United States Patent Office 3,437,753 Patented Apr. 8, 1969 3,437,753 PAN AND TILT TELEVISION CAMERA Joe D. Stith, Muskogee, Okla., assignor to Coburn Manufacturing Company, Inc., Muskogee, kla., a corporation of Oklahoma Filed Dec. 7, 1965, Ser. No. 512,058 Int. Cl. H01 29/02; I-I04n 3/10; G03b 17/00 US. Cl. 178-7.81 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention is directed to a remote control system for controlling the orientation of remotely positioned cameras. The system comprises a network of switches for actuating electric motors each of which are mounted on the camera support. One motor causes a horizontal scanning movement of the camera through a gear arrangement; another motor causes a vertical scanning movement of the camera through a crank and pitman arrangement.
This invention relatesgenerally to camera systems and more particularly to a novel supporting device for cameras which provides for remote control of the orientation thereof.
This invention is specifically adapted for, but not limited to, use with a network of remote television surveillance or monitoring cameras. The use of systems of this type is increasingly widespread in military and industrial installation security, production monitoring and like uses. Prior art systems, in general, utilized fixed camera installations thereby limiting the capability of the systems by reducing the scope of view available at individual camera stations.
It is an object of this invention to provide a remote visual monitoring system with a monitoring scope which is greatly increased over prior art systems by furnishing means to remotely orient each of the cameras of the system.
It is another object of this invention to provide a novel support for remotely controlled cameras which furnishes full tilt and pan capability for the camera by employing simple mechanical linkages and a minimum of moving parts.
It is a further object of this invention to furnish a pan and tilt mechanism for remotely controlled cameras which is efficient, compact and easily fabricated by providing a rotatably mounted camera support with supportmounted power units for accomplishing the pan and tilt.
These and other objects of the invention will become more readily understood to those skilled in the art by reference to the following detailed description wherein like parts are indicated by like numerals throughout the figures thereof and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a schematic view of a remotely controlled monitoring system in accordance with the invention;
FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view partly in section of a monitoring camera and mount of the system of FIG- URE l; and
FIGURE 3 in a sectional view of a portion of the device of FIGURE 2 taken along the lines 33 thereof.
Turning now to FIGURE 1 of the drawings, a system incorporating the precepts of this invention as specifically applied to a closed circuit television monitoring application, is shown schematically. A series of television cameras 10, suitably placed at locations throughout a plant where monitoring is desired, are connected by individual control and transmission lines 12 to a remote switching unit 14. The remote switching unit 14 is, in turn, connected to a control panel 16 by a transmission and control line 18. The control panel 16 includes a master camera selector switch 20 which, through the transmission and control line 18 operates a slave switch in the remote switching unit 14 to select the camera for which transmission and control is to be accomplished at any particular time. Vertical and horizontal camera attitude control switches 22 and 24 respectively are included in the control panel 16 to provide for panning or tilting of a selected camera as desired. The operation of the pan and tilt mechanism will be described in greater detail below. A transmission line 26 connects the selected camera to a television monitoring set 28.
With reference now to FIGURE 2, the mounting and actuating structure of each of the cameras 10 is shown in enlarged detail. An upright member 30 is mounted for rotation about its longitudinal aXis on a stationary platform 32 through a bearing 34 affixed in the platform. A camera supporting base 36 is mounted for pivoting about a horizontal axis on the upper end of the upright 30 and supports the camera 10 thereon.
The camera orientation structure comprises means to rotate the upright 30 around its vertical axis and means to tilt the supporting base 36 about its pivotal horizontal axis. The first mentioned means comprises a stationary spur gear 38 mounted on the platform 32 and a vertically disposed motor 40 mounted on the upright 30. A driving gear 42 is mounted on the drive shaft of the motor 40 in meshed engagement with the stationary gear 38. The motor 40 is suitably connected to the remote switching unit 14 (FIGURE 1), through the transmission and control line 12 corresponding to the camera on which it is mounted, for energization thereof by suitable actuation of the switch 24. Means are also provided for reversal of the drive direction of the motor 40 by suitable actuation of the switch 24 to the right or to the left as desired. The switch 24 is preferably of the double pole type and is spring loaded to a neutral position so that deflection of the switch to either the right or to the left will energize the motor in the appropriate direction. A pair of limit switches 44 are disposed in the electrical power circuit to the motor 40 and serve to break the circuit thereto when the upright 30 has been rotated to a certain degree as will be described in more detail below.
