20080246837AUTOSTEREOSCOPIC LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS - A display apparatus includes an autosteroscopic liquid crystal display panel having a frame response time of less than 10 milliseconds, and a backlight positioned to provide light to the autosteroscopic liquid crystal display. The backlight includes a right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source capable of being modulated between the right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source at a rate of at least 90 Hertz.10-09-2008
20080284801STEREOSCOPIC 3D LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY APPARATUS WITH BLACK DATA INSERTION - A display apparatus includes an liquid crystal display panel having a frame response time of less than 5 milliseconds, drive electronics configured to drive the liquid crystal display panel to black between images that are provided to the liquid crystal display panel at a rate of at least 90 images per second, and a backlight positioned to provide light to the liquid crystal display panel. The backlight includes a right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source capable of being modulated between the right eye solid state light source and a left eye solid state light source at a rate of at least 90 Hertz.11-20-2008
20090009317APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA COLLECTED VIA WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS - An apparatus for processing data collected via a wireless network sensor includes modules for receiving and processing the data. The wireless network sensor includes a plurality of sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The apparatus also includes modules for parsing events, episodes, vectors, links, and paths based upon the received data. The paths can be used to generate a representation of traffic patterns in a space monitored by wireless network sensors.01-08-2009
20090009323DISPLAY OF INFORMATION RELATED TO DATA COLLECTED VIA WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS - A method for displaying an indication of data collected via a wireless network sensor involves processing the collected data to generate reports. The wireless network sensor includes a plurality of sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The method displays an indication of parsed events, episodes, vectors, links, and paths based upon the received data. Another method displays a representation of a location of each sensor in the wireless network sensors in a monitored environment and information related to data collected via the sensors.01-08-2009
20090009339APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOCALLY PROCESSING DATA ON WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS - A wireless network sensor includes several sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors. It also includes a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The processor is programmed to determine if an event occurred related to a particular change in a signal level of a signal received from one of the sensors and compress the event data. The compressed data can then be wirelessly sent to a computer for additional processing such as providing an indication of traffic patterns in an area monitored by the wireless network sensor.01-08-2009
20090009340METHODS FOR PROVIDING SERVICES AND INFORMATION BASED UPON DATA COLLECTED VIA WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS - A method for processing data collected via a wireless network sensor includes providing information in a variety of ways based upon the processed data. The network sensor has a plurality of sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors in a monitored space, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The received data is processed to determine pedestrian traffic patterns in the monitored space, which can be used to design a layout and placement of goods for sale in the monitored space. The information for the pedestrian traffic patterns can also be provided in exchange for a fee to customers requesting it.01-08-2009
20090196206WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS FOR DETECTING EVENTS OCCURRING PROXIMATE THE SENSORS - A detection sensor for detecting proximately occurring events such as traffic patterns. The detection sensor includes a housing having several apertures and a wireless network sensor located in the housing. The wireless network sensor has several sensors for detecting events occurring proximate them, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. Each of the sensors is contained within one of the apertures, and the apertures have shapes configured to provide for varying types of coverage areas for each of the sensors.08-06-2009
20110035271APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA COLLECTED VIA WIRELESS NETWORK SENSORS - An apparatus for processing data collected via a wireless network sensor includes modules for receiving and processing the data. The wireless network sensor includes a plurality of sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors, a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors, and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The apparatus also includes modules for parsing events, episodes, vectors, links, and paths based upon the received data. The paths can be used to generate a representation of traffic patterns in a space monitored by wireless network sensors.02-10-2011
20110108858STABLE LIGHT SOURCE - Light emitting systems are disclosed. The light emitting system emits an output light that has a first color. The light emitting system includes a first electroluminescent device that emits light at a first wavelength in response to a first signal. The first wavelength is substantially independent of the first signal. The intensity of the emitted first wavelength light is substantially proportional to the first signal. The light emitting system further includes a first luminescent element that includes a second electroluminescent device and a first light converting layer. The second electroluminescent device emits light at a second wavelength in response to a second signal. The first light converting layer includes a semiconductor potential well and converts at least a portion of light at the second wavelength to light at a third wavelength that is longer than the second wavelength. The light emitting system combines light at the first wavelength with light at the third wavelength to form the output light at the first color. When one of the first and second signals changes from about 50% of a maximum rating of the signal to about 100% of the maximum rating, but the ratio of the first signal to the second signal remains substantially unchanged, the first color of the output light remains substantially unchanged.05-12-2011
