  • Patent number: 7281219
    Abstract: A blended learning solution is defined by determining degrees of elements in learning zones. The zones are defined by the types of interactions of the learners. Both formal and informal learning is defined for each zone. A specialized circular display is constructed to depict the optimal blended learning solution.

  • Patent number: 5061997
    Abstract: Apparatus for the control of visible conditions in various spatial environments is disclosed along with a method for operating said apparatus. The apparatus employs programmed central controller means to distribute control signals to remote devices for an adjustment of various local environment conditions. The control signals are developed in a novel manner employing optical means with the output signals therefrom being processed to provide visual information based upon segmenting the visual image into spatial regions and further processing these data signals to reflect the relative light contribution from light sources in the spatial environment being regulated. Typical controller apparatus operating by such means can adjust illumination in the building as well as further provide occupancy or fire detection.
