  • Publication number: 20160285551
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for identifying entities and communicating using lightweight and wearable free space optical systems. A variety of optical and electronic elements are used to enable communications and identification in an environment where identification and communication must be accomplished to address a variety of constraints. Such constraints can include frequency congested environments or environments in which communication should be done using non radio frequency (RF) systems. Embodiments include converting data into optical signals that are transmitted using a laser which are received by optical receivers and converted into audio output.

  • Publication number: 20130304526
    Abstract: One variation of a method for cross-selling flight reservations and travel-related goods includes: receiving a detail of a flight itinerary from a flight reservation interface of an airline; receiving a discounted fare for the flight itinerary; querying a travel-related good inventory system for a standalone price and a discounted price for a travel-related good based on the detail of the flight itinerary; calculating a package rate for the flight itinerary and the travel-related good according to the discounted fare of the flight itinerary and the discounted price of the travel-related good; calculating a savings amount for the package rate over a total standalone rate for the flight itinerary and the standalone price for the travel-related good; and returning a travel package comprising the travel-related good and a flight reservation specified in the flight itinerary, the package rate for the travel package, and the savings amount to the flight reservation interface.

  • Publication number: 20130036087
    Abstract: An integrated system for facilitating visibility and management of projects in a Content Management Application (CMA) is provided. A Project Application Server PAS is enabled to coordinate and associate with a CMA and to identify projects, project data, and project task lists associated with the projects processed by the CMA. The PAS may import the projects, the associated project data, and project task lists, into a central database managed by the PAS. The PAS database may also provide a centralized framework for displaying projects and enabling a user to view the projects in order to see activity and content related to a particular project in the centralized PAS framework. The PAS and the CMA may be continuously synchronized in order to maintain current versions of project content as projects are modified by users in the CMA and/or the PAS framework.

  • Publication number: 20060112866
    Abstract: A stitch regulator (50) for use with a sewing machine (34) transported by a moveable platform (26) includes a housing (52) configured to be coupled to one of the sewing machine (34) and the moveable platform (26). An X-axis rate sensor (92) and a Y-axis rate sensor (96) determine movement of the sewing machine (34) on the moveable platform (26). A microcontroller (118) is contained in the housing (52) and is in communication with the sensors (92, 96). The microcontroller (118) generates a motor control signal (126) in response to the movement of the sewing machine (34) for input into a motor control input port (88) of the sewing machine (34).