The tilting means comprise a horizontally disposed motor 46 mounted on the upright 30 and connected to the camera 10 at a point spaced from the pivotal connection of the mount 36 to the upright 30. This connection comprises a pitman arrangement including a crank 48 mounted on the drive shaft of the motor 46 and a pitman arm 50 pivotally connecting the camera 10 and to the crank 48. The motor 46 is also connected to the remote switching unit 14 (FIGURE 1), through the transmission and control line 12 corresponding to the camera selected, for energization thereof by the switch 22 on the control panel 16. The motor 46 is also of the reversible type and the controlling switch 22 is preferably a tWo pole spring loaded switch, identical to switch 24, controlling the direction of rotation of the motor 46 in the same manner as described for that switch.
In FIGURE 3, the disposition of the limit switches 44 is shown in clearer detail. A switch actuating arm 52, mounted for rotation with the support 30 extends between the trip arms of the switches 44 and, as the member 30 is rotated to one extreme or the other, actuates the proper switch to interrupt rotation of the mount at that limit. The electrical circuitry is preferably arranged so that the motor may be reversed, on interruption of the circuit powering rotation in one direction, by any of the devices or circuits known to those skilled in the art.
It should be obvious that the particular linkages for providing the pan and tilt motions may be varied if so desired within the intended scope of the invention. For example, the crank-pitman arm arrangement of the tilting means could be substituted for the spur gear drive of the panning means and, by proper design, eliminate the need for limit switches 44.
The utilization of the remote switching unit 14 reduces the number of separate lines required in the transmission and control line 18 thereby reducing the complexity and cost of the equipment.
In operation, the system is energized by a suitable power switch (not shown) and each camera of the system is selected by proper positioning of the selector switch 20. By so positioning the switch, the image from the selected camera is transmitted to the monitoring set 28 and the drive motors of that camera are connected to the control switches 22 and 24 through the slave switch in the remote switching unit 14. If a further field of view is desired at any of the monitored stations, the vertical and horizontal control switches 22 and 24 are suitably displaced to energize the required motor and reorient the camera as is desired. For example, in FIGURE 2, if it is desired to tilt the camera through its full vertical span, the switch 22 could be displaced upwardly and held in that position while the motor drives the base 36 to its full upward position. Because of the crank and pitman connection, a continued enefgization of the motor 46 in the same direction will cause the base 36 to recycle and tilt ultimately to its lowest position and so on. If, at any point, it is desired to reverse the tilt, the switch 22 may be depressed for reversal of the motor 46.
In a similar fashion, the camera may be simultaneously or separately panned by suitable energization of the motor 40 by right or left displacement of the switch 24. At the limits, as determined by the disposition of the limit switches 44, the motor 40 is reversed by reverse displacement of the switch 24 for return of the camera towards the center.
What has been set forth above is intended to be exemplary to enable those skilled in the art in the practice of the invention. It should therefore be understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced other than as specifically described.
What is new and therefore desired to be protected by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. An apparatus for remotely positioning a camera unit comprising a stationary platform, a rotatable upright mounted on said platform for rotation about a vertical axis, a tiltable supporting base mounted on said upright for tilting about a horizontal axis, a camera mounted to said base, a first electric motor vertically mounted on said upright, a drive gear mounted on the drive shaft of said first motor, a spur gear fixed to said platform in concentric relationship to said upright and meshing with said drive gear for rotating said upright, a second electric motor horizontally mounted on said upright, a crank means mounted on the drive shaft of said second motor, a connecting rod pivotally connecting said crank and said camera at a point spaced from the axis of tilt of said base for tilting said supporting base, means to remotely control actuation of said first and second electric motors and limit switches mounted on said platform to restrict the action and rotation of said upright between angularly spaced limits.
2. The apparatus for remotely positioning a camera unit of claim 1 wherein a plurality of camera units are provided and said means to remotely control actuation of said motors includes switch means for selecting a single camera unit to be positioned.

Flickering Fairy
If Love.. - Poem by Flickering Fairy
if you had told me that stars are twinkling to make me smile,
probably, I'd have had doubts in my mind;
if you had told me that the earth would cease its existence
once with the rapid blink of my eyes,
I would have not totally believed it.
if the waves of the sea hadn't stroken the sandy shores
how would have people known that in its depthness treasures are hidden?
if a romantic song had been brought to an end,
wouldn't have another voice hesitated to bring it back to us anew?
if the scarlet curtains of an old theater had been let down,
and the performers had been redrawed beneath the ragged veils of
dust and smoke..and oh! tell me, my beloved,
wouldn't they have been the following day ready for representation?
if dreams had suddenly been collapsed into oblivion
wouldn't have had a blue butterly stretching its wings
for the first time capable of forsaking them all?
if love had been born from Aphrodite's tear,
lost into the sparkling depthness of a restless sea,
wouldn't it have kept in the purity of its essence,
the blinding brilliance of the celestial fire given by Prometheus to
if love had been a temple,
wouldn't all mortals have brought sacrifices inside it?

