We used this company for my bachelorette party. The service was great, the driver was very respectful and genuine. I would highly recommend this company again! Prices were also very reasonable!!
Wedding: Recently Married
Services Used: Transportation
We had an absolutely amazing time and this company is great! When it comes to limo companies, you definitely get what you pay for! The price was all inclusive so we did not have to worry about cash and tips on the day of which was really nice. Our driver was extremely prompt, courteous, and flexible. The bus had a great sound system and tons of room! We highly recommend this company.

I cannot say enough about Chauffered Elegance. They were prompt, clean, kind, and professional. We hired them for the first time for my daughter's wedding, and my daughter said that they were just great! I have since hired them to pick me up from the airport, and again I cannot say enough about the experience. They were a breath of fresh air at the end of a long day of very tough travel.
Whenever I have a need to either book a limo, or am trying to figure out how to get someone from point 'A' to point 'B', I turn to these guys first. They aren't always available, because they are so good, so if you're interested book them quickly!
Wedding: 07/25/2014
Services Used: Transportation
Chauffeured Elegance was an integral part of my wedding day and they delivered without any hitches! Due to flooding, we had to move venues just a week prior to the wedding and the hotel was not close to our new venue! Chauffeured Elegance not only was so flexible and kind in dealing with the changes, but in their pity for me they also gave me great deals on a second shuttle they still had available for the evening. And of course all my guest waited until the very end of the night to leave, which left the wedding party without a shuttle! But no way did they let that happen! They called their offices and made an extra trip for us for only a small fee. They were absolutely fantastic, reasonably priced, and so kind. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you for making our day worry free!

Chauffeured Elegance Transportation did a phenomenal job for our daughters wedding. They provided shuttle service from our hotel to the wedding venue for the bridal party and all of our guests and then brought them home again at the end of the evening. Setting up the contract was easy and seamless with their help and professionalism. They went out of their way to make sure our scheduling needs were met while still keeping our costs and total hours affordable. Our driver was outstanding, always taking good care of our guests. He was at all times polite, fun and a perfect gentleman. He made everyone feel comfortable. We would highly recommend this service.

We had a limo for the bachelorette party. The car was clean, the driver was friendly and on time. We booked them for the wedding too.
Oct. 2014 Your driver was absolutely wonderful. I understand we had a drunk guest and the driver went the extra mile to ensure her safety. At one point, she moved the van to block the young woman's exit from the parking lot until someone could convince her not to drive drunk. We are grateful that Chauffeured Elegance provided great service for both our bachelorette party and wedding.
Thanks so very much!

Colleen was so helpful with organizing everything for our wedding. The limo bus we had was amazing we couldn't have asked for a better limo bus to have for out wedding. The driver was super nice and stopped many times on the way for our photographer to take pictures before we got to our reception. I definitely would recommend chauffered elegance to any bride and groom to be for their special day or any other event!

Chauffeured Elegance Transportation was wonderful! They exceeded my expectations and were so easy to work with. My brother first used them back in 2011 for his wedding and I knew that was the route I wanted to go when I got married in 2013. Colleen is great at speedy responses and they are more than reasonable. Thanks for a great experience!

The service that Chauffeured gave us was exactly what we were looking for. The driver was very professional and helped us check to make sure we didn't leave anything behind. Due to the rain I think we changed our photo location which he didn't mind. The 13 passenger bus/van was perfect. It was affordable and held our entire wedding party plus a few extras. I liked that vehicle due to the ease of entry and exit. The girls had no problems climbing in and out in their heels and dresses. It was also spacious enough to fit our coolers and bags of snacks. I'd highly recommend this vehicle to any group making short trips between a wedding, photos, and a reception and will surely rent from Chauffeured Elegance in the future. Thanks again!

Nasacort AQ
Chronic overdosage may result in signs/symptoms of hypercorticism [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]. There are no data on the effects of acute or chronic overdosage with NASACORT AQ Nasal Spray. Because of low systemic bioavailability and an absence of acute drug-related systemic findings in clinical studies overdose is unlikely to require any therapy other than observation.
Acute overdosing with the intranasal dosage form is unlikely in view of the total amount of active ingredient present and low bioavailability of triamcinolone acetonide. In the event that the entire contents of the bottle were administered all at once, via either oral or nasal application, clinically significant systemic adverse events would most likely not result.
NASACORT AQ should not be administered to patients with a history of hypersensitivity to triamcinolone acetonide or to any of the other ingredients of this preparation.

