Hanked cable

Systems and methods for hanking a cable are disclosed. A hanked cable may be formed by winding the cable around two or more mandrels attached to support members of a winding fixture. At least one of the mandrels can be removeably attached to the winding fixture to facilitate clamping the cable between the mandrel and the support member. The distance between mandrels may be varied by including, in the winding fixture, an adjustable stage for adjusting the relative positions of the mandrels. Once the cable is wound into a hanked configuration, it may be wrapped with a semi-rigid wrapping member to help retain the hanked shape.

Systems and methods for hanking a cable

This application is directed to packaging a camera product. A base is attached to a holding element that is configured to physically hold a camera and includes a holding element fastener structure. The holding element fastener structure is configured to mate with a base fastener structure associated with the base, providing both a first degree of freedom of motion and a second degree of freedom of motion for the holding element relative to the base. The holding element is rotated in a first direction via the first degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a first nominal position. The holding element is rotated in a second direction via the second degree of freedom until the holding element reaches a second nominal position. The holding element is configured to lie substantially in parallel with a planar surface of the base when it is rotated along the first and second directions.

Method of packaging camera facilitating ease of installation

This application discloses a method of preparing an assembly. A base assembly is provided and includes a base, and a second fastener structure coupled to the base at a joint. The base assembly is then attached to a receiving element that is configured to physically receive a module and includes a first fastener structure, when the first fastener structure is fastened onto the second fastener structure until the first fastener structure reaches a tightened position. After the first fastener structure reaches the tightened position, the receiving element is rotated reversely at the first degree of freedom of motion by a first angle to orient the receiving element to a nominal position. At the nominal position, the receiving element and the module received thereby are configured to face substantially up when they are flipped down via the joint at the second degree of freedom of motion.

The base assembly is then attached to a receiving element that is configured to physically receive a module and includes a first fastener structure. The first fastener structure is fastened with the second fastener structure and provides a first degree of freedom of motion of the receiving element with respect to the base, and the movement of the receiving element is unlimited in a first direction of travel associated with the first degree of freedom of motion. The receiving element is rotated along the first direction of travel until the receiving element reaches a nominal position at which the receiving element and the module received thereby are configured to face substantially up when they are flipped down via the joint.

The present invention includes a display apparatus including an item retention wall defining a cavity, and a suspension member coupled to the item retention wall, wherein the item retention wall is configured to retain an item within the cavity by a retention seal between the item and the item retention wall.

Display apparatus

Receiving and sending videos over a network such as the Internet. In one implementation, users upload videos to a web site in a variety of formats. The videos are transcoded and other users can view the videos by indicating their desire to do so on the site. In one embodiment, a video is streamed to the watching user using Flash and the user watches the video via a Flash player, for example, a flash player in his browser.