Thus, there is a lot of love in the parking lots surrounding University of Phoenix Stadium before this game. So, of course we get guy Kansas State fan dressed as Santa Claus happily taking pictures with four Oregon fans with sombreros and maracas.
Let the good times roll. The Purple Santa, one of the more random get-ups you'll find from a fan, drew plenty of double takes even when he wasn't with the Fiesta Ducks.
There doesn't seem to be more purple out among the crowd than florescent yellow; both fan bases showed out pretty equally. Not that it's the toughest ticket in the world - one scalper was willing to sell upper-deck tickets for $10 or $20, depending on what you wanted - but it's a crowd that's happy to be here.
Here's more of the scene:
Even this guy taunting Kansas State's band in the parking lot as it marched through the parking lots followed up by wishing luck to all of the Wildcats fans nearby. It's not exactly a Chargers-Raiders vibe among the fans today.
On another aside, the band must have walked through the entire greater Phoenix area and they were still going strong more than an hour later. If Bill Snyder needs the tuba player in the fourth quarter, he'll be ready. Impressive showing.
Nothing says NCAA quite like selling an unpaid player's jersey for $30 at the official souvenir stand outside.
One thing is for certain - Oregon fans stand out a lot more. There's only so much you can do with purple.
After all, the guy wearing these socks (with the Nikes - of course the Nikes) is gonna stand out, until he blows out your retinas.
Looks fun, I suppose, but ...
Who let this kid in????? Good thing these fan bases are so friendly. You know this act of rebellion is killing his parents.
Seriously, does anyone know who the sponsor of this game is? Just wish they advertised it a bit more.
There are bags of Tostitos-brand chips everywhere you go at the media hotel as well. Disappointed this game isn't sponsored by a beer company.
The statue of U.S. Army Specialist Pat Tillman outside the stadium. A big salute.
This is a great venue for what should be a really good football game. Enjoy Oregon-Kansas State everyone.

MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL OUTLET Filed July 28, 1959 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 INVENTOR, Mama/v0 H. 1 /047 Oct. 17, 1961 H. H. HOLT MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL OUTLET 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed July 28, 1959 INVENTOR. Mar/now A! #04 BY /T7'0,A/V
Un d Secs t -MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL OUTLET Hammond H. Holt, Sherman Oaks, Califi, assignor, by mesne assignments, to Brl-Son Electronics, Inc., Los Angeles, Calif., a corporation of California Filed July 28, 1959, Ser. No. 830,140 6 Claims. (Cl. 339-159) This invention relates to multiple electrical outlet plug units, and particularly to such a plug unit which may be used as a single multiple unit, a pair of which may be combined separately or integrally to double the number of outlets.
Multiple electrical outlet plugs of different types are well known, the present invention having a new construction providing economy in manufacture, increased rehability, and greater efiiciency in the conservation of space. Instead of two symmetrical sections abutting one another which depend upon'the metal contact springs or pins to prevent rotation with-respect to one another, the symmetrical sections of the plug to be descnbed'm detail hereinafter interlock with oneanother to prevent rotation and, thus, form a particularly rugged, integral unit. Each spring contact ha's'its own receptacle, housing or cavity,
which isolates it from the other spring contacts and which prevents strain among thecontact elements and: reduces the possibility of short circuits'within the outlet plug Another feature is that the construction is symmetrical not only as to the interlocking sections but along-a center line of a six-outlet unit, which permits two three-outlet units to be combined to form a six-outletunitif an integral six-outlet unit is not desired. The unit may be assembled without riveting'or the use of'similar fastening means.
The principal object of the invention, therefore, is to facilitate the connection of multiple load devices to a single wall or line outlet.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved multiple electrical outlet which requires a minimum of space with optimum safety and reliability.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved multiple electrical outlet plug which has interlock identical sections for economy in manufacture and which may be constructed as a single multiple unit or a double multiple unit.
A better understanding of this invention may be had from the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a six-outlet integral multiple electrical plug unit embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the unit shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view of one section of the unit shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the other section of the unit shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 55 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of two of the electrical contact spring assemblies; and
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a single multiple plug unit embodying the invention.
Referring, now, to the drawings in which the same reference numerals identify the same elements, the sixoutlet unit shown in FIGS. 1 through 6 has two identical sections 5 and 6 in which are screw holes 7 and 8 showing that screws may be used for fastening the sections 5 and 6 together although these sections may be held to gether by friction, glue, or other suitable means. A standard decorative plate 12 of plastic or metal may be attached to the unit by the screws holding the unit sections together. In FIG. 2, the unit is shown partially inserted in a double wall outlet shown by dotted lines 10, and two load connectors are shown at 3 and 4 in FIG. 1.
