20080246748Laminated and tilled displays and methods of manufacturing the same - A display having a front plane, a back plane and a border edge. The display includes a color changing cell located behind the front plane of the device and a first and second electrically conducting attachment layer. The color changing cell includes an active color layer having at least one active color area. The active color layer is associated with a first electrically conducting layer which overlaps at least one active color area. The color changing cell also includes a counter layer associated with a second electrically conducting layer. A first electrically conducting attachment layer extends from the active color area and overlaps the first electrically conducting layer. A second electrically conducting attachment layer extends from the counter layer and overlaps the second electrically conducting layer. The display may be coupled to an electronic circuit for use in a variety of applications. The display may also be used to form a device having a plurality of displays.10-09-2008
20100220378SELF-POWERING DISPLAY FOR LABELS AND CARDS - A device is disclosed that combines a battery system with an electrochromic system by judicious selection of electrodes and the connection of the appropriate electrodes to generate internal as well as external current flows. This system allows the elimination of a battery component reducing cost and improving manufacturing yield by reduction of the number of parts and number of interconnections. However, the design can be further extended to the combination of a battery system with a sensing system.09-02-2010
20110050756USE OF DISPLAYS IN LOW-POWER AND LOW-COST ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS - The application describes a device using a display and a method to control the display device in a low power consumption manner. The device may be geared towards disposable use and manufactured using printed electronics techniques. A simple controller system may adapt the state of the device based on type and status of power source(s), or with respect to application specific requirements within the life-cycle of the device.03-03-2011

20090233577METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING THE MOST COST-EFFICIENT PAYMENT PROVIDER TO PAY FOR COMMUNICATION SERVICES - A method and apparatus for selecting the most cost-efficient payment provider to pay for communication services are disclosed. A calling electronic device communicates alternative payment provider data to a network via a communications link. The network examines costs charged by a plurality of alternative payment providers indicated by the alternative payment provider data. The network determines and contacts the most cost-efficient payment provider to determine if the contacted payment provider will accept responsibility for paying for at least a portion of the communication services.09-17-2009
20100318796METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS - A method for transmitting an encrypted signal to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) such that decryption of the encrypted signal depends on a trust zone associated with the WTRU is disclosed. The encryption may be performed using hierarchical modulation, scrambling, authentication, location validation, or a combination thereof. The size of a trust zone may also be adjusted.12-16-2010
