20140258782 | RECOVERY MATURITY MODEL (RMM) FOR READINESS-BASED CONTROL OF DISASTER RECOVERY TESTING - A Recovery Maturity Model (RMM) is used to determine whether a particular Information Technology (IT) production environment can be expected, with some level of confidence, to successfully execute a test for disaster recovery (DR). The RMM provides a quantitative analysis in terms of the extent to which best practices are seen to have been implemented as a set of categories for elements of the environment and multiple elements for each category. A summation of the scoring elements, which may be a weighted summation, results in an overall quantitative metric which is then used to control whether or not testing will proceed. | 09-11-2014 |

20100128122 | CAMERA HAVING A SLIP RING AND PAN-TILT MECHANISM - A camera system having a camera lens module, a slip ring connector, and a pan/tilt mechanism. In one construction, the camera system includes a circuit board, a slip ring having a stator connected to the circuit board and a rotor rotatable with respect to the stator, a camera lens module, and a flexible flat cable. The camera system can also include an anti-rotation arm connected to the rotor and in contact with a first end of the flexible flat cable. The anti-rotation arm can prevent a twist of the flexible flat cable during panning of the camera lens module. | 05-27-2010 |
20120045197 | DOME CAMERA ENCLOSURE WITH VIRTUAL TILT PIVOT MECHANISM - A surveillance camera arrangement includes a substantially spherical enclosure having a substantially round optical region. The optical region has better optical qualities than a remainder of the enclosure. A camera is disposed within the enclosure. The camera has a lens with an optical axis extending approximately through a midpoint of the optical region. An actuatable mechanism is coupled to the enclosure and to the camera. The mechanism pivots both the enclosure and the camera in both pan and tilt directions such that the optical axis of the camera remains substantially aligned with the midpoint of the optical region. | 02-23-2012 |
20120206604 | SURVEILLANCE CAMERA WITH INTEGRAL LARGE-DOMAIN SENSOR - A surveillance camera arrangement includes a first camera that performs panning movements about a pan axis, and that performs tilting movements within a plane of tilting motion. The plane of tilting motion is offset from, and substantially parallel to, the pan axis. A second camera is substantially aligned with the pan axis. The second camera has a wider field of view than the first camera. | 08-16-2012 |
20150085182 | MOVING CAMERA WITH OFF-AXIS SLIP RING ASSEMBLY - A camera unit includes a housing, a pan stage disposed inside the housing and rotatable relative to the housing about a pan axis, a camera lens assembly coupled to the pan stage, and a slip ring assembly having a slip ring stator fixedly coupled to the pan stage at a location offset from the pan axis. | 03-26-2015 |

20080251342 | OVER RUNNING CLUTCH FOR A DIRECT DRIVE MOTOR OPERATOR - An over running clutch assembly for an electrical switching apparatus is provided. The over running clutch assembly includes a sprocket and a hub assembly. The hub assembly is rotatably coupled to the sprocket and structured to rotate in a charging direction relative to the sprocket. The sprocket is fixed to a motor shaft. The hub assembly is structured to be disengagably fixed to a cam shaft in the charging assembly. A manual charging handle is also coupled to the cam shaft and is structured to rotate the cam shaft in a charging direction. In this configuration, an operator may charge the closing springs of the electrical switching apparatus using either the handle assembly or the motor. When the handle assembly is used to charge the closing springs, the cam shaft causes the hub assembly to rotate over the sprocket. Thus, the rotation of the cam shaft is not transferred to the motor. When the motor is used, the motor turns both the sprocket and the hub assembly. The hub assembly transfers the rotational force from the motor to the cam shaft. | 10-16-2008 |
