Abstract: A telepresence robot uses a series of connectible modules and preferably includes a head module adapted to receive and cooperate with a third party telecommunication device that includes a display screen. The module design provides cost advantages with respect to shipping and storage while also allowing flexibility in robot configuration and specialized applications.

Abstract: A modified delta linkage robot uses a reverse orientation arm linkage that includes an inwardly direct lower arm. This reverse arm orientation provides a number of advantages with respect to access over an extending surface such as may occur in a home, office or other environments shared with people. The delta linkage may also have application in certain factory environments, particularly when combined with an omni wheeled base. The linkage and the preferred linkage and omni wheeled base provide a stable movable platform. In addition this combination can advantageously include a number of sensors to take active steps to discourage and/or reduce the effect of sudden forces applied thereto.

Abstract: A vehicle monitoring system uses at least one image capture device located on a vehicle and provides two or more associated images for combined display on an autostereoscopic display provided adjacent an operator. Preferably the images are processed for display and provide the operator with visual information that otherwise may not be available. The invention is directed to both apparatus and method for providing of this information.

Abstract: The present system and method provides for a new digital media paradigm enabling tight choreography of motion, content and, time able to be presented on a variety of hardware platforms consisting of robotic control of a multiplicity of display screens in the form of a movable array of 2 or more LCDs, LEDs, OLEDs, etc., with the movement and placement of each display achieved by one multi-axis manipulator arm mechanism. Motion control is achieved through software programmed onto one or more controller systems, and the corresponding tools necessary for creative visual designers to produce content meeting this new paradigm are also proposed. Each arm/display screen combination is kept aware of its positioning in physical space, relative to the positioning of each and every other arm/display screen at all times, in order to prevent collisions.

Abstract: The investment arrangement funnels the knowledge and strategies of a host of advisors through an impartial system leveraged by a host of investors to access, evaluate and then easily invest in one or more strategies. Investment is made by an investment company which acts as a holding company for the investor. The advisor provides instructions to the investment company regarding buy and sell instructions. The strategy of each advisor is clearly stated and investments are restricted to the strategy. The investment company provides a database of all trades by an advisor so that both actual and relative performance can be measured.
