Abstract: A digital signage system allows a person to use the person's own mobile device as a voice input device to the digital signage system and also can leverage the person's mobile device in other ways such as by accepting other inputs from the mobile device, providing various outputs to the mobile device, or utilizing communication capabilities of the mobile device.

Abstract: A mobile communication device and an “app” for a mobile communication device for synchronizing audio with a delayed video displayed on a display device, including (a) receiving an audio signal over a wireless communication system, the audio signal containing audio information corresponding to delayed video information displayed on a display device, wherein the audio information is received at the mobile communication device prior to the corresponding delayed video information being displayed on the display device; (b) providing a user interface to the user including an audio delay control allowing the user to control an amount of delay added to the audio information for synchronizing output of the audio information with the delayed video information displayed on the display device; and (c) outputting the audio information via an audio interface of the mobile communication device delayed by the amount of delay added via the audio delay control.

Abstract: The audio portion of an A/V signal is sent to one or more mobile devices and the video portion of the A/V signal is sent to one or more separate display devices in such a way that the signal provided to the display device(s) contains video information that is delayed by a predetermined amount greater than the expected amount of delay in a communication network over which the audio information is sent to the mobile device(s) so that the audio is received by the mobile device(s) at or before the time the video is displayed on the display device. The signal provided to the display device may include the audio information and/or other information. The amount by which the information provided to the display device (i.e., the video and optionally the corresponding audio and/or other information) is delayed may be fixed or variable/configurable.

Abstract: A device for instantaneous, non-poisonous extermination of insects by means of an aerosol assembly having a cap enclosure removably secured to the aerosol nozzle for trapping an insect. The propellent in the aerosol can, upon release in the cap enclosure, expands suddenly to form an extremely cold gas that instantaneously freezes any insect trapped in said cap enclosure. The valve assembly and cap enclosure can be selectively turned to permit the extinction of insects on floors, walls, and ceilings. A child safety device is utilized which permits actuation of the valve only when the assembly is in a certain position. A further safety device is provided to prevent the discharge of the contents thereof only when the cap is pressed against a firm surface.