Referring, now, to FIGS. 3 and 4 showing the details of construction of the two identical sections 5 and 6, in diametric corners of section 5 are partitions or walls 15 and 16 in the form of a square block on plate 17, and in diametric corners of section 6 are partitions or walls 19 and 20 in the form of a square block on plate 21. The plates and walls of sections 5 and 6 may be of plastic or similar material, and their construction is such that they may be easily molded. These partitions are of the height shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, which is the height of the spring cavity walls and cavity closing tabs.
Six spring contact cavities are shown in each section 5 and 6, end cavities 23 and 24 being formed in part by one of the walls of blocks 15 and 16, respectively, and walls 25 and 26, respectively. Cavities 28 and 29 of section 6 are formed in part by the walls 30 and 31 and a wall of blocks 19 and 20, respectively. The side cavities 33, 34, 35, and 36 in section 5 are formed in part by walls 38 and 39 for cavity 33, walls 40 and 41 for cavity 34, walls 42 and 43 for cavity 35, and walls 44 and 45 for cavity 36. In section 6, the side cavities 47, 48, 49, and are formed in part by walls 52 and 53 for cavity 47, walls 54 and 55 for cavity 48, walls 56 and 57 for cavity 49, and walls 58 and 59 for cavity 50.
To further close these spring contact cavities, a plurality of small tab walls or ribs are provided. On plate 17 is tab wall 61 which when sections 5 and 6 are com bined-by folding the two sections on one another, closes an end of cavity 28 as shown by dotted lines 62. A corresponding tab wall 64 on plate 21 closes an end of cavity 23 as shown by dotted lines 65. At the other ends of sections 5 and 6, a tab wall 63 on plate 21 closes an end of cavity 24 as shown by dotted lines 66, while the tab wall 67 on plate 17 closes an end of cavity 29 as shown by dotted lines 68.
With respect to cavity 48 on plate 21, an end thereof is closed by tab wall 69 on plate 17 as shown by dotted lines 70. To close an end of cavity 34 on plate 17, tab Wall 72 on plate 21 is used as shown by dotted lines 73. Likewise, for cavity 35 on plate 17, tab wall 74 on plate 21 is used as shown by dotted lines '75, and for cavity 49, tab wall 77 is used as shown by dotted lines 78. For cavity 36, tab wall 79 is used as shown by dotted lines 80, while for cavity 50, tab wall 82 is used as shown by dotted lines 83. For cavity 33, tab wall 71 on plate 21 is used as shown by dotted lines 76 on plate 17, while for cavity 47, tab wall 84 on plate 17 is used as shown by dotted lines 46.
The other ends of the cavities are open. to permit the entry of the prongs of the connectors of the load cords, it being noted each entry end is tapered to hold the ends of the spring contacts, the ends of the spring contacts being slightly spaced from the inside surfaces of the cavity walls to permit easy separation thereof to accommodate the prongs of the connectors.
Referring, now, to FIGS. 5 and 6, the unit 85 has three spring contacts 86, 87, and 88 and along prong 89, while unit 90 has spring contacts 91, 92, and 93 and a shorter prong 94. The unit 90* is shown in the upper portion of section 5 in FIG. 3, this unit being a flat, conducting metal, such as copper, interconnecting the three spring contacts, the shorter prong 94 passing through plate 17. The unit 85 is shown in the upper portion of section 6 of FIG. 4 with the long prong 89 extending upwardly from the paper. This prong will pass through slot 96 in plate 17 when the two sections are combined. Two units similar to units 85 and 90 are used at 97 and 98, the short prong being at 100 and the long prong at 102, respectively.
Slot 103 accommodates the long prong 102. These spring contact units need only be placed in position as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and no rivets, screws, or other means are required to'fasten them to the plates 17 and 2 1.
- The above-described multiple plug unit will suflice for six outlets in the minimum of space from the face of the wall outlet, and Will be entirely enclosed with parallel spring contacts isolated from one another for safety. Since sections 5' and 6- are identi-cfl, the manufacturing cost of the plug is reduced, While the prong units 85 and hi? are practically the same. The unit is rapidly assembled since the sections can be held together by any suitable means. Although the sections 5 and 6 can be folded over one another, as mentioned above, section 5 could be rotated 180 degrees and placed on section 6 since the sections are symmetrical along both horizontal and vertical center lines.