#BENGHAZI: 60 Minutes Catches Up A Year Later
Lara Logan and CBS 60 Minutes producer Max McClellan presented a feature on Benghazi last night. The opening sounds like the story is being taken seriously unless you consider that perhaps this isn't being used to set the record straight, but to direct where the needle goes next. As of this report, the 60 Minute Record is skipping right over Clinton and the White House.

9/11 Is Also Patriot Day
It's coming up on 9/11. For the majority of people, 9/11 is the title most used, but it's also known as Patriot Day or at least it was. President Obama renamed it to 'Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance' in 2009 (Read H.R. 1388 Sec. 1802 part k). Obama reminded us of his name change in 2010, 2011 and in 2012 but Wikipedia wants you to think it happened in 2012. Regardless of what this President added, changed or tried to downplay — it remains Patriot Day. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
9/11 has been a day marked by horror – twice. One would think very few people would ever forget what happened on that Tuesday in September or at the mission in Benghazi where Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty were murdered. Yet many have. Some forget quite easily and in rather ugly ways: Continue reading

Islam is as much about one's spirituality as the social ties which bind humans together. In that sense, Islam is concerned not only about the individual but the larger society as well.

In the Quran, God declares, "…In God's eyes, the most honored of you are the ones most mindful of Him: God is all knowing, all aware" (49:13).

Shariah: An Introduction
The final prophet of Islam, Muhammad, peace be upon him, began receiving revelations from God at the age of 40 in 610 C.E. Over the next 23 years, the Quran, the holy book of Islam, was gradually revealed which represents not only the spiritual fountainhead for Muslims but is also the foremost source for Shariah.

