Dynamic projection of at least first and second patterns contributes detectable disparity onto a scene that includes a target object. The scene is imaged with two-dimensional cameras whose acquired imagery includes disparity contributions whose presence enable a three-dimensional reconstruction depth map to be rapidly and accurately generated. In one embodiment coherent light is input to a first DOE within whose near range output is disposed a second DOE, whose far range output projects an image. Electronically varying effective optical distance between the two DOEs varies the pattern projected from the second DOE. A processor system and algorithms enable dynamic intelligent selection of projected patterns to more readily discern target object characteristics: shape, size, velocity. Patterns can implement spatio-temporal depth reconstruction, spatio-temporal depth reconstruction, and even single-camera spatio-temporal light coding reconstruction. Target objects may be scanned or may make gestures that are rapidly detected and recognized by the system and method.

A focal-plane shutter for digital still cameras is constructed so that a first driving member for a first blade connected to the first blade is biased by a cocking spring to rotate clockwise and a second driving member for the first blade is biased by a driving spring to rotate counterclockwise. A driving member for a second blade connected to the second blade is biased by a driving spring to rotate counterclockwise. An exposure aperture is fully opened before photographing, and when a cocking member is rotated in a clockwise direction in photographing, the first driving member is released from the holding of the cocking member and is rotated, and the exposure aperture is covered by the first blade. After that, when releasing members are separated from the iron cores of respective electromagnets, locks of locking members are released, and the driving members are rotated counterclockwise in turn. Consequently, exposure is carried out through a slit formed by the first blade and the second blade.

A rotatable lock pin that inhibits forced entry into a container through a closure by securing the lock pin to the container. A lock pin has a pin cylinder with a curvature of rotation that engages with a rotation facilitator.
