International Classification:

G06F 3/01

Abstract:

A varifocal head mounted display (HMD) includes an electronic display, an optical system, and the guidance system. The electronic display presents content. The optical system includes one or more optical elements and provides the content to an eyebox of the HMD. The guidance system is a flexure based guidance system that includes an actuator and a first and second flexure elements (e.g., parallel beam, dual Roberts, etc.) guiding movement of the electronic display along an optical axis of the optical system in order to adjust a location of one or moveable elements in the optical system and, thereby, control a location of an image plane. The first and second flexure elements are able to flex or bend with movement of the actuator to adjust the location of the one or moveable elements that includes the electronic display and/or one or more optical elements of the optical system.

Abstract:

A crab butchering machine removes the carapace, mandibles and tail from a crab by timing actuation of tools depending upon the measured dimensions of the carapace. A measuring tool determines the location of the front and rear of the carapace relative to the saddle, securing and advancing the crab through the machine. The positions of the ends of the tools that operate on the crab are known. After measuring, the crab is advanced into a calculated position relative to a first tool, whereby an arm moves upwards, separating the carapace from the crab. The crab is next advanced past a second tool that lifts the carapace away from the crab carcass, allowing a third tool to move upwards, separating the carapace and tail from the carcass when the saddle is in a second calculated position. The remaining leg clusters are separated and released from the saddle for further processing.
