  • Patent number: 12127365
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for connecting a power distribution unit (PDU) to a rack where the apparatus allows for re-positioning the PDU between a deployed position for normal use and a retracted position for shipping. The re-positioning may be accomplished without disconnecting the PDU from the rack, or from a power supply. The apparatus includes three hinged elements that are rotatable with respect to each other to attain the deployed or retracted position.

  • Publication number: 20120105439
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for providing 3D content-centric solutions that greatly improve the quality and impact of 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary 3D media playback and display solutions, thus maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom. The novel system and method accomplish these goals by providing modular unifying scalable 3D content-centered solutions, preferably implemented in a configurable infrastructure, that improve the quality and impact of any 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary playback and display solutions.

  • Publication number: 20100214286
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for enabling multiple parties to access and utilize, separately, in parallel, and/or on a collaborative basis, a plurality of distributed modular 3D content-centric solutions that are operable to greatly improve the quality and impact of 3D media content, while decreasing the required levels of computing power, and lowering the complexity of the necessary 3D media playback and display solutions, thus maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom. The inventive system and method facilitate and enable multiple parties to work individually or to collaborate, in a scalable and managed manner and at varying degrees, in customizable modular processes of generating, converting into, and/or beneficially processing 3D media content to produce enhanced 3D media content, and thereby greatly improving and maximizing the 3D experience produced therefrom.
