Abstract: Systems, methods and devices are disclosed that provided for providing remote video feedback. The disclosure herein includes a transmitting computing device that is configured to produce an image frame encoded with metadata and to transmit the encoded image frame over a network to a remote display device. The remote display device includes a viewing screen contained in a chassis with bevel. The viewing screen includes an information validation pixel with the chassis extending over and covering the image validation pixel. The chassis also includes a photo sensor positioned on the under side of the bezel so as to be in operational view of the image validation pixel. The system also includes a sensor electronics module that is configured to detect the metadata when the metadata is displayed by the information content pixel and is received by the photo sensor. The sensor electronics module also generates image frame feedback information based upon the detecting.

Abstract: A system for alerting motorists about an approaching emergency vehicle is disclosed, which broadcasts an emergency warning message that motorists can readily hear and use to determine the approach direction of the emergency vehicle. For example, a system for alerting motorists about an approaching emergency vehicle is disclosed, which includes a transmitter unit for the emergency vehicle that broadcasts an emergency warning message over a short range radio frequency, a GPS receiver unit for the emergency vehicle that provides the emergency vehicle's position, and a processor unit that regularly retrieves the emergency vehicle's position data, determines the emergency vehicle's heading, and generates the emergency warning message including pertinent position and heading information. Thus, a motorist within broadcast range can receive and hear the emergency warning message on the radio of the motorist's vehicle, and ascertain from the message the nearness and approach direction of the emergency vehicle.

Abstract: A method for moisture detection and removal is provided. The method involves providing discrete feedback as an indication of current moisture accumulation on a surface of a perforated plane, wherein the plane includes at least one moisture sensor, integrated within the surface to form the plane, comparing the indication of current moisture accumulation with a threshold value, when the indication of current moisture accumulation exceeds the threshold value, sending an activation signal to a moisture removal mechanism, removing the current moisture accumulation from an area of the first surface bound by the at least one moisture sensor, and clearing the indication of current moisture accumulation to avoid any unnecessary operation of the moisture removal mechanism.

Abstract: An architecture for a reconfigurable network that can be implemented on a semiconductor chip is disclosed, which includes a hierarchical organization of network components and functions that are readily programmable and highly flexible. Essentially, a reconfigurable network on a chip is disclosed, which includes aspects of reconfigurable computing, system on a chip, and network on a chip designs.

Abstract: A moisture sensing apparatus, system and method. In general, a surface can be provided, and one or more conductor pairs located in a plane of the surface. Each conductor of the conductor pair(s) is insulated from one another. Water droplets forming on the conductor pair(s) thereby provide a quantifiable measurement of water on the surface. A controller can be electrically connected to the conductor pair(s), wherein the controller provides data indicative of whether or not the conductor pair is shorted.