Watchlist Anxiety
When I was a child, my parents read me a bedtime story that gave me nightmares for years. It was called, "Rusty in Orchestraville." It had no monsters, no witches, no violence of any kind, but it terrified me. It was the story of a boy who loved music, but could never decide which instrument he wanted to play. Every time he chose one; he started to worry they there was another, better instrument for him out there. He kept abandoning each choice to pick up something new. As an old man, he realized that although all his friends had become great musicians, he had let his opportunities slip away from him because he was unwilling to make a decision. I understand Rusty's anxiety. In many areas of our lives, picking one thing feels like closing a door on so many other options. This phenomenon can trip up your trading just as easily as it can any other area of life.
The Collar Trade – A Strategy For Any Market Scenario
As the S&P 500 continues to defy gravity and head to all-time highs, investors are facing a bit of a dilemma. The "greed" monster on one shoulder wants to stay long the market and continue to benefit from potentially higher equity prices despite the fact that this index has not had a 10% correction in several years and is potentially overdue for just such an event. The "fear" monster on the other shoulder wants to book profits now and "run for the hills" or perhaps be even more aggressive and enter bearish trades in advance of a true market turn lower. What's an educated investor with great knowledge of options instruments likely to do? The collar trade of course.
Black Swans, Rare Diseases and Other Common Events
In 16th century London, the phrase "Black Swan" was a metaphor used to connote something fictional: something that did or could not exist. In 1697, explorer Willem de Vlamingh discovered actual black swans in Western Australia. In a flash, one metaphor died, and the Black Swan rose, phoenix like, with an entirely new meaning. The term "Black Swan" is now commonly used to mean an unpredictable or random event that creates an extreme or disruptive impact. Such events can be negative like a natural disaster or the 9/11 attacks, or positive, like the discovery of a radical new technology. In either case, they pose a difficult problem for traders and investors.
The Wolf of Wall Street
Do you know Jordan Belfort? He is the author of the book that was the basis of the movie with this title. Friends who recently saw the movie, THE WOLF OF WALL STREET, expressed different opinions of it. Some said that the movie was repulsive, and others said that it was so entertaining that they paid to see it a second time in a short time span! What do you think the underlying basis for this opinion is? I viewed those who were repulsed as non-traders who were freaked out by the viciousness of trading and wild drug/sex behavior. Those who were spell-bound may be folks who don't mind being in full competition with peers. (And, they may not be offended by wild drug/sex behavior!)
When to Walk Away
Years ago, I became a student at Options Animal because they promised to teach me something that seemed almost like magic — how to "adjust" a trade that wasn't working into something profitable. Adjusting is indeed a powerful tool. The techniques I learned at OA and that I now have the privilege of teaching to others have made my trading safer and more profitable. However, I also learned something just as valuable – that there is a time to walk away from a trade and move on to something new.
Looming Partial Gridlock in Washington – Good for the Market
The market can be fickle. Some days, there are "hurricanes" of bad news and the market seems to chug along. Other days, a whisper of a wind seems to send the market into turmoil. What is moving the market today is most likely due to investor fears around weakness in the global market, strengthening of the US dollar and the unwinding of quantitative easing.
A fact of life is that emotions can wreck the boat in trading! Could they also help keep the boat afloat? There are a variety of four-letter-words involved: FEAR, HOPE, RISK, RICH, POOR, EDGE, SELF, EXIT, PLAN, SIZE, TOOL, GOAL, TASK, GAME, LOSS, WINS, NEWS. Which ones are the critical ones for us? I find goal, wins, and size the most critical ones for me, with the others taking their place within these three. How could I have a goal if I was not thinking of creating wealth (RICH) by monitoring my RISK, and seeking a high probability trade through TASK on my list of action. Can I create a WIN without an EDGE, and appropriate TOOL for my GAME? What SIZE is the best for me? I want to prevent a LOSS by utilizing a PLAN, and observing an EXIT in the right place. I am not seeking to FEAR the market, or win with HOPE. Although I included the word NEWS in this group of four-letter-words, I wish that it was not what was driving the equities up or down in price!
What To Do Now? Past and Present Bull Markets
I like to compare equity markets to a swinging pendulum. When a force is exerted upon a pendulum, it begins to swing back and forth. Each continued swing becomes less and less significant until the pendulum finally comes to a resting point in the center. We have cycles in equity markets much like the swings of the pendulum. In late 2008-early 2009, the pendulum moved very far to the bearish side of things as the S&P fell precipitously. This, of course, had been followed by an equally impressive swing to the bullish side of things through present day. If we think of that center resting point as "fair value" in the markets, the real question is just how far from the center we are in our current values. Some argue that we are at the resting point of fair value, and there is room to swing this pendulum further to the bullish side before this run is over. Others contend that we have moved significantly from fair value and are overvalued at this time looking for the pendulum to swing back to the midpoint through a price correction of some size. Underneath this swinging market pendulum is true economic growth that should correlate strongly with the degree of momentum and swings. History may give us a clue as to just where this pendulum is at present time.
Three Buckets of Sanity
One of the central tenets of the Options Animal methodology is that each trader must trade his or her personality. Some people are more aggressive, some conservative. Some are more patient, and some people thrive on the thrill of immediate results. Then, there are some, like me, who seem to have multiple trading personalities. A trader who tries to fight his or her inner nature will likely fail. Sometimes that means sacrificing possible returns in order to have the comfort level to trade without fear. I would like to share how I have adapted a time worn methodology of portfolio management to help me accommodate my own unique psychological needs.

It's Official: Jane Lynch to Host 2011 Emmys
The 'Glee' star, who won an Emmy in 2010 for her role as sardonic cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, will preside over the live show airing Sun., Sept. 18 on Fox.
"I am tickled pink to be hosting the Primetime Emmys on Fox," Lynch said in a statement. "I'm looking forward to singing, dancing and sporting my finest tracksuit."
It's safe to say there will be at least one Sue Sylvester skit before the night is over.
"Jane was my first -- and only -- choice as the host for this year's Primetime Emmys, and I am glad she said 'yes,'" Mark Burnett, executive producer of the telecast, said in a statement. "She has incredible comedic timing, and is a charismatic, talented actress whose energy leaps off the screen and stage. I am thrilled and excited to have her as our host."
Putting a network star as host has been a trend for the last few years. Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony last year when it aired on NBC, and in 2009 Neil Patrick Harris hosted the Emmys on CBS.
The 2011 Emmy nominations will be announced on July 14.

This woman is awesome and hilarious. And she has certainly worked long and hard to get where she is. That said, let's not turn this opportunity into a "hey it's great being a lesbian" thing. Hopefully, she will do her thing, be entertaining and have the good taste to not turn this into one more opportunity for socio-political statement.
BRADY said -- "Get a life Jakebudii. Gay is the new thing. go with it"
Glad Brady that you are gay. More power to ya. Stop ramming it down people's throats. The Emmy's are RUINED now. To whoever is in charge, thanks for ruinning it for those of us who nornally enjoy that show. NO way I'll watch. She's sickening!
Difference being -- not only is Ellen NOT sickening, she doesn't cram it fown people's throats and Ellen is actually funny. You can count on the Emmy's being full of "I am a lesbian yay" crap. I won't subject my children to it. Shame on that network! Time to start a protest....
yeah KT sure.. FYI not everyone has to like homosexuality, nor does everyone have to agree with it.. It does NOT make them hiding anything. Now YOU may be, but doesn't mean anyone else is. Jane Lynch is obnoxious and rubs it in people's faces every chance she gets. THAT is WRONG!

