Apparatus for transmitting motion to a moveable body comprising: a first bar having ends; two articulated arms, each comprising first and second arms connected at a joint having an axis about which the first and second arms rotate, wherein the first arms are of equal length, the second arms are of equal length and the second arm of each articulated arm is connected to a different end of the bar at a joint having an axis about which second arm and bar rotate; a mount connected to the first arm of each articulated arm at a joint having an axis about which first arm rotates; a second bar coupled to each articulated arm at a joint having an axis about which the second bar rotates; and a piezoelectric motor coupled to the first bar controllable to apply a force selectively in either direction along the bar's length; wherein, the joints are configured so that all the axes are substantially parallel and the first arms are parallel and the second arms are parallel for all rotations about the axes.

Piezoelectric transmission systems

A transport system for moving and positioning an object comprising: a tube () having an axis of rotation and formed with threads () on at least a portion of its surface; at least one platform () to which the object () is mountable having threads that mesh with the threads of the tube; at least one linear guide () along which the at least one platform moves freely that prevents rotation of the at least one platform when the tube rotates about its axis of rotation; and a piezoelectric motor controllable to rotate the tube and thereby selectively translate the at least one platform in either direction along the tube's axis of rotation.

Platform transport systems

A video telecommunications device and a camera unit for a video telecommunications device. A camera is mounted on the telecommunications device by a motor capable of rotating the camera on the telecommunications device. A position sensor senses the rotational position of the camera on the telecommunications device, and a position control input device enables provision of a control signal indicating a desired rotational position for the camera on the telecommunications device. A controller that is responsive to the control signal and the sensed position of the camera causes the motor to rotate the camera so as to position the camera in the desired rotational position on the telecommunications device, providing the desired video picture. A telecommunications coupler couples the camera unit to the telecommunications device, enabling the telecommunications device to communicate the image sensed by the camera lens to a receiving telecommunications device.
