摘要:
A film cassette has frangible means that initially operates as a spool lock and as a cam for moving a blocking device in a camera out of the way of the cassette when the cassette is first loaded into the camera but which when broken by a fracturing device in the camera is rendered inoperative as a spool lock and as a cam.

Load prevention apparatus is to be used with a film cassette which has a frangible exterior label covering a trap-like cavity in the cassette. The apparatus comprises a loading chamber configured to receive the cassette, blocking means arranged in the chamber to be admitted into the trap-like cavity for engaging the cassette to prevent further insertion of the cassette into the chamber but supported to be moved by the exterior label out of the way of the trap-like cavity to avoid engaging the cassette, and fracturing means arranged in the chamber for breaking the exterior label to uncover the trap-like cavity after the blocking means is moved by the exterior label out of the way of the trap-like cavity, whereby the blocking device will prevent insertion of the cassette into the chamber a second time.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention pertain to determining presentation effects for a sequence of digital content records based at least upon a comparison of environmental conditions in which the digital content records were captured. Examples of such environmental conditions include time-date of capture, geographic location of capture, direction of capture, altitude of capture, etc. By determining presentation effects based upon environmental conditions, such presentation effects can be quickly and intelligently determined, with reduced user interaction as compared to conventional schemes.

Systems and methods are provided for presenting digital images using a plurality of digital media frames separated spatially along at least two axes. In one aspect the method comprises the steps of obtaining the digital images to be presented determining the multi-dimensional relationship between the digital media frames analyzing the digital images and any associated metadata to assign an image perspective determination to each of the digital images and determining an arrangement of the digital images for presentation on the plurality of the digital media frames according to the multi-dimensional relationship between the digital media frames and according to the determined image perspectives.

A thermal printer cartridge is provided. The thermal printer cartridge comprising: a supply housing having a drive end and a non-drive end; a take-up housing having a drive end and a non-drive end; a stiffening linkage joining the non-drive end of the supply housing to the non-drive end of the take-up housing, the stiffening linkage being capable of elastic deflection to absorb a portion of the energy from an impact load; an elastically deformable linkage joining the drive ends, the resilient linkage being adapted to elastically deflect following a first deflection pattern and to absorb another portion of an amount of energy from a impact load; and a damping linkage joining the drive ends, the damping linkage being adapted to elastically deflect following a second deflection pattern that is different than the first deflection pattern and to absorb still another portion of an amount of energy from the impact load.
摘要:
A method of improving recognition of a particular person in images by constructing a composite model of at least the portion of the head of that particular person, includes acquiring a collection of images taken during a particular event; identifying image(s) having a particular person in the collection; identifying one or more features in the identified image(s) associated with that particular person; searching the collection using the identified features to identify the particular person in other images of the collection; and constructing a composite model of at least a portion of the particular person's head using identified images of the particular person.
摘要:
A method and digital media frame array are provided comprising a plurality of digital media frame supports each support being adapted to support at least one digital media frame, an array structure positioning the plurality of frame supports to define at least a two-dimensional arrangement of the plurality of digital media frames; an array interface adapted to communicate with one of the digital media frames using the digital media frame interface; an array interaction system having at least one form of user interface device adapted to receive or generate an environmental stimulus; and; an array controller being adapted to cause the array interface to communicate with one of the digital media frames so that when the digital media frame is supported by the digital media frame array the digital media frame array can interact with its environment in ways that the digital media frame cannot do when not so supported.

A lens system is provided. The lens system includes a first lens system moveable between a first position removed from an optical axis and a second position on the optical axis. The first lens system includes a first lens element, an aperture stop, and a second lens element positioned in order from an object side to an image side of the lens system. The first lens system has a first focal length. A second lens system is moveable between a first position on the optical axis and a second position removed from the optical axis. The second lens system has a second focal length with the second focal length being greater than the first focal length such that a magnification ratio change results from interchanging the first lens system and the second system on the optical axis.
摘要:
A camera has a wide-angle taking lens and a telephoto taking lens for forming simultaneous wide-angle and telephoto images of the same subject, to make wide-angle and telephoto simultaneous exposures on a single frame of film. A wide-angle/telephoto selection indicator is supported for movement between the taking lenses and the frame of film to prevent either the wide-angle or telephoto image from being fully exposed on the frame of film. Thus, one of the simultaneous exposures is provided with an indication that it is not to be printed as a picture.

In a first aspect of the present invention, a camera exposure control system is provided. The camera exposure control system has a shutter movable during an exposure period through a path of travel between a first position and a second position and a detector to sense the shutter and to generate a signal when the shutter is at a flash trigger position on the path of travel. A flash circuit is provided and receives the signal generated by the detector causing a flash of light to discharge when the signal is received. A stop is also provided. The stop is selectably movable from a location out of the path of travel of the shutter to a location in the path of travel of the shutter. The location of the stop determines whether the detector can sense the shutter during the exposure.
