Provision of a communication apparatus and a TV conference apparatus able to take a picture of a speaker automatically and correctly. Methods involve capturing focal plane array imaging sensor data using a focal plane array imaging sensor such as an infrared camera or a visible camera, or acquiring imaging sensor data from an electronic data storage source, and involve capturing dynamic sensor data, such as vibration or ultrasonic data using a dynamic sensor such as an accelerometer or ultrasound system. The BPLPs of the present invention can serve as both implant materials and bioimaging probes. One or more second binding members are hingedly connected to the storage device cover and preferably operate independently of the front and rear panels of the cover to engage the first binding members. The mechanism can be implemented into various valve configurations which are commonly found in the directional control valve industry, including but not limited to those configurations which are adapted to contain a pneumatic fluid-recycling delay function.
