop assembly leverages the effect of chroma key photography with a collapsible chroma key panel integrated directly into a chair on which an actor sits during broadcast or video conference. The chair has at least one accessory retention arm that forms a cavity sized and dimensioned to retain broadcast equipment, including cameras and sound systems. The chair also has a shock absorber to absorb shock impulses from the actor who is sitting on the chair. Chroma key photography software in the cameras separate the solid color of the chroma key panel from the actor sitting in the chair, and replaces the solid color background of the chroma key panel with a virtual image or video and also separates the actor from the background, such that the actor appears to be in front of a virtual image or video. By deploying the chroma key panel from the chair, stowage, mobility, and efficiency are enhanced during video production.

  • Publication number: 20180185749
    Abstract: A multi-functional game controller device with interchangeable finger actuatable members and function panels operatively connects to a game console. The game controller comprises a hand held housing forming a socket. An input signal contact member in the socket is operable to transmit a signal to the game console. Multiple interchangeable finger actuatable members having buttons or switches selectively engage and disengage the input signal contact member, such that finger actuation of the button or switch transmits signals to the game console. Each finger actuatable member is different to provide different functions, and operate with different video games. Multiple functions panels overlay the finger actuatable members. The function panels comprise a flanged perimeter that detachably couples function panels to the game controller housing. The function panels comprise a surface defined by indicia that aligns with a button or switch to identify a function for a correlating button or switch.

  • Publication number: 20160242370
    Abstract: An automated plant irrigation system provides a habitable plant environment that automatically generates moisture, sunlight, and proper soil conditions for a plant, and allows the plant to be displayed and transferred between indoor and outdoor environments. The system provides generally artificial means to grow the plant, so that the plant can grow indoors. A plant container is used to contain and display the plant and soil. Once the plant has grown to a desired size and configuration, the plant container can transfer the plant outdoors for natural growth conditions and presentation. The container may include an ornamental design and be encapsulated by a transparent housing to enhance the display of the plant. A light source directionally emits artificial sunlight on the plant. A liquid dispensing device dispensed water and liquid nutrients onto the plant and soil. A control system automatically controls dispensing moisture and artificial sunlight.

  • Publication number: 20160233707
    Abstract: A power adapter with charging data display provides power to a battery of a communication device. The power adapter displays numbers and a progressive lighting system, such as LED lights, to indicate a power transfer rate, an estimated recharge time, and a completed charge time of the battery. In this manner, the charging status of the battery is made known, and the battery will not be overcharged, causing damage to the battery. A current detecting circuit detects a charging current passing through the battery, and derives a detected current signal. A voltage detecting circuit detects a charging voltage generated at the battery, and derives a detected voltage signal. Software calculates the power transfer rate, estimated recharge time, and completed charge time of the battery based on the detected voltage signal and detected current signal. A label panel includes apertures and labels that identify each of the charging data.
