Publication number: 20230231967Abstract: A system includes a video device for capturing, at a viewing time, a first video image corresponding to a foundation scene at a setting, the foundation scene viewed at the viewing time from a vantage position. A memory stores a library of image data including media generated at a time prior to the viewing time. A vantage position monitor tracks the vantage position and generating vantage position of a human viewer. A digital video data controller selects from the image data in the library, at the viewing time and based on the vantage position data, a plurality of second images corresponding to a modifying scene at the setting, the modifying scene further corresponding to the vantage position. A combiner combines the first video image and the plurality of second images to create a composite image for display.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Stuart Wilkinson

Publication number: 20200164288Abstract: Apparatus for treating water has a container having a clarification zone, a water entry arrangement for flowing water into the clarification zone, and water exit units mounted to the container for at least partial immersion in the water in the clarification zone. Each water exit unit has a transfer channel for transferring a flow of clarified water from a layer of the water to a predetermined depth in the clarification zone and to direct the received clarified water to a water exit arrangement. A height adjustment mechanism is used for differentially adjusting the heights of the water exit units and their transfer channels relative to the container so as to compensate for any angular tilt of the container owing to the container being deployed on sloping ground.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 29, 2020Publication date: May 28, 2020Inventors: Jason Downey, Jeffrey Kempson, Stuart Wilkinson

Patent number: 7114203Abstract: A lateral transfer accessory (LTA) expands the capabilities of overhead ceiling lifts(OCLs). The accessory includes passive mechanical components requiring no electrical power supply or batteries. The accessory is powered by the OCL. In a particular embodiment, the LTA is a mobile unit positioned adjacent to the side of a patient's bed or gurney. A pair of releasable patient draw straps are secured to and coiled around patient draw pulleys. The free ends of the draw straps are attached to the draw sheet beneath the patient. A drive pulley carries a drive strap. The drive strap is secured to the pull strap of the overhead ceiling lift (OCL) positioned over the accessory. The OCL is controlled to draw out the drive strap from the accessory to thereby operate the main drive. The main drive, in turn, actuates the patient draw pulley to retract the patient draw straps attached to the draw sheet and thereby laterally transfer the patient.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 3, 2006Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Veterans AffairsInventors: John Derek Lloyd, Stuart Wilkinson
