Patent CA-2444970-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOWERS WYNN
IPC: H04N5/225
Filed: 2002-04-23
Abstract: A system for sensing and displaying lens data for a cinematography zoom lens and camera in real time. A plurality of sensors are connected to the lens for producing signals continually representing the present positions of focus, zoom and T-stop setting rings of the lens. A range finder is positioned adjacent the lens for producing a signal representing the distance from the lens to an object located in front of the lens. A printed circuit board with a microprocessor receives and processes the signals and has a memory with data representing the focus, zoom and T-stop characteristics of that lens. A  display device is positioned adjacent the lens and selectively displays indicia representing the positions of the focus, zoom and T-stop settings, the distance to the object and the depth of field.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une suspension de poutre traînante comportant un mécanisme de réglage mécanique permettant d'aligner l'essieu et les roues d'un véhicule. La poutre traînante est montée sur le châssis du véhicule par un axe de pivot traversant un palier pendant et une pièce intermédiaire conventionnelle revêtue. Les côtés opposés du palier pendant comportent des ouvertures courbées alignées recevant l'axe de pivot. Ce dernier passe à travers des bras de pivot reliés de manière à pivoter aux côtés du palier pendant. Les bras de pivot sont reliés à une fourche à laquelle est fixé l'axe de réglage. Le mouvement de l'axe de réglage déplace la fourche vers l'avant et vers l'arrière. Le mouvement de ladite fourche fait pivoter les bras de pivot, et déplace, par la même, l'axe de pivot dans un sens avant et arrière. Lorsque la poutre traînante est alignée, la pièce intermédiaire de pivot est resserrée, ce qui se traduit par l'alignement souhaité de la poutre traînante, de l'essieu et des roues.
