20080297537 | DEVICES AND METHODS FOR SYNCHRONIZED ILLUMINATION - Disclosed is a display of a particular size that may be perceived as larger than the particular size as a result of light emitted by one or more light guides adjacent the perimeter of the display. The display may also be perceived as brighter. In particular, the display is configured to output a changing image. A light guide is disposed adjacent at least a portion of the perimeter of the display and coupled to a multicolor LED. A controller of the electronic device is configured to analyze the changing image to determine the color content. The multicolor LED is driven to emit light according to the color content of the changing image. The light guide is configured to couple light from the LED in a direction parallel to the display viewing surface, and to couple light out of the light guide in a direction away from the display viewing surface. | 12-04-2008 |
20080310185 | ADDRESSABLE LIGHTING ELEMENT FOR A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - An apparatus that provides lighting for a user interface in a mobile communication device is disclosed. The apparatus may include a planar lightguide, at least one light source located adjacent to the planar lightguide, a plurality of optical structures having at least a first section of optical structures disposed on the surface of the planar lightguide and a second section of optical structures disposed on the surface of the planar lightguide separate from the first section of optical structures, wherein the first section of optical structures is configured to cause a first boundary behavior of light associated with the bending of light paths, and the second section of optical structures is configured to cause a second boundary behavior of light associated with the bending of light paths. | 12-18-2008 |

20130002991 | Electronic Device with Color-Changing Layer Over Optical Shuttering Layer - An electronic device includes a housing, an electronic display viewable from a front side of the electronic device, an optical shuttering layer substantially parallel to the front side, and a color changing layer positioned over at least a portion of the shuttering layer. A driver controls transitions of the shuttering layer between a transparent clear state and an opaque state and also transitions of the color changing layer between a transparent clear state and a colored state. Depending on driver control, the appearance of the electronic device can change from an opaque color (solid color or with graphic design elements), to a translucent color (solid color or with graphic design elements) possibly with an underlying electronic display somewhat visible, to a transparent color with an underlying electronic display clearly visible. | 01-03-2013 |
20140099252 | System and method for supplying hydrogen and deuterium to lenr and e-cat based energy generating systems - An approach for supplying hydrogen and/or deuterium to LENR and E-Cat based energy generating systems includes receiving a source material that is rich in hydrogen and/or deuterium. A gaseous form of at least one of those elements is extracted from the source material via electrochemical dissociation, hydrocarbon recovery, or a suitable mechanical process. The gaseous form of the element is preferably filtered to remove water vapor and other impurities before being pressurized and supplied to the energy generating system. Advantages of the approach include enhanced safety and system portability due to elimination of a need for pressurized gas storage tanks. | 04-10-2014 |

20140271760 | LIQUID MATERIAL SYSTEMS WITH MULTIFUNCTIONAL ORGANOMETALLIC ADDITIVES - Described are antimicrobial liquid products comprising one or more antimicrobial organometallic additives dispersed throughout an organic host liquid. | 09-18-2014 |
20140326645 | LIQUID PURIFICATION SYSTEM - A liquid purification system is provided. Although not limited to water, the purification system is especially suitable for water. The purification system utilizes a vessel having antimicrobial inner wall load bearing surfaces and/or antimicrobial (antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-mold, etc.) interior non-load bearing surfaces. When the liquid moves within the vessel and contacts the antimicrobial surfaces, the liquid becomes purified or sanitized. The inner wall load bearing surfaces and non-load bearing interior surfaces of the vessel may be manufactured from a host polymer that has antimicrobial organo-metallic additives which form a solid-solution with the host polymer and are distributed homogeneously throughout the host polymer. The host polymer matrix may be an organic material, an inorganic material or an organic-inorganic material blend. The antimicrobial agent polymer matrix may be located in localized zones within the vessel. | 11-06-2014 |
