Abstract: In a system including a processor and a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor, the computer-readable medium includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the system to perform receiving, from a remote system via a communication network, a first remote field of view (FOV) of a remote subject; causing, based on the received first remote FOV, a camera orienting unit to orient a camera in a first orientation, wherein the camera oriented in the first orientation has a first local FOV corresponding to the first remote FOV received from the remote system; upon orienting the camera in the first orientation, causing an image capturing unit to capture a first local image through a display; and transmitting, to the remote system via the communication network, the captured first local image.

Abstract: Various approaches described herein improve the quality of results when fusing depth maps to generate dynamic three-dimensional (“3D”) models, applying texture details to dynamic 3D models, or rendering views of textured, dynamic 3D models. For example, when fusing depth maps to generate a dynamic 3D model, a fusion component can also incorporate intrinsic color values for points of the dynamic 3D model, potentially making the dynamic 3D model more accurate, especially for areas in which depth values are not reliable or not available. As another example, when applying texture details, a rendering component can apply smoothed, viewpoint-dependent texture weights to texture values from different texture maps, which can reduce blurring and avoid the introduction of noticeable seams. As another example, a rendering component can apply special effects indicated by metadata to rendered views, thereby allowing a content provider to assert artistic control over presentation.

Abstract: A handle device adapted to be mounted to a container including a base defining a space, and a cover openably mounted to the base to cover the receiving space. The cover is formed with a through hole spatially communicated with the receiving space. The handle device includes a handle that is adapted to be mounted to the cover and that defines an installation space adapted to be spatially communicated with the through hole, and a receiving box that is detachably received in the installation space and that defines a feeding space spatially communicated with the installation space. A cooking apparatus including the container and the handle device is also provided.

Abstract: The apparatus of measuring a workpiece according to the present disclosure includes a base, a measuring member, an upper arm member, a lower arm member, a first pin and a second pin, wherein the upper arm member includes an upper rotation frame and the lower arm member includes a lower rotation frame. When the first pin is moved to disconnect the upper rotation frame from the lower rotation frame, the upper rotation frame is rotatable. When the second pin is moved to lock the lower rotation frame to the measuring member, the lower rotation frame is free of rotation. When the first pin is moved to connect the upper rotation frame and the lower rotation frame with each other and when the second pin is moved to unlock the lower rotation frame from the measuring member, the lower rotation frame is rotatable with the upper rotation frame.

Abstract: A C-axis driving device of a computer numerical controlled (CNC) lathing and milling machine includes a spindle, an encoder, a spindle motor, and a servo motor. The spindle has a clamping device and a transmission portion. This encoder connects with the transmission portion via an auxiliary timing belt. The spindle motor and the servo motor connect with the transmission portion via at least one driving timing belt. Only at most one of the spindle motor and the servo motor is to drive this transmission portion at any time during operation. So, it has a simple structure to achieve the clutching change function. It can save more space. And, it can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost.
