| 20080266448 | Wearable personal video/audio device method and system - A video and audio capture and transmission system is described in which a “see-what-I-see” or “CWIC” view is possible. A camera and audio sampling circuitry are provided in an earpiece designed to be comfortably worn by a user. The earpiece may be tethered to a power and control unit, or may be wireless. Video and audio signals are transmitted to a receiver wirelessly, permitting a hands-free capture of video and audio signals. The signals are then transmitted to viewers, such as via management or control devices. Access to the overall CWIC system may be controlled both for content providers and for viewers. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090085454 | THERMAL MANGEMENT ARTICLE HAVING THERMAL WAVE GUIDE - An article includes a stack of display layers including a display layer having a high-shear modulus that is sandwiched between two display layers having a low-shear modulus. The display layers include a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use. The heat generated by the display layers may form localized heat-sources in the stack. The display layer with the high-shear modulus is a thermal transport layer through which the localized heat-sources-induced guided elastic waves propagate along an acoustic waveguide plane and can transport the heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device. Alternately, a display layer having a high refractive index may be sandwiched between two display layers having a low refractive index. The display layers with low shear modulus or low refractive index may be replaced with thermal transport layers having low shear modulus or low refractive index respectively. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090087639 | THERMAL MANAGEMENT ARTICLE AND METHOD - An article includes a display layer having an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface. The display layer includes a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use. A thermal transport layer may be secured to the display layer. The thermal transport layer may include a thermally conductive material that can transport heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090087640 | FLUIDIC THERMAL MANAGEMENT ARTICLE AND METHOD - An article includes a display layer having an outward facing surface and an inward facing surface. The display layer includes a light-emitting device that generates heat and light during use. A thermal transport layer may be secured to the display layer. The thermal transport layer may include a microfluidic layer including a coolant that can transport heat generated by the light-emitting device away from the light-emitting device. An article includes a display structure having a height, a width, and a thickness that define a volume. The display structure can include components that emit light to generate a three-dimensional image within the volume. The display structure includes a stack. The display structure also includes a thermal dissipation layer in contact with the sheet or stack that can transport generated heat from the sheet or stack to a heat absorbing structure. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100020229 | WEARABLE PERSONAL VIDEO/AUDIO DEVICE METHOD AND SYSTEM - A system for capture and transmission of video and audio data includes multiple input devices, each designed to be worn by a user. The input devices capture video and audio signals corresponding to views available at the location of each user and transmit the information to a remote system. The remote system uses the video and audio signals to create enhanced views. These enhanced views may be transmitted to other input devices. | 01-28-2010 |
