Model of c. 1953
And, importantly, off-the-shelf imaging technology — notably including the cameras in our phones — is now capable of accurately capturing this distinctive surface-level detail. The result is a new possibility for identifying parts, arguably better and more reliable than serial numbers. The camera is based on a IIIA body, the film gate, counter, viewfinder and wind mechanism having been modified. Flash synchronization from the IIIF was also added. It is engraved 18x24 on the top of the rangefinder cover just above the serial number. This camera was produced in extremely small quantities.

Lipinski, p. 135. Describes the Robot shutter.Roomba® i7 and Roomba® s9 Robot Vacuums use an advanced navigation technology that incorporates Imprint™ Smart Maps. This means that these robots clean, learn, and adapt to your environment. They utilize a camera to identify landmarks and create a map that can be referenced for future cleaning jobs.

Imprint™ Smart Maps can be customized to indicate specific rooms in your home, and robots that utilize Imprint™ Smart Map technology will map the location of the Home Base® or Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal Unit.

These robots clean in a systematic pattern and determine the most efficient way to clean based on the layout of the cleaning area in the Imprint™ Smart Map. These robots also 'Recharge and Resume' during cleaning, meaning that when the battery gets low, the robot will return to the Home Base® to recharge its battery for 85-90 minutes then return to where it left off to resume the cleaning job. Since i7 and s9 use Imprint™ Smart Mapping technology and know the exact location of the Home Base®/Clean Base™, they can return when the battery is low, or the cleaning job is complete.
