  • Patent number: 9513776
    Abstract: A system for providing wireless control of a visual aid based on movement detection is disclosed. The system also enables a presenter to gesture at a visual aid and have a pointer be displayed on screens displaying the visual aid. The system may generate a three-dimensional depth image of an environment including a user and a device displaying the visual aid. Additionally, the system may determine a position of the user relative to the environment and to the device based on the three-dimensional image. Furthermore, the system may detect a gesture based on the position of the user and the three-dimensional depth image. If the gesture made by the user matches a predetermined input gesture corresponding to a controller operation for controlling the visual aid, then the controller operation may be executed. The system may display an output of the executed controller operation at a remote device.

  • Patent number: 9196157
    Abstract: The disclosed subject matter provides for traffic analysis employing timed fingerprint location information. In an aspect, TFL information can be associated with location characteristics for a UE. These location characteristics can describe the motion of the UE. As such, with proper analysis, the motion of the UE can be correlated to traffic patterns. Transportation analytics can employ TFL information to provide real time or near real time traffic information, forecast traffic conditions, or automate response to traffic conditions based on TFL information. Whereas TFL can provide advantages over other types of location information systems, leveraging TFL information in traffic analysis can reflect these advantages. Further, whereas TFL information can be gathered from nearly all modern and many legacy mobile devices, large volumes of TFL information can be employed in related transportation analytics.

  • Patent number: 8936158
    Abstract: A product package is presented that has a sliding tray disposed within a sleeve. Both the sleeve and the tray have a tab on their top portions through which is positioned a hang-hole. The hang-holes in these two tabs align when the tray is inserted into the sleeve, allowing a display hanger to pass through the hole in both tabs. The tray also has a structure with an overhang portion that extends beyond a side wall of the tray. The overhang portion is positioned to abut the edge of the sleeve when the tray is fully inserted into the sleeve to prevent the tray from passing too far into, or even through the sleeve.