"Must-have from Asimov"
Original plot that outlines the series about future of the humanity before empire and foundation era. Excellent prequel to the Foundations.
Its a quite simple crime investigation, however, the background of overcrowded cities and inevitable phobias creates an excellent mix.

"Very nice second story in a line"
phobias, phobias, murder :-)
Its very well written episode from a robots series, however, I find the Caves of steel a bit better. Maybe because it was a first book of that kind.

A highly-compact audio-visual slide projection system which makes use of an array of co-planar rear-view screen sections forming a screen matrix for presenting images selectively derived from an adjacent array of individual slide projectors. Interposed between each screen section and its correspondingly-positioned projector on the same level therewith is a V-shaped reflector assembly whose inclined front leg faces the screen section and whose reversely-inclined rear leg faces the corresponding projector. The image from the corresponding projector is forwardly directed onto an underside mirror on the rear leg of the same-level reflector assembly, which reflects the image downwardly onto an upperside mirror on the rear leg of the reflector assembly on the level below, which upperside mirror directs the image forwardly toward an upperside mirror on the front leg of the level-below assembly, this mirror, in turn, reflecting the image upwardly onto an underside mirror on the front leg of the same-level assembly, from which the image is cast onto the associated screen section, whereby an extended optical path is provided within a relatively confined space, making possible narrow angle, high-quality projection.
1. A multiple slide projection system comprising:
A. a vertical array of individual slide projectors, each including a projection lens having a horizontal optical axis, a supply of slides and an indexing mechanism to transfer slides successively from the supply to an optical path leading to the projection lens for projection of slide images along said axis;
B. a vertical array of co-planar rear view screen sections to form a mosaic screen matrix adjacent the array of projectors, each section of the matrix lying in the vertical plane and being associated with a corresponding projector on the same level to present the slide image projected by said corresponding projector;
C. an upright V-shaped reflector assembly interposed between each screen section and its corresponding projector on the same array level, said each same-level assembly having an inclined front leg which faces the screen section and a reversely-inclined rear leg which faces the projection lens of the corresponding projector, each said front and rear leg of each assembly having mirrors on the upperside and the underside thereof, each said assembly being positioned in the optical axis of each projector and screen section so that the underside mirror on the rear leg receives an image from the lens and directs it downwardly onto the upperside mirror on the rear leg of the V-shaped reflector assembly on the level below, which mirror directs the image forwardly toward the upperside mirror on the front leg of the level-below assembly, which mirror directs the image upwardly onto the underside mirror on the front leg of the same-level assembly, which mirror in turn projects the image onto the assoicated screen section, whereby the opitical path between each lens and each screen section is substantially longer than the straight line distance therebetween.
2. A system as set forth in claim 1, further including programming means operatively coupled to the indexing mechanisms of the projectors to effect the selective presentation of slide images on the sections of the screen mosaic.
3. A system as set forth in claim 2, wherein said entire system is housed in a common cabinet whose front panel is defined by said mosaic.
4. A system as set forth in claim 3, wherein said cabinet is partitioned into cells to accommodate said projectors.
5. A system as set forth in claim 4, further including a tape play-back machine whose operation is coordinated by said programmer with the projectors to provide sounds to accompany the screen presentation.
6. A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said lens is a narrow-angle lens.
7. A system as set forth in claim 3, wherein the width of said cabinet is less than 34 inches, whereby the cabinet may be passed through a doorway.
8. A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said slide supply is held in a circular tray, making it possible to continuously recycle the presentation.
9. A system as set forth in claim 2, wherein said programmer means includes a multi-channel punched tape, one for each projector.
This invention relates generally to rear-screen film-slide projection arrangements, and more particularly to a mobile, audio-visual system which includes a multiscreen matrix on which there are displayed images selectively derived from an array of programmed slide projectors.
In order to present film slides in a continuous sequence, existing slide projectors employ slide trays in conjunction with an indexing mechanism adapted to transfer the slides successively into an optical path for projection. Thus in slide projectors manufactured by Eastman Kodak Company under the trademark "Carousel" and "Ektagraphic," the slide tray is in the form of a turntable that is indexed to successively project slides withdrawn from the circular array thereof. A description of a Kodak Ektagraphic Slide Projector Model AF may be found in the Eastman Kodak publication of January 1969, RPP-AX pub. pt. no. 634402.
