  • Publication number: 20120043360
    Abstract: A camera carrying enclosure for use with a camera having an engagement member. The enclosure includes a shoulder strap and a camera attachment strap with one end thereof slidably attached to the shoulder strap and the other end attachable to the camera or similar device. The enclosure permits the user to transition the camera from a secured transport position to a secured operating position. The enclosure is configurable to provide several manners of transporting the camera. A wrist strap is selectively connectable to the enclosure or the camera.

  • Publication number: 20120014686
    Abstract: An enhanced camera transport system and method includes a strap and coupler. The coupler is configured to engage with an attachment point on a camera otherwise reserved by engagement with a camera stand such as a tripod, monopod, or the like. Following general camera construction, the attachment point is found on the bottom of the camera. In some implementations, the coupler is slideably attached to the strap to assist with repositioning of the camera from a transport position to a picture taking position. Other implementations include an enclosure for storage of the camera while not being used.

  • Patent number: 7124642
    Abstract: A dual gauge system determines pressures of two separately contained gases by use of two separate pointer—Bourdon tube sections within the dual gauge. The Bourdon tube of a first one of the sections is gaseously coupled to a first one of the contained gases to determine pressure of the first one of the contained gases and a Bourdon tube of a second one of the sections is gaseously coupled to a second one of the contained gases to determine pressure of the second one of the contained gases. Accuracy of pressure determination is enhanced by allowing for separate calibration of each of the two gauge sections.