Referring, now, to FIG. 7, a single multiple unit is shown in which only three outlets are provided with only two prongs. This is exactly one-halt of the unit shown in FIG. 1 and is composed of a plate 105 with a cover plate 111, a duplicae reverse plate 196 with prongs 197, which may be held together with a screw in hole 110. Parallel outlets slots are shown at 108 and 169', the third slot being on another edge of the unit. Since corner blocks and-19 are not used, a wall 112 along the center line to close the fourth edge will have one-half on each plate Hi5 and 18:6. However, the unit shown in HQ. 7 could be exactly one-half of the unit shown in FIG. 1 and two of such single multiple units could be combined to form the double multiple unit.

The Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law by President Obama in January, has been called "historic" because it puts the focus of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on prevention — working to ensure that unsafe foods are not distributed in the first place.
FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg says the law directs the agency to oversee food safety in a way that applies "the best available science and good common sense to prevent the problems that can make people sick."
What lends the new law additional importance is that it provides FDA with new enforcement and inspection authorities.
"These new authorities are critical for the law's success," said Michael R. Taylor, FDA's deputy commissioner for foods. "They give the food companies strong additional incentives for keeping their products safe, and that helps us achieve the new law's goal, which is to protect consumers from unsafe food."
Foodborne outbreaks are a significant public health burden that increases the cost of the nation's health care and, as Taylor has emphasized, many of them can be prevented. And keeping foodborne outbreaks from happening in the first place is what FDA intends to do by implementing the following key provisions:
Preventive Measures
Food adulteration can be caused by many factors, including bacterial or chemical contamination, filth or decomposition, the presence of an unsafe food additive, being prepared, packed or held under insanitary conditions, and leaving valuable materials out of the product or substituting other, inferior materials.
Misbranding food can be caused by ways that include not declaring certain ingredients or major food allergens, and not complying with nutrition information content on labeling.
This tool allows FDA to effectively remove the food from distribution channels while the agency pursues legal or other enforcement actions.
Enforcement Measures
The new law also strengthens FDA's enforcement tools in the event that potentially unsafe food has already entered the marketplace.
FDA is also directed by the law to upgrade its ability to track both domestic and imported foods. To do this, FDA will establish pilot projects to test how to rapidly identify recipients of food — this is critical information FDA needs to rapidly find the source of a foodborne outbreak and to understand its scope.
"Product tracing doesn't prevent an outbreak, as it's more about response," says Bill Correll at FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "However, it can prevent further illnesses during an outbreak when FDA can determine the source, contain further exposure and get the product recalled and out of distribution and consumer households."
Positive Feedback
The new FDA authorities have been widely acclaimed by consumer advocates as well as industry.
Caroline Smith DeWaal, the veteran food safety director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, has hailed FSMA as a far-reaching improvement over previous food safety laws. "The bill contains important provisions for prevention, standard setting and enhanced enforcement. It will significantly reinforce the FDA's food safety program," she predicts, "and help the agency advance in its public health mission."
Kathy Means, vice president of the Produce Marketing Association, said that members of her organization "regard FSMA as a law that takes a good, comprehensive look at food safety. It sets the expectations for food safety measures by the industry, and it sets the priorities for the FDA — all of which is important for keeping our food safe."

We report volatile (H2O, CO2, F, S, Cl) and trace element data for submarine alkalic basalt glasses from the three youngest Samoan volcanoes, Ta'u, Malumalu and Vailulu'u. Most samples are visibly sulfide saturated, so have likely lost some S during fractionation. Cl/K ratios (0.04 – 0.15) extend to higher values than pristine MORBs, but are suspected to be partly due to source differences since Cl/K roughly varies as a function of 87Sr/86Sr. There are no resolvable differences in the relative enrichment of F among sources, and compatibility of F during mantle melting is established to be nearly identical to Nd. Shallow degassing has affected CO2 in all samples, and H2O only in the most shallowly erupted samples from Vailulu'u. Absolute water contents are high for Samoa (0.63 – 1.50 wt%), but relative enrichment of water compared to equally incompatible trace elements (Ce, La) is low and falls entirely below normal MORB values. H2O/Ce (58 – 157) and H2O/La (120 – 350) correlate inversely with 87Sr/86Sr compositions (0.7045 – 0.7089). This leads us to believe that, because of very fast diffusion of hydrogen in mantle minerals, recycled lithospheric material with high initial water and trace element content will lose water to the drier ambient mantle during storage within the inner Earth. The net result is the counter-intuitive appearance of greater dehydration with greater mantle enrichment. We expect that subducted slabs will experience a two-stage dehydration history, first within subduction zones and then in the ambient mantle during long-term convective mixing.
