Telecommunications device

A hub and a camera mount configured to support a video camera. The camera mount and hub are detachably mountable with respect to each other in any of at least two different configurations, preferably with adjustability in at least one configuration. In some embodiments, the camera mount includes a first structure including a retainer and camera support, a slide translatably mounted to the first structure, and a foot having a first end pivotably attached to the slide. The retainer is shaped to engage a surface of an object to which the camera mount is to be mounted. Other aspects are a camera mount, and a camera mount alone. Optionally, in one configuration the hub is mountable to a wall or other surface.

Configurable and adjustable video conferencing apparatus

An apparatus may include: a stationary module; a movable module having an outer surface and a substrate; a tactile switch secured on a first side of the substrate; a light indicator secured on a second side of the substrate, the first side and the second side being opposing sides of the substrate, etc. The movable module is configured to generate a spatial displacement relative to the stationary module along a spatial direction in response to a physical force exerted on the outer surface along the spatial direction.

Mechanical structure for button on satellite microphone

An apparatus may include an inner module, an outer module that substantially surrounds a perimeter of the inner module, a plurality of light emitters, and a light distribution medium. The plurality of light emitters may be positioned under the inner module and project light radially outward. The light distribution medium may transport the light projected from the plurality of light emitters to an edge of the light distribution medium. The edge may include a diffusive surface and traverse a substantial portion of a boundary between the inner module and the outer module.

Electronic device

A telecommunications device () comprises a base part (), a cap part (), a body part (), a control panel (), an upper light ring (), a lower light ring (), a plurality of sound microphones and a plurality of sound speakers. The cap part () is concave in shape. The body part () is frusto-conical in shape and tapers outwardly away from the cap part () towards the base part (). The body part () and the cap part () cover the sound microphones and the sound speakers. The control panel () is inclined relative to the plane of the support surface () and relative to the plane of the base part (). The control panel () protrudes upwardly from the upper edge of the body part () over the concave cap part (), and the control panel () protrudes downwardly from the lower edge of the body part (). The control panel () controls operation of the sound microphones and the sound speakers. The upper light ring () is located between the cap part () and the body part (). The lower light ring () is located between the body part () and the base part (). When the device () is in an active state in which the device () is capable of capturing sound and/or rendering sound, each of the light rings () emits light to indicate the active state of the device ().

In a live audio presentation system, a stage rack and a front of house rack are interconnected by a transmission medium that transmits digital audio data and control information between them. Packets of digital audio data and control information are sent at the audio sampling rate. The packets of data are encoded using an encoding technique that provides unique codes that may be detected, thus enabling clock recovery of a clock signal embedded in the data packets. Data packets may include data for error checking. A serial digital transmission medium may be used as the transmission medium. Such a transmission medium uses low voltage signals and supports high bit rates. The system is synchronized by the FOH rack which transmits data to the stage rack according to a local audio sample clock or an external audio sample clock to which it synchronizes. This clock is embedded in data packets sent to the stage rack. The stack rack recovers the audio sample clock from data received from the FOH rack and synchronizes its receive and transmit operations to this recovered clock. The FOH rack recovers the audio sample clock from data received from the stage rack and synchronizes its receive operations to this recovered clock. The FOH rack may include an embedded computer that processes the digital audio data, and may include DSP processing that handles so-called plug-in software. A digital audio workstation or sequencer also may be connected to the FOH rack to either record the live presentation or to inject edited, recorded audio into the live presentation.

System for live audio presentations

An apparatus and method for transferring data among clients of a time division multiplexed network is provided. In one aspect of the preset invention the apparatus includes clock circuits that allow for a variable number of time slots and a variable bus cycle of the network. In another aspect of the present invention a network interface module includes an indirection register that contains relationships between memory storage locations and channels of a time domain multiplexed network. In yet another aspect of the present invention, a network interface module is provided that comprises a memory, and first and second registers. In one mode of operation of the network interface module, data from the memory for a client is pre-fetched from the memory, prior to the start of a bus cycle and is stored in the registers to minimize memory access delays in the system.

A support device and method for use of a support device with a miniature electronic device are provided by the present invention. Use of the miniature electronic device is facilitated by the present invention's anchoring the miniature electronic device and ergonomically supporting the operator's hand such relative to the miniature electronic device. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the support device includes a base member having a receiving member adapted to securably receive a miniature electronic device formed in an upper surface of the base member. The base member is preferably formed of an elastomeric material. The upper surface of the base member is dimensioned to support the hand of an operator of the miniature electronic device, such that the level of the operator's hand is substantially coplanar with the level of the top surface of the miniature electronic device. The receiving member can be positioned to accommodate right or left-handed operators. The receiving member can be formed either completely through the base member, as a depression that does not extend through the base member, and can be an insert member joined with the base member. The base member can be adapted for attachment to a fixed or to a mobile supporting surface.

Support device and method for use with a miniature electronic device

A wafer handler featuring a carriage movable along a rail path, the carriage supporting an upright rotatable arm with a cantilevered wafer chuck. Elevators for raising and lowering trays containing wafer stacks are disposed on either side of the rail path. Each elevator has a curved track section which may be interposed along the rail path. The upright arm has a track follower, parallel to a boom supporting the wafer chuck and freely movable along the rail path, except when it encounters a curved track section. In this instance, the track follower will follow the curved track section, causing rotation of the arm, boom and wafer chuck, bringing the chuck into the wafer stack at an elevation determined by the elevator. In this manner, motion in the X, Y and Z planes may be provided for stacked wafers over extended distances.

Wafer handling apparatus

A wafer orienting apparatus having inwardly biased rollers, spaced about the circumferential edge of a wafer in contact with the edge. Two of the rollers are spaced apart a distance less than the dimension of a primary flat registration edge and are mounted to follow the wafer edge upon rotation of the wafer. When a flat registration edge passes these closely spaced rollers they move inwardly, activating switches associated with a coincidence circuit. When both switches are simultaneously activated, the coincidence circuit produces a signal which stops wafer rotation, thereby orienting the wafer. The rollers are mounted so that they can be moved from the path of wafer travel after wafer orientation, permitting a queue of wafers to be oriented, one after the other.
