20100114375 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VOLUMETRIC DISPLAY USING A SPINING MIRROR AND AN ORTHOGONALLY DEFLECTED LINEAR PICTURE ELEMENT SOURCE - A system and method for creating a three-dimensional (“3D”) volumetric display using a linear array of active point light sources and projecting those points on a mirrored surface. The linear image is then modulated and swept along that mirrored surface to create a two-dimensional (“2D”) raster image. Simultaneously, the mirrored surface upon which the raster image is created is rotated along a axis that is orthogonal to the raster image. During the orthogonal rotation the 2D raster image is redrawn as separate frames in a timed and coordinated manner such that each pixel element (“pixel”) of the 2D image is displayed sequentially in 3D space as a volumetric pixel element (“voxel”). The integrating characteristics of human sight are then used to create the impression of a volumetric surface from the integration of the raster images. | 05-06-2010 |
20100172287 | TEMPORAL NETWORK SERVER CONNECTED DEVICES WITH OFF-LINE AD HOC UPDATE AND INTERACTION CAPABILITY - A system and method for using mobile network devices that are periodically connected to a network server are disclosed. The devices exchange data in an ad hoc manner when not connected to the server. In the preferred embodiment, independent mobile wireless network devices are connected to a network server through a client computing device acting as a gateway to the server. The presence of the mobile network device and the client computing device cause both devices to become users. The server pairs both the network device and the client computing device with a unique identity contained on the network device. Paired and independent identities that have presence on the server then interact with each other in such a manner that data on the connected mobile network devices is changed and stored in concordance with this community interaction. Unconnected mobile network devices search for other unconnected mobile network devices within range to form an ad hoc network. This allows the mobile network devices to exchange and store data related to their last community server interaction. This data is context specific in terms of the specific services used by the by the users that had presence on the community server. User interaction directly with mobile network devices can change this information locally even when not connected to a client computer. This information will also be exchanged and affect data stored on mobile devices that are part of an independent ad hoc network according to the context of the previous server data stored on the mobile devices. | 07-08-2010 |
20110082390 | COMPLIANT PRESSURE ACTUATED SURFACE SENSOR FOR ON BODY DETECTION - A system for detecting actuation pressure is provided, where actuation pressure is a pressure above a pre-defined limit on the surface of a body of a user. The system includes a multi-layered pad of flexible materials which remains in contact with the surface of the body while complying with the shape of the surface of the body. The system also includes a plurality of pressure detection zones. The plurality of pressure detection zones is located on the multi-layered pad to detect actuation pressure on the surface of the body. | 04-07-2011 |
20110291886 | METHOD FOR MARKING LOCATIONS OF ASSOCIATED PERIPHERAL DEVICES - A system and method for marking the location of a lost device using geographical location-sensing means is provided. The method involves time-stamping the moment of disconnection, recording the navigation from point of disconnection, fixing the geographical location, and then applying geographical displacement to GPS coordinates to fix the location of the lost or misplaced device. | 12-01-2011 |
20110292869 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING AND CONTROL POWER - An improved system for power monitoring and control is an aftermarket method for improving power monitoring and control in end-user environments such as offices and homes. The disclosed is a wirelessly connected panel that monitors and/or controls power passed through a power interface and is intrinsically paired with that interface. The system uses an ultra low power panel that is associated with its power interface. The system can be detached and located at a distant remote location. The radio link is used to maintain control automatically paired with the power interface connection it is physically associated with. The panel and system use a hopping meshed radio network to insure full range of coverage within a building. | 12-01-2011 |
20110292920 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING WI-FI ACCESS TO ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN A PERSONAL AREA NETWORK (PAN) - A system and method for providing Wi-Fi access to electronic devices is disclosed. A plurality of electronic devices in a PAN is provided. A Wi-FI compatible server is associated with each electronic device in the PAN. The Wi-Fi compatible server associated with each electronic device is capable of configuring a HTML data for the associated electronic device. The HTML data associated with each electronic device is then provided to a WLAN device for providing Wi-Fi access to each electronic device in the PAN. | 12-01-2011 |
20110293182 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RESOLVING SPATIAL ORIENTATION USING INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SELECTIVITY - The present invention provides a method and system for resolving complete free space orientation of an active receiving device at high speed using simple optics, trigonometry, simple circuitry, and using minimal processing power. The rapid triangulation of distance from the emitters, as well as resolution of rotational orientation, are determined by changing the contrast level in an infrared spectrum and by using wide angle lenses with greater than 180 degree hemispherical viewing angles. Furthermore, the system consists of an optional accelerometer, resident on the receiver, to dynamically adjust the image sensor frame rate. | 12-01-2011 |
20110295659 | SYSTEM OF DELIVERING ADVERTISEMENTS VIA WIRELESS NETWORK - A system for delivering advertisements is provided. The system comprises a server, an active device, and an inactive device. The server is configured to store an advertising message. The active device is coupled to the server and configured to receive the advertising message. The active device receives the advertising message from the server upon occurrence of an event. The inactive device is coupled to the server. The inactive device is substantially similar to the active device. | 12-01-2011 |
20110295691 | RADIO RECEIVER BASED GREETING CARD SYSTEM - A method and system for providing location-based advertising and location-based greeting through a radio receiver based greeting is disclosed. The system for providing location-based advertising comprises a greeting card having at least one surface, a radio receiver coupled to the surface, an information module coupled to the radio receiver, and a power source coupled to at least one of the radio receiver and the information module. | 12-01-2011 |
