| 20110298695 | OPTICAL COMPONENT CALIBRATION SYSTEM FOR LASER-BASED DISPLAY DEVICE - A laser-based display device includes a plurality of ultraviolet lasers configured to excite a phosphor-containing display screen in order to produce visible light. The laser-based display device also includes a reference laser used for calibration operations. A control system within the laser-based display device causes the reference laser beam to scan across one or more calibration features, and adjusts optical components of the laser-based display device, including activation timing of the ultraviolet lasers, based on feedback patterns generated by the calibration features, to compensate for drift effects. The calibration features may be disposed off-screen or on-screen. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110298765 | Power Calibration of Multiple Light Sources in a Display Screen - A display device with multiple light sources includes a first detector for detecting a brightness of one or more different portions of the image formed on the display device, a second detector that measures output intensities of the light sources, and a controller that records correlation values that correlate input power settings of the light sources with the detected brightness and the measured output intensities. During operation of the display device, the controller applies the correlation values to determine the proper input power settings of the light sources so that brightness uniformity among the multiple light sources can be achieved. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110298844 | Power Calibration of Multiple Light Sources in a Display Screen - A display device with multiple light sources includes a detector that dynamically measures output intensities of the light sources as the light sources are producing light to cause an image to be formed on a display screen. A controller for the display device compares the measured output intensities with desired output intensities determined from factory-calibrated correlation values and adjusts the inputs to the light sources to compensate for drift and other similar effects, so that brightness uniformity among the multiple light sources can be achieved. | 12-08-2011 |

| 20090083320 | Display method and system for collecting media preference information - An end user media preferences “key” captures an end user's personal media interests and tastes in a unique display format that is saved locally to an end user's computer. The key is forged using a display interface on a given site. As the end user later navigates to different web sites having media discovery applications and services, he or she uses the key to facilitate a media discovery process on such sites. In this manner, the key captures, carries and controls access to the end user's personal interests and tastes across multiple sites. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090083321 | Method for storing, transporting and using user media preferences information - An end user media preferences “key” captures an end user's personal media interests and tastes in a unique display format that is saved locally to an end user's computer. As the end user navigates to different web sites having media discovery applications and services, he or she uses the key to facilitate a media discovery process on such sites. In this manner, the key captures, carries and controls access to the end user's personal interests and tastes across multiple sites. On a given site, the key is used (by a local media discovery platform or process) to help match video, audio or other textual content with the end user based on the preference information that has been collected and embedded in the key. Upon receiving the key, the local media discovery platform or process immediately learns what the end user likes and can then locate the movies, video, news or other content that the end user would otherwise have to locate directly or via site-specific entry and processing of end user preference data. | 03-26-2009 |

| 20090197300 | MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE DOMAIN FOLDING MOLECULAR SWITCH AND METHOD OF SYNTHESIS THEREOF - The invention is a fusion protein, embodying a mutually exclusive folding domain molecular switch, wherein the free energy released by folding of a first domain of the fusion protein drives an unfolding of a second domain of the fusion protein, and vice versa. The fusion protein is engineered so that folding the first domain unfolds the second domain, and vice versa, making the folded and unfolded states of the domains mutually exclusive. This is accomplished by insertion of an insert protein GCN4 into a surface loop of a target, protein barnase, subject to die topological design, criterion that the N—C terminal length of GCN4 be at least two-times greater than the Cα-Cα length of a surface loop of barnase. In the absence of the ligand AP-1, barnase is more stable and is folded and active. The presence of AP-1 induces folding of GCN4, forcibly unfolding and inactivating barnase. | 08-06-2009 |
