Abstract: A workout music playback device for playing workout music during a workout with given workout parameters by arranging and assembling song segments of original musical recordings in accordance with workout parameters. The device has a media output manager configured to receive said workout parameters and prepare audio output information on arranging a sequence of song segments into an edited song recording. It has an instruction relay module configured to receive said audio output information, and transmit said workout audio output instructions. The device has a media output generator configured to receive said audio output instructions from said instruction relay module, retrieve and assemble said song recording data of said original musical recording from said memory in accordance with said audio output instructions, and transmit a data stream of workout music corresponding to said workout parameters.

Abstract: The preferred embodiment of the present invention compensates for the phosphorous glow of cathode ray tube displays which is retained from one image to the next and eliminates the ghosting effect seen when viewing 3-D images using shutter, polarized or colored stereoscopic glasses. It can additionally be used to compensate for light leaking through LCD shutter glasses. The source images for each eye are not displayed directly once modulated. The source images are modified using positive and negative ratio combinations of both eye images to be displayed to each eye. The displayed image for one eye is a percentage of the source image for that eye, minus a percentage of the source image for the other eye, plus a percentage of white. The ratio can be preset or modified in real-time by the viewer.

Abstract: A video signal processor intended to be connected between a computer video output and a monitor that transforms non-interlaced video output into interlaced video output intended to be used for presentation of stereoscopic video 2D images, giving illusion of 3D presentations. The invention also comprises LCD glasses connected through infra-red light beams to the video signal processor for alternatively opening one of the glasses' eye in accordance with the current image being shown onto the video monitor. The present invention also provides greater resolution by replacing the blank lines from an interlaced image by the previous adjacent image line.

Abstract: A method for decoding and reconstructing a scrambled video signal is provided in which a scrambled video signal is received and the location of at least one predetermined element of the scrambled video signal is determined. Next, a horizontal sync is generated at the proper location of an output signal in response to the location of the at least one predetermined element of the scrambled video signal. Finally, the remainder of the scrambled video signal is output as an unscrambled video signal. A method of encoding a video signal is also provided, which comprises the steps of receiving an unscrambled video signal and producing a scrambled video signal by altering at least one predetermined element of the unscrambled video signal without providing encoding data to aid in the decoding of the scrambled video signal.