In a conventional front-view projector, the picture is cast onto the front of a screen erected at a suitable distance from the projector. This arrangement is generally acceptable in a home where the room may be darkened and the screen may be conveniently placed therein. However, the viewability of an illuminated visual image is determined in large measure by contrast with its background. In front-view projection, the screen brightness is directly affected by ambient lighting conditions, and in a brightly-lit room it is virtually impossible to see the image.
To overcome the drawbacks of front-view screen projection, rear-screen projectors have been developed which make viewing feasible under relatively bright ambient conditions. Thus the prior Schwartz Pat. No. 3,560,088 discloses a projection theater in which images from a slide projector are directed onto an inclined mirror which reflects the images upwardly toward a second inclined mirror, the second mirror, in turn, casting the images onto the rear of a translucent screen.
It is also known to provide an audio-visual system making use of an array of rear-view screen slide projector theatre units which are joined together so that the screens form the sections of a large matrix. Thus the Multi-Visual Synthesizer developed by Motiva, Ltd. and described in the June 1972 issue of "Exhibit" magazine makes use of an assembly of rear-view slide projection units, each housing a standard Eastman Kodak slide projector. The slide projectors in the array are selectively and individually controlled by a punched-tape programmer in tandem with high-fidelity amplifiers and continuous loop cartridge tape-playback machines.
The system disclosed in "Exhibit" is formed by a multi-section screen matrix of fifteen slide projectors controlled by the respective channels of the punched tape programmer. Each channel acts to activate the associated projector in accordance with the program therefor defined by a track of punch holes. For example, if on a given transverse line on the multi-channel tape, there is a punch hole in each of the fifteen channels, then when this line reaches the read-out device, all fifteen projectors are simultaneously actuated. But if at this line there is a punch hole, say only for the third, fifth and ninth projectors, then only these projectors are actuated when the line is reached.
Thus at a given time, the screen matrix may have a different image displayed in each section thereof, or only selected sections may be activated to create a pattern of images, the other sections then being blank. At other times in the course of a program, all sections of the matrix may be activated to display a single, highly-enlarged sectioned image, each projector supplying a respective section of the total image. With multiple slide-projector units and a programmer having a distinct channel to choreograph the effects produced by the units as well as a channel to coordinate therewith the accompanying stereophonic sound, it becomes possible to create audio-visual effects in which image sequencing, patterning and counterpoint are correlated with sound or background music.
Because of the rear-projection arrangement, a Motiva Multivisual Synthesizer is usable under high ambient-lighting conditions, such as in shopping center malls, building lobbies and exhibit areas. And because the system is capable of continuous and unattended operation, it is particularly suitable for situations where people enter and leave at random intervals, such as in museums and side shows.
Though an audio-visual system of the known type is useful in many aspects of communication, including sales promotion, education and entertainment, it suffers from one serious practical drawback. This drawback resides not in the cost of purchasing or leasing the system, which is modest, but in the expenses involved in installation. A system of the type heretofore known lacks mobility and cannot be wheeled into a truck for transportation. Nor can the system be passed through a typical doorway (about 34 inches wide).
Hence it was heretofore the practice to ship the required number of slide projection theatre units to the site where they were assembled to create the desired matrix, and to set up at the site and wire-in the necessary programmer, audio amplifier, speakers and tape play-back machine. This installation procedure was time-consuming and costly, and therefore discouraging to many potential users of the audiovisual slide projection system.
In view of the foregoing, the main object of this invention is to provide a highly-compact, fully-integrated audio-visual slide projection system wherein images selectively derived from an array of individual slide projectors are presented on related sections of a rear-view screen matrix.
More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide an audio-visual system of the above-type which is housed in a mobile structure that also contains a punched-tape programmer operating in conjunction with a tape-playback machine.
A salient feature of the invention is that the overall dimensions of the structure which incorporates the entire audio-visual system are such as to make it possible, without difficulty, to pass the structure through doorways of standard size, so that the system may be wheeled to any desired site, such as an office, classroom, meeting hall of theatre stage, and immediately rendered operative.
Also an object of this invention is to provide a system of the above-type in which the optical path between each projector and its associated rear-view screen section is relatively long, despite the fact that the straight line distance between the projector and the screen section is short, so that the compactness and mobility of the structure is attained without sacrificing optical quality.
