Abstract: The present invention is a computer controlled display device. In one embodiment, the display device includes a flat panel display having an input for receiving display data. Additionally, a moveable assembly may be coupled to the display. The moveable assembly may provide at least three degrees of freedom of movement for the flat panel display device. Additionally, the moveable assembly may have a cross-sectional area, which is substantially less than a cross-sectional area of a display structure of the flat panel display.

Abstract: A computer controlled display device. In one embodiment, the computer controlled display device includes a flat panel display having an input for receiving data and a moveable assembly coupled to the display. A motor may be operatively coupled to a tension device disposed within the moveable assembly. The motor applies a force to the tension device to suspend movement of the moveable assembly, and also releases the force to permit movement of said moveable assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for accurately timing speed of aquatic vehicles, particularly for water skiing competition and the like. Floating magnetic generating transmitters are placed under one or more linearly aligned buoys configured to accommodate an aquatic vehicle's path. Water-tight detection means is placed on the aquatic vehicle for receiving a series of signals which are induced when the vehicle cuts through the magnetic field produced at a plurality of such buoys. The signals, responsive to the vehicle speed, are amplified and extraneous high frequencies attenuated, and speed or course traverse time calculated and displayed.
