Abstract: A fully automatic, head mounted, hand and eye free camera System and photography are disclosed. The fully automatic, head mounted, hand and eye free camera System consist of three components: A) a head mounted camera header, B) a portable personal computer, and C) a hand hold controller. The component A (head mounted camera header) is composed of two set of eye ball trackers/range finder/digital camera headers. The component B (portable personal computer) control eye ball tracker and the range finder to determine the direction of eye sight and the distance between the eye and the target, and adjusts the lens of the digital camera header to aim at and focus on target to take pictures or record video and to save the pictures or video to the storage of the portable personal computer. The user control whole system by pressing the buttons at component C (hand hold controller).

Abstract: A follow robot is disclosed. The follow robot comprises body, head, limbs and muscles same as or proportional with human's body, head, limbs and muscle in shape, size, Specific Gravity (SG) and Center of Gravity (CG). The follow robot's joints are same as or proportional with human's joints and can turn around to reach same angle as human's joints. The follow robot's head, body, limbs, bones and joints possess the same or proportional support ability as human's head, body, limb, bones and joints, and are droved by artificial muscle, step motor, hydraulic pressure component. Many position and distance sensors are mounted on or around a man, which measure any action of the man continuously. These movement signals are collected by a Personal computer (PC) and transmitted to the follow robot. Following these signals, the follow robot repeats every movement of the man, acts exactly same as the man. Many sensors are also mounted on the follow robot; they are eyes, ears, skin and noses of the follow robot.

Abstract: Method, system, and program to record sound to a photograph and to play back are disclosed. By creating a 2-dimensional barcode of sound and printing the barcode onto a photograph, the sound can be permanently recorded on the photograph and be play back. This procedure can be easily implemented with low cost. The 2-dimensional barcode is printed on the either side or the back of the photograph during printing the photograph or after. Using an ordinary optical scanner, or a digital camera, or a handhold 2-dimensional barcode reader, user can read back the 2-dimensional barcode on the photograph and decodes 2-dimensional barcode and finally recover the sound. Thus, when the users look at the photograph, users can hear the voice, speech or song of the person on the photograph, or the surrounding sound when the picture was taken, or other types of sound such as music etc.

Abstract: A computer controlled data acquisition device for connection to a computing device includes a high speed serial port for connecting to the computing device, an A/D and D/A converter coupled to the serial port, a processor coupled to the serial port and to the A/D and D/A converter, an adaptor coupled to the A/D and D/A converter and to the processor, a detector for detecting data coupled to the adaptor, and an output controller coupled to the adaptor.