Briefly stated, these objects are accomplished in a system that includes an array of rear-view co-planar screen sections forming a screen matrix for presenting images selectively derived from an adjacent array of individual slide projectors, each projector having a supply of slides and an indexing mechanism adapted to transfer slides from the supply successively into an optical path for projection, the indexing mechanisms of the projectors being controlled by a programmer.
Interposed between each screen section of the screen matrix and its correspondingly-positioned projector on the same level therewith is a V-shaped reflector assembly whose inclined front leg faces the screen section and whose reversely-inclined rear leg faces the corresponding projector.
The image from the corresponding projector is forwardly directed onto an underside mirror on the rear leg of the reflector-assembly on the same level therewith, which underside mirror directs the image downwardly onto an upperside mirror on the rear leg of the assembly on the level therebelow, which upperside mirror forwardly directs the image onto an upperside mirror on the front leg of the level-below assembly. This upperside mirror on the level-below assembly, in turn, directs the image upwardly onto an underside mirror on the front leg of the same-level assembly, from which the image is cast onto the associated screen section, whereby an extended optical path is provided between the projector and the screen section despite the short, straight line distance therebetween.
For a better understanding of the invention as well as other objects and further features thereof, reference is made to the following detailed description to be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a mobile structure which incorporates an audio-visual slide projection system in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 2 is an end view of the structure;
FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of the structure;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view of the structure, partly cut away to expose the interior thereof;
FIG. 5 is a transverse section taken in the plane indicated by line 5--5 in FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of one of the slide projection units; and
FIG. 7 is a plan view of the projection unit shown in FIG. 6.
Referring now to FIGS. 1 to 4, there is shown a mobile, audio-visual multiple slide projection system in accordance with the invention, the entire system being contained in a rectangular housing or cabinet 10 mounted on a pair of hollow pedestals 11 and 12. The pedestals are provided with casters 13 and 14, making it possible to wheel the system to any desired site along narrow passages and through standard doorways.
The normal width of a doorway is about 34 inches, whereas the width of the housing is somewhat less than this value. The total height of the housing and pedestals is well below the usual height of a doorway, so that no difficulty is experienced in rolling the system into a schoolroom an office or any other site to which access is had through doors of ordinary size.
The audio-visual system is completely self-contained and, in the example illustrated, is constituted by nine conventional slide projections SP1 to SP9, which are seated within a honeycomb of nine cells C1 to C9, formed by partitions within the rear portion of the housing. As shown in FIG. 3, three additional cells C10 to C12 serve respectively to accommodate a programmer 15, a high-fidelity amplifier 16 and a magnetic-tape cartridge player 17.
Programmer 15 is of the punched-tape type described in greater detail in the above-identified "Exhibit" article, the multi-channel punched tape 18 being in a continuous loop form. The hollow pedestal 12, which lies below the read-out head of the programmer, serves as a storage space for the punched tape 18, as shown in FIG. 5. Hollow pedestal 11 contains a reel 19, as shown in FIG. 3, on which is retractably wound the power cable for the system, the cable terminating in a male plug 20 on the exterior of the pedestal. Hence to plug in the system, one merely has to pull out the cable by means of plug 20 and insert the plug in an available power line socket. When not in use, the cable is wound on the reel.
Tape deck 17 provides the sound or musical effects which accompany the slide presentation, the deck being coupled to amplifier 16 whose output is fed to a pair of sterophonic speakers 21 and 22. The present invention is not concerned with the structure or function of the programmer or of the tape deck, for the audio-visual system disclosed herein behaves in essentially the same manner as the system disclosed in the "Exhibit" article.
The invention making it possible to house the entire system in a highly-compact cabinet, resides in a unique optical arrangement interposed between the array of individual slide projectors SP1 to SP9 and the array of coplanar rear-view screen sections S1 to S2, which together form a screen mosaic onto which the images from the correspondingly-numbered projectors are presented under the control of the programmer.
The array of screen sections is closely adjacent to the array of slide projectors in order to provide a structure whose depth or width is suitable for passage through doorways. In practice, the array of screen sections may be supported within a honey-comb frame which is removable from the cabinet for cleaning or to further reduce the depth of the structure to facilitate passage through very narrow spaces.
