One of my shutter releases developed for the 'Woody' robitic panoramic heads.
This one was for my Fuji S9500 which had a shutter button threaded for an old-fashioned cable release.
Flat Lego plates with gear teeth are fixed to a sliding beam on the inside. When the wheel turns it operates another small gear inside which pushes the sliding beam along to operate the cable release. To zero it it I turn the gears until the sliding beam just touches the plunger on the release.
Never felt really safe with this one because I worried that if I got the programming wrong the beam might keep pushing after the shutter had fired. Thought this might damage the button on the camera or even pop it right off!
I suppose I could put a spacer on the plunger to limit its range of movement.
Now superseded, first by an 'electronic remote' plugged into the side of the camera - the contacts were pressed together by a cam on a Lego motor instead of by hand. That was supersede in turn by a similar system but the contacts were replaced by relays which were operated directly from the Lego brick. Saves a motor and is smaller as well as more reliable.
Mindsensors are going to supply a device which will add rotation control to the older rcx motors as well as the new power function units. These are all smaller than the Mindstorms motors so can make units like this a bit neater.
Designed to mount directly to overhead ladder rack or cable tray, Siemonʼs Cable Tray Rack delivers 4U of easily installed and accessible 19 inch rack mount space above cabinets and racks without consuming additional floor space, making it ideal for use as a Zone Distribution Area (ZDA) or Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) in data centers. Used with copper patch panels or fiber enclosures, the cable tray rack can increase cabling
density, improve cable routing, simplify moves, adds and changes and provide pre-cabled connectivity for rapid deployment of new cabinets, racks and equipment.
Improved Thermal Efficiency — Helps improve airflow by managing patching fields and cabling above cabinets and racks, minimizing obstruction of equipment cooling features.
Rapid Data Center Deployment — Can be used in conjunction with Siemon’s pre-terminated copper and fiber solutions to reduce installation time.
Open Compatibility — Rack mount solution attaches to all common overhead cable tray and ladder rack systems, including Siemon’s RouteIT system.
These monitor stands are totally custom. They're two 2-foot pieces of aspen stained with American Walnut and coated in oil-based polyurathane. They hold up really well and prevent all the scratches the desktop was getting from that huge CRT. They also help cover up cable clutter really nice. They're elevated about a centimeter from the desktop with metal dowels covered in rubber.
69kvs and 26kvs going over I-80. Note how PSE&G doesn't use insulators on their crossarms for the 69kv.
I had to take the obligatory picture of the Wellington Cable Car; I'm sure it's been done a million times, but it is a wonderful view. The weather was horribly windy with lots of rain both the day before and the day after, so we were lucky to be there on a nice day.
This view is from the Wellington Botanic Garden station at the top-end of the cable car line. Central Wellington and the harbor can be seen in the distance.
