An integrated hands-free, point of view, action-sports, digital video camera (or camcorder) () includes: a rotary horizon adjustment controller () for adjusting the orientation of a horizontal image plane () recorded by an image sensor with respect to the orientation of a camera housing (); a laser alignment system with laser sources () capable of projecting light to define a horizontal projection axis () that is coordinated with orientation of the horizontal image plane (); a manually operable switch (), which covers a microphone () whenever the switch () is in the OFF position, for controlling video data capture; and a 'quick-release' mounting system () that retains a desired orientation of the camera ().

A compact folding furniture piece constructed as a table is configured for convenient storage. The folding furniture piece comprises an object support assembly that is configured for operative connection to a mounting structure and includes a spring mechanism securing together as a flexible unit a support mount, an articulated vertebral column, and a table base. The spring mechanism exhibits flexibility properties such that the object support assembly assumes at rest an unfolded state and, in response to an externally applied bending force, assumes a folded state. In the unfolded state, the vertebral column is substantially straight to provide a closed support surface. In the folded state, the vertebral column is curved to provide a raised, open support surface on which an object can rest.

An image viewing device is matable with a smart device to enhance a user's viewing experience of multimedia content. A display surface of the smart device is not visible to a user when the smart device is inserted into an opening in a back surface opposite a display screen (e.g., touchscreen) of the image viewing device. During operation, the smart device communicates display information to the image viewing device so that multimedia content appears on the touchscreen. For example, the smart device communicates picture or video information to the image viewing device.

Customizable modular multi-function communication device

A configurable modular communication device is composed of an information delivery module and an information input module that are matable to each other. The information delivery module is a single base unit that can work with a touchscreen keypad or a number of modular keypad or other information input attachments. The information input module enables a user to change the look of the modular communication device according to personal taste and enhances its functionality to fit the exact occasion and mode of use. The information delivery module acts on its own as the navigation key and provides on its display screen menu (including an on-screen touch sensing keypad) user access to all functionality including telephone, PDA (personal digital assistant), camera, clock, GPS, and MP3 music player. User-controlled navigation takes place on or in the vicinity of the display screen, whether by hard or soft key actuation.

A portable, compact folding furniture piece () constructed as a seat or table is configured for convenient storage. The folding furniture piece comprises an object support assembly () that is configured for operative connection to a mounting structure () and includes a spring mechanism () securing together as a flexible unit a support mount (), an articulated vertebral column (), and a support base (). The spring mechanism exhibits flexibility properties such that the object support assembly assumes at rest an unfolded state and, in response to an externally applied bending force, assumes a folded state. In the unfolded state, the vertebral column is substantially straight to provide a closed support surface (). In the folded state, the vertebral column is curved to provide a raised, open support surface on which an object can rest. Depending on the embodiment of the furniture piece, the object can be a person or thing.

A fastening member used for, e.g., a disposable absorbent article is disclosed. The fastening member extends in a longitudinal direction and in a lateral direction and has a lateral centerline. The fastening member comprises a base panel and a shaped tab extending laterally from the base panel. The shaped tab has a longitudinal centerline, a lateral centerline, a distal portion and a proximal portion. The shaped tab has a contour edge comprising a shaped upper edge and a shaped lower edge. The shaped upper edge and the shaped lower edge are symmetric with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the shaped tab when relatively shifted in the longitudinal direction and are asymmetric with respect to the lateral centerline of the fastening member.

A container for storing and dispensing wipes that includes an extendable orifice. The orifice is extendable into the storage space of the wipes container to position an opening in close proximity with the top of a stack of wipes stored in the container. The extendable orifice may also act to reduce moisture loss in the case of wet-wipes and reduce the occurrence of fall-back.
