Title: A method of depicting an image
Inventor: WALTER BROWN MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: G06T3/00
Filed: 2006-04-19
Granted: 2011-06-23
Abstract: A method of depicting an image at a predetermined image position comprises the step of transforming an original image using an image transformation process, the image transformation process being adapted to transform the original image according to a positional relationship between the predetermined image position and a predetermined viewing position. One or more surface characteristics of an image surface (3) at the predetermined image position are determined, and used to adapt the image transformation process. In its simplest form, the invention characterises the image surface (3) as a single plane. Any orientation that the plane of the image surface (3) may take up in three-dimensional space is quantified in terms of the degree of rotation that the plane of the image surface takes from that of a horizontal plane (5), separately, about the transverse axis (9) and/or the longitudinal axis (11) passing through a focal point in the image. The image surface may also be partitioned into a plurality of sections, each section being quantified in terms of the degree of rotation that the plane of each section takes. The transformed image is placed on the image surface at said predetermined image position. The invention also provides an improved method of applying an image using a template.

Title: Manually operable electrically powered tool
Inventor: FUNG GEORGE
IPC: B25F5/00
Filed: 2007-05-18
Granted: 2012-11-08
Abstract: A power tool (10) is described which has several modes of operation, such as drilling and screw driving modes. A clutch is provided with various settings for adjusting the torque at which the clutch interrupts power to a spindle (18). Furthermore, a two speed gearbox (16) is provided for adjusting the speed of the spindle. All of these variables are controllable from a single adjustment member or collar (26) thereby reducing necessary decisions needed to be made by an operator for a particular job in hand. For instance, when an operator wants the tool to operate in a screw driving mode, the gearbox is automatically set to drive the spindle at a low speed with the clutch being operable to interrupt drive when a torque force applied to the spindle exceeds a threshold value. Furthermore, if the tool is required to operate in a drilling mode, the gearbox is automatically switched to drive the spindle at a higher speed and the clutch is automatically rendered inoperable.
