20110141172 | SEPARATION OF DRIVE PULSES FOR FLUID EJECTOR - A method for causing fluid to be ejected from a fluid chamber of a jet in a printhead. An actuator is actuated with a first energy imparting pulse to push fluid away from the actuator and toward a nozzle. Following a lapse of a first interval, the actuator is actuated with second energy imparting pulse to push fluid away from the actuator and toward the nozzle. Following a lapse of a second interval as measured from the second energy imparting pulse, the actuator is actuated with a break-off pulse to cause fluid extending out of an orifice of the nozzle to break off from fluid within the nozzle, wherein the second lapse is longer than the first lapse and is an inverse of the meniscus-jet mass frequency. | 06-16-2011 |

20110148832 | TRANSFLECTIVE DISPLAY - A device includes a light source and a display that includes a number of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a red subpixel, a blue subpixel, a green subpixel and a reflective subpixel. The device also include control logic configured to activate the reflective subpixels in the display when the light source is turned off. | 06-23-2011 |
20120270598 | 3D Camera Phone - A 3D camera or camera phone capable of producing 3D or stereoscopic images includes a normal mode for creating 3D images of relatively far away objects and a macro mode for creating 3D images of relatively close objects. In one embodiment, the invention is a 3D camera system comprising first and second camera modules. The second camera module is movable relative to the first camera module between a first imaging position wherein the optical axes of the first and second camera modules are parallel and facing in the same direction, and a second imaging position wherein the optical axes of the first and second camera modules are converging. | 10-25-2012 |

20130076496 | UNIVERSAL ACCESSORY FOR VIEWING A SMARTPHONE DISPLAY IN AN AUTOMOBILE - The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for presenting visual information in an automobile. An exemplary system includes a receiving station that receives a mobile device; and a display unit that presents, to a driver or a passenger in the automobile, visual information in response to one or more instructions input to the mobile device. The display unit of the system is separate from the mobile device's display. In some embodiments, the display is a mirror, while, in other embodiments, the display is an electronic display. In some embodiments, the receiving station has the ability to receive mobile devices of a plurality of types. | 03-28-2013 |
20130088434 | ACCESSORY TO IMPROVE USER EXPERIENCE WITH AN ELECTRONIC DISPLAY - Embodiments of the invention are directed to systems, methods and computer program products for determining positional data associated with a hand or a finger that interacts with a touch panel device. In some embodiments, a method includes determining, with respect to a touch panel device, positional data associated with a user's first hand that interacts with the touch panel device. Additionally, the method includes creating an image of the user's first hand using the positional data. Additionally, the method includes transmitting the image of the user's first hand to a display device. Additionally, the method includes presenting the image of the user's hand on the display device. Additionally, the method includes identifying a finger of the user's first hand based at least partially on the determining, with respect to a touch panel device, positional data associated with a user's first hand that interacts with the touch panel device. | 04-11-2013 |
