20080225005HAND-HELD MICRO-PROJECTOR PERSONAL COMPUTER AND RELATED COMPONENTS - A mobile personal computer comprising a case sized for handling by a single, adult human hand, a micro-projector system maintained by the case, and a speech recognition system maintained by the case and including a microphone. A microprocessor is maintained within the case and electronically connected to the micro-projector system and the speech recognition system. The microprocessor utilizes a personal computer operating system to perform computing operations. A power source is maintained within the case. Finally, a linear touch pad array adapted to operate as a user interface is assembled to the case such that at least a segment of the linear touch pad array is curved.09-18-2008
20090115599AUTOMATED AUDIO OPERATION SUPPORT DEVICE AND METHODS - A body-mounted electronic audio device playing prerecorded audio statements automatically issued as directed by wirelessly connected stationary computer decision-making using input from wearers and devices within the workplace environment to support to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness especially those in fast food stores.05-07-2009
20090257031MULTIPLE PROJECTOR IMAGE OVERLAY SYSTEMS - A display system for providing enhanced brightness projected images from a micro-projector. The system includes at least two micro-projector display devices, one or more sensors, and a controller. The sensors provide information to the controller indicative of the micro-projector display devices having been placed in proximity to each other to project identical images, the controller further being programmed to determine from information generated by the sensors their alignment and maximize cooperative pixel alignment between multiple images generated by the micro-projector display devices by offsetting a center of an image in one or more of the projector devices.10-15-2009
20090290743SKIN-MOUNTED DIGITAL DEVICE WITH STACKED FLEX CIRCUIT - A skin-mounted digital audio device composed of one or more removable adhesive sheets, a battery layer, and flex circuitry. The device can be folded and unfolded, and permits convenient, hands-free wearing and operation by a user via the adhesive sheet(s).11-26-2009
20090302730LED-BASED LIGHT BULB DEVICE - An LED light bulb device including a bulb body, a cap and an LED assembly. The bulb body defines an exterior surface and an interior. The cap is mounted to the bulb body, combining to define a light bulb-like structure. The LED assembly includes a substrate, LEDs, transformer circuitry and connective circuitry. The LEDs and the connective circuitry are maintained by the substrate, with the connective circuitry electrically connecting the LEDs and the transformer circuitry. The transformer circuitry is adapted to modify incoming power for powering the LEDs. The LED assembly is mounted to the light bulb-like structure such that the LEDs are disposed along the exterior surface of the bulb body, with light from the LEDs being directed inwardly into the interior and then outwardly from the interior. The LED assembly can further include a heat sink body encompassing the LEDs.12-10-2009
20090318198MOBILE PERSONAL AUDIO DEVICE - A mobile personal audio device including a case maintaining a power source, first and second speakers, a microcontroller, and first and second stem assemblies. The stem assemblies extend from opposite sides of the case, respectively, and each include a tube having a first end adjacent and open to a corresponding one of the speakers and terminating at a second end. The stem assemblies are configured such that the tube is positionable in a user-selected extended state in which the second end of the tube is displaced from the case, and a collapsed state in which the second end is in close proximity to the case. In the extended state, the case is locatable at the back of the user's neck, with the tubes extending along opposite sides of the user's head. The microcontroller operates the speakers to generate audio sounds waves that are delivered to the user's ears.12-24-2009
20100180190MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND SYSTEM WITH LIMITED DATA TRANSFER - A portable user interface device for performing wireless communications. The device includes a case, a display screen, a speaker, a microphone, a sensor, and a computer. The computer is disposed behind the display screen to define a display side, and the sensor is located adjacent the display side. The computer is programmed to control operation of the display screen and to operate a wireless form-filling module, a wireless data transfer module, and an application module. The form-filling module is of a type adapted to promote source data-type interface with a client server servicing the user interface device and limited data transfer capacity. The data transfer module includes a wireless transceiver and is adapted to communicate with a data transfer service on a non-priority, limited size basis. The application module performs a designated operation via the form-filling module and the data transfer module, displaying indicia immediately adjacent the sensor.07-15-2010
20110103055LED-BASED LIGHT BULB DEVICE WITH KELVIN CORRECTIVE FEATURES - An LED light bulb device including a bulb body, a cap, an LED assembly, and first and second light affecting features. The cap is mounted to the bulb body for connection to an electrical socket. The LED assembly includes a plurality of LEDs and framework. The framework maintains the LEDs relative to the bulb body such that emitted light is directed at an LED region of the wall. The first light affecting feature is associated with the LED region of the wall, whereas the second light affecting feature is associated with a diffusion region of the wall, with the diffusion region being apart from the LED region. The first light affecting feature affects light in a manner different from that of the second light affecting feature. The light affecting features are selected to affect or alter light emitted from the LEDs to provide a desired Kelvin color temperature and diffusion.05-05-2011
