  • Publication number: 20230032321
    Abstract: This document describes asymmetric camera sensor positioning for enhanced package detection. In aspects, an electronic doorbell has an image sensor that is rotated to a portrait orientation and vertically shifted relative to a lens of a camera, resulting in asymmetric positioning of the image sensor relative to the lens. The lens projects an image circle onto the image sensor and the image sensor has a sensor detection area having upper corners within the image circle and lower corners outside of the image circle to enable capture of an object located in a lower portion of the image circle and proximate to an edge of the image circle. Then, lens distortion correction is performed on a captured image to provide a final image usable to detect the package, which may be located within the image circle but outside of a conventional sensor detection area.

  • Patent number: 5140896
    Abstract: An improved rotisserie grill is provided and consists of an elongated rectangular framework having four vertical legs, one in each corner and two side cross members, each extending horizontally between two legs. A rotatable spit is supported longitudinally above the framework. An electric motor is supported on the framework to rotate the spit. A semi-cylindrical fire bowl having a curved inner surface is affixed to the framework with the side cross members supporting the bottom ends of the fire bowl. A grate is carried in the fire bowl to hold fuel thereon so that when the fuel is burned the curved inner surface of the fire bowl will reflect heat towards the rotating spit.
