Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110312344LOCATION-BASED MESSAGING SYSTEM - Apparatus for supporting a location-based application is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a plurality of mobile devices which report their locations to an application computer. The application computer then periodically or occasionally sends the mobile devices a message (textual, speech, photo or video etc.) which depends upon the reported location of the mobile device. A problem with known apparatus of this type arises when a plurality of users are partaking in the same location-based application together, but receive different messages because their positions are not identical. The location-based application supporting apparatus disclosed here overcomes this problem by first identifying mobile devices which are moving as a group, and then sending all members of that group the same location-based message. The solution is of particular utility in relation to located information, advertising, or reviews for shops, restaurants etc., located games, located educational experiences and location tourism.12-22-2011

20080217465Piezoelectric fiber, active damped, composite electronic housings - A vibration controlled housing. The novel housing includes a housing structure and a mechanism for receiving a control signal and in accordance therewith electronically tuning a structural response of the structure. In an illustrative embodiment, the housing structure includes a composite material containing a plurality of piezoelectric fibers adapted to generate an electrical signal in response to a deformation in the structure and to deform the structure in response to an electrical signal applied thereto. A control circuit receives the sensed signal from the fibers and generates an excitation signal that is applied to the fibers to increase the stiffness or compliance of the fibers at predetermined frequencies. In an illustrative embodiment, the control signal is adapted to provide low frequency stiffness and strength performance while attenuating high frequency vibrations to protect electronics housed within the structure.09-11-2008

20110002376Latency Minimization Via Pipelining of Processing Blocks - Novel tools and techniques for minimizing the latency of video processing blocks via pipelining. Video calling is a latency sensitive application. When the latency between capture at the video source and display at the video sink is too large, the call does not appear interactive. Transmission of video over a network exacerbates the problem. It is highly desirable to minimize the capture/encode/transmit latency at the video source and the receive/decode/display latency at the video sink. Certain tools disclosed herein minimize these latencies via pipelining of processing blocks. For example, in some tools, each block begins processing before the previous block has finished its processing.01-06-2011