Consequently, the straight line distance D between each screen section and its correponding projector is quite short. This short distance does not preclude the direct casting of images from the lens (L1 to L9) of each projector onto the associated screen section, but in order to do so, it would be necessary to use a lens having an exceptionally wide angle.
Since the illumination of a screen section varies in brightness as the square of the distance, the horizontal axis of projection will have a length equal to distance D whereas the inclined optical lines between the edges of the screen and lens will be substantially longer because of the wide angle. As a result, the illumination will be bright in the center of the screen and become progressively dimmer as one moves toward the edges.
Not only is such graduated screen illumination commercially unacceptable, but there is the further problem of optical distortion that is often encountered with a wide angle lens of ordinary quality. Hence, while it is theoretically possible to have a short optical path between a slide projector and the rear-view screen associated therewith, it is not practical to do so.
The significant feature of the present invention lies in the inclusion of reflector assemblies between the projectors and the screen sections which function to effectively lengthen the optical path therebetween, thereby making it possible to use narrow angle lens projection and to gain the advantages incident to such projection. With narrow angle lens projection, the screen illumination is substantially uniform and virtually free of optical distortion, assuming that the projection lens is of reasonably good quality.
Thus as shown in FIG. 5, interposed between each projector and its associated screen is a V-shaped reflector assembly generally designated by the letter V, the assembly having an inclined front leg Vf and a reversely-inclined rear leg Vr. The front leg faces the related screen section and the near leg faces the lens of the corresponding slide projector.
The legs of the reflector assemblies are provided with underside and upperside mirrors in an optical arrangement which we will now explain in connection with projector SP1 in FIG. 5. This projector is on the same array level as its corresponding screen section S1. The slide image projected forwardly by lens L1 of projector SP1 is directed forwardly onto an inclined underside mirror M1 on the rear leg of assembly V on the same level as projector SP1. Mirror M1 directs this image downwardly onto a parallel upperside mirror M2 on the rear leg Vr of the assembly V on the level below.
Mirror M2 then directs the image forwardly onto an upperside mirror M3 on the front leg of the level-below assembly V, which mirror directs the image upwardly onto a parallel underside mirror M4 on the front leg of the same-level assembly. Mirror M4 then casts the image forwardly onto screen section S1, where it is presented to the viewer.
Thus the resultant square-wave optical path between lens L1 and screen section S1 formed by mirror M1 and M4 of the same level assembly and mirrors M2 and M3 of the below-level assembly is considerably longer than the straight line path between these two points, so that it becomes possible to use narrow-angle projection with its attendant advantages.
Similarly, lens L4 of projector SP4 (FIG. 5) cooperates with its own same-level assembly V and with the assembly therebelow to provide narrow-angle projection onto screen section S4. It is to be noted that the lowermost reflector assembly V acts only as a below-level assembly, for it is not associated with a projector on the same level, and that the uppermost reflector V assembly acts only as a same-level assembly, for it is not associated with a projector on the level above.
It will be appreciated that while the array of projectors has three vertical levels, a greater number of levels may be used, and that while the array has three projector columns, a greater number of columns may be employed to increase the number of sections forming the screen mosaic, and thereby enlarge the visual display permutations.
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, each of the slide projectors, such as projector SP1, is so mounted on the baseboard 23 of its cell (C1) so that it may be precisely oriented to occupy the proper optical position with respect to its associated reflector assembly. But in practice, instead of a cellular arrangement, the projectors may be attached at their corners and stacked one above the other on vertically-extending pipes, the attachment between the pipes and the projectors being effected by settable universal coupling elements, making it possible to properly orient the projectors.
In an actual embodiment of the invention, the height of the structure is 66 inches, whereas the width of the structure is 333/8 inches. With the matrix screen panel removed, the width is then 293/8 inches. Because of these dimensions, the structure can be wheeled through standard doorways and it can also be moved through standard passenger elevators and through the doors of conventional trucks. Thus there are no practical restrictions on the movement of the structure which may therefore be placed in any suitable site.
While the programmer disclosed herein is of the punched-tape type, in practice one may use non-mechanical programmers of the solid-state type in which the program for actuating the slide projectors is stored in integrated circuit chips.
While there has been shown and described embodiment of an audio-visual slide projection system in accordance with the invention, it will be appreciated that many changes and modifications may be made therein without, however, departing from the essential spirit thereof.
