  • VIRTUAL SALESMAN
    Publication number: 20140253819
    Abstract: The Virtual Salesman is the combination of a virtual mannequin, which is a Plexiglass or any transparent material cut-out, that has a special projection foil stuck on the back which turns it into hi-resolution projection screen. A pre-recorded video of an actor/actress or animated character is then projected onto the cut-out, this creates a lifelike video image. There are speakers for sound, either built into the kiosk or in the booth construction. The Virtual Salesman combines this to a touch screen kiosk or touchscreen with an interface having user selectable options, each option having a moving image and or verbal command associated with the option selected on the touchscreen or touchscreen kiosk. The Virtual Salesman reacts to the option selected on the touchscreen or touchscreen kiosk through visual and verbal recordings on the cut-out virtual mannequin.

  • INPUT REDIRECTION WITH A CLOUD CLIENT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20140195595
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a cloud client device identifies one or more devices within a pre-determined range of the cloud client device operable to communicate with the cloud client device. The cloud client device pairs with one or more of the devices. The cloud client device receives first input from a client device coupled to the cloud client device. The cloud client device translates the first input from a first format to a second format and sends the translated first input to one of the one or more devices. The cloud client device receives second input from one of the one or more devices, translates the second input from a third format to a fourth format, and provides the translated second input to the client device.

  • Systems and methods for decompression and elliptical traction of the cervical and thoracic spine
    Patent number: 8764693
    Abstract: A traction device comprises a frame, a first bladder portion, a second bladder portion, a spacer, and a pump. The first bladder expands in an outward direction a distance greater than in a transverse direction. The second bladder expands in an angular direction. The second bladder is positioned generally below and to the side of the first bladder. Upon expanding in the outward direction, the first bladder bears against the back of the user's neck. Upon expanding in the transverse direction, the first bladder applies an angular traction to the cervical spine. Upon expanding in the angular direction, the second bladder bears angularly against the back of the user's upper thoracic region.

  • Systems and methods for decompression and elliptical traction of the cervical and thoracic spine
    Patent number: 8734372
    Abstract: A traction device comprises a frame, a first bladder portion, a second bladder portion, a strap, and a pump. The first bladder expands in an outward direction a distance greater than in a transverse direction. The second bladder expands in an angular direction. The second bladder is positioned generally below and to the side of the first bladder. The frame is secured to the user's head. Upon expanding in the outward direction, the first bladder bears against the back of the user's neck and forces the cervical spine to curve forwardly. Upon expanding in the transverse direction, the first bladder applies an angular traction to the cervical spine. Upon expanding in the angular direction, the second bladder bears angularly against the back of the user's upper thoracic region and forces the thoracic spine to decompress and reduces hyper-kyphosis of the upper thoracic spine.

  • Network interface controller with direct connection to host memory
    Publication number: 20140095753
    Abstract: A network interface device for a host computer includes a network interface, configured to transmit and receive data packets to and from a network. Packet processing logic transfers data to and from the data packets transmitted and received via the network interface by direct memory access (DMA) from and to a system memory of the host computer. A memory controller includes a first memory interface configured to be connected to the system memory and a second memory interface, configured to be connected to a host complex of the host computer. Switching logic alternately couples the first memory interface to the packet processing logic in a DMA configuration and to the second memory interface in a pass-through configuration.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION SHARING USING NEAR PROXIMITY COMMUNICATION
    Publication number: 20130225081
    Abstract: Source data stored on a source device may be shared with one or more devices. Sharing the source data may include facilitating receiving, at a first device, a first token associated with the source data, from a second device, using a near proximity communication (NPC) protocol. The NPC protocol may support generation of the first token based on detection of presence of the first device within five feet of the second device. The first token may be encoded for NPC communication and may be non-public. The first token may be based on the source data and the receipt of the first token may be based on the detection. The first token may be decoded and communicated, based on a first communication protocol, to a third device to download the source data using the decoded first token. The second device may be an NPC-enabled device.
