| 20120059647 | Touchless Texting Exercise - A method, system, and computer program product are provided for touchless texting that enhances user activity. A plurality of graphical images are displayed on a computer display. An exercise motion is detected using a camera, and the motion is resolved to a selected graphical image from the plurality of graphical images. The selected graphical image is entered into an application. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20100253518 | Electronic Mail Box System - An electronic mailbox system features: a mailbox housing with an inner cavity and slot for holding mail, a lid, an electrically-operable lock system for the lid, a mail sensor for detecting the mail being inserted into the slot, a first transmitter, a first receiver and a mailbox microprocessor; and a control box with a second transmitter, a second receiver, a control box indicator light, an unlock button, a reset button, and a control box microprocessor. When the mail sensor detects mail delivery the control box indicator light becomes illuminated. When the unlock button is pushed the lock system unlocks. When the reset button is pressed the indicator light is deactivated. An alarm system may be activated upon receipt of mail and/or if a tamper sensor detects tampering. | 10-07-2010 |

| 20110014102 | MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR THE REMOVAL OF SULFUR COMPOUNDS FROM FEEDSTOCK - A composite material having utility for removing sulfur from a feedstock comprises a ceramic matrix having a relatively low melting point metal such as tin, zinc, lead or bismuth nanodispersed therein. The material may be prepared from a mixture of particles of a precursor of the ceramic matrix and precursor of the metal. The precursors are selected such that the melting point of the precursor of the ceramic is less than the melting point of the precursor of the metal. The mixture of precursor materials is heated to a temperature sufficient to melt the precursor of the ceramic material so as to coat it onto the precursor of the metal. The ceramic precursor is then reacted so as to convert it to a ceramic. Thereafter, the precursor of the metal is converted to a free metal which is retained within the ceramic matrix so as to prevent agglomeration. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110032266 | GLARE DETECTION AND MITIGATION METHOD FOR A PHOTO-SENSITIVE DISPLAY DEVICE - A display device having integral photo-sensors for touch sensing is used to detect and mitigate the effects of veiling glare that obscures information being conveyed by the display device. The photo-sensors are periodically sampled to identify optically saturated regions of the display device. If the saturated regions of the display device are being used to convey relevant information, one or more counter-measures are initiated to mitigate the effects of the glare. The counter-measures may include: increasing the display brightness at least in the identified glare region, tilting the display or its cover lens away from estimated direction of the glare source, re-sizing or re-formatting the displayed information, using an alternate display device to convey the information, and presenting the information with a different layer of a multi-layer display. | 02-10-2011 |

| 20090034801 | System and method of awareness detection - An awareness detection system and method are provided. The system includes an imaging device positioned to obtain a plurality of images of at least a portion of a subject's head, and an awareness processor in communication with the imaging device. The awareness processor receives an image from the imaging device and performs the steps including conducting a two-point head pose analysis when two eyes of the subject are located, conducting a one-point head pose analysis when only one eye of the subject is located, and conducting a zero-point head pose analysis when zero eyes of the subject are located. The awareness processor further performs the steps of detecting at least one point of interest in the image, conducting a motion analysis of the image to estimate a head pose of the subject, and determining a state of awareness of the subject. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090123031 | Awareness detection system and method - An awareness detection system and method that includes an imaging device positioned to obtain a plurality of images of at least a portion of a subject's head, and an awareness processor in communication with the imaging device, wherein the awareness processor receives the plurality of images from the imaging device. The awareness processor performs the steps including classifying at least one image of the plurality of images based upon at least a portion of the subject's head, monitoring movement of at least one eye of the subject if the at least one image is classified as a predetermined classification, and determining an awareness state of the subject based upon the monitored movement of the at least one eye. | 05-14-2009 |
