An intercom system is provided having a plurality of intercom stations coupled to a digital network, each station transmitting intercom data onto a channel of the network. Each station receives intercom data from each other station and selects channels to be amplified and output to a speaker. Each station may listen to and talk to any other station or any selected group of stations. Processing of signals from the network is performed in each station, thereby eliminating the need for a centralized mixing and switching device. Stations may be added merely by connecting them to the network. The intercom system may be configured in a non-blocking mode or in a blocking mode.

A mount for being positioned on a rail and for receiving a fishing rod holder is provided. The mount includes a retaining member having a pair of spaced-apart walls that are interconnected on respective first ends by a connecting wall, the pair of spaced-apart walls defining a gap therebetween and a compression block selectively receivable within the gap of the retaining member and having a width that approximates a width of the rail. A fastener engages the compression block and extends from about respective second ends of each wall of the pair of spaced-apart walls and is configured such that tightening of the fastener deforms at least one wall of the pair of spaced-apart walls into engagement with the compression block, thereby providing an interference fit between the pair of spaced-apart walls of the retaining member and the rail.

A transportable, easily adjustable, readily assembled and collapsible podium for use in lectures. The podium comprises a solid front panel, against which the lecture material rests; a lip projecting outwardly from the substantial bottom of the front panel, upon which the lecture material sits; and a base, which may rest on a supporting surface. The podium further comprises a pivoting arm hingedly attached to the backside of the front panel providing stable, angularly adjustable prop means for the lecture material to be viewed at the angle most comfortable for the user. Once in its assembled form, the podium will not spontaneously collapse or disassemble when handled or if grabbed at the front panel because of the podium's interlocking means between the pivoting arm and base. The pivoting arm effortlessly slips into one of several openings in the base and interlocks with the rim of the opening, locking it into place.

An accessory is provided that includes power supply module, a first functional module, and a second functional module. The power supply module can be configured to be suspended beneath an overhead support, such as a hub of an umbrella. The first functional module is configured to affix to the power supply module and to be powered by the power supply module to provide a user directed function. The second functional module is configured to be detachably coupled to either the power supply module or the first functional module to receive power from the power supply module directly or through the first functional module.

A system and method for analyzing movement of a person includes: measuring kinetic data as the person ambulates with a pair of removable force sensors affixed to a person's ankles, feet, shoes or lower-limb prosthesis with each of the pair of force sensors on a different one of the person's ankle, feet, shoes or lower-limb prosthesis; obtaining kinematic data as the person ambulates with at least one video camera that video records the person ambulating without markers; and temporally synchronizing the kinetic data and the kinematic data together.

A single rail film dolly and slider includes a substantially V-shaped rail arrangement and a guide arrangement. The V-shaped rail arrangement is adapted to be secured to a tripod. The guide arrangement includes a plurality of wheels, wherein a first portion of the plurality of wheels frictionally engages an interior side of the V-shaped rail arrangement and a second portion of the plurality of wheels frictionally engages an exterior side of the V-shaped rail arrangement. The guide arrangement is adapted to accommodate a camera mounted thereon.

A golf training aid device that has an elongated plane arm, a pivot device coupled to the plane arm and a base member coupled to the pivot device. The base member is configured to stably support the pivot device and the plane arm in a desired swing plane. The pivot device and plane arm are configured in combination to provide for movement of the plane arm at an angle relative to the base member. The pivot device locks the plane arm in a locked position at an angle to establish the desired swing plane.

The invention relates to a thermoforming machine which comprises a framework; a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate which are disposed on the framework at an interval; a male mould and a complementary female mould disposed on each pressure plate respectively; an in-mould cutting element with a complementary profile provided in the mould; two drive devices cooperating with each pressure plate and being used for moving the pressure plates to a first movement position for clamping plate material, a second movement position for stretching and forming the plate material, a third movement position for cutting the plate, and a fourth movement position for forming the mould-opening configuration; and a part for ejecting and forming from the mould cavity in the mould-opening configuration and a ejection device of the cut plate. The drive device comprises a prime motor; a spline unit connected to the prime motor; and a link rod positioned between the spline unit and each pressure plate to drive the movement.

The invention discloses an energy-saving and temperature-regulating module. A whole body of the energy-saving and temperature-regulating module is a rectangular body, and comprises a heat insulation unit and a phase change unit, wherein the phase change unit comprises a hollow rectangular case, an inner cavity of the rectangular case is provided with an equipressure film for dividing the inner cavity of the rectangular case into a phase change space and a pressure regulation space, gas-liquid phase change materials are arranged in the phase change space, a valve rubber tube communicated with the pressure regulation space is arranged on the rectangular case, the heat insulation unit is a rectangular body made of heat insulation materials, the size of the heat insulation unit is matched with that the phase change unit, and the heat insulation unit is dismountably connected at one side of the phase change unit by adopting a tenon-and-mortise fit mode.
