Abstract: A variety of tools for demonstrating the mathematical properties is disclosed. In one embodiment, a demonstrator uses the tools to illuminate geometric relationships between objects in two and three-dimensional space. The tools may be a stationary exhibit or collected into a portable kit. Whether portable or stationary, the tools provide an easy to use, multi-functional, and visually captivating vehicle for demonstration of geometric properties.

Abstract: An exhibit to assist in teaching mathematical properties to individuals may include a tricycle with square wheels. The tricycle may be mounted on a circular track with arcuate segments that effectively smooth out the motion imparted by the square wheels.

Abstract: Systems and methods for receiving infrared data with a camera designed to detect images based on visible light are provided. A system can include a camera and image processing circuitry electrically coupled to the camera. The image processing circuitry can determine whether each image detected by the camera includes an infrared signal with encoded data. If the image processing circuitry determines that an image includes an infrared signal with encoded data, the circuitry may route at least a portion of the image (e.g., the infrared signal) to circuitry operative to decode the encoded data. If the image processing circuitry determines that an image does not include an infrared signal with encoded data, the circuitry may route the image to a display or storage. Images routed to the display or storage can then be used as individual pictures or frames in a video because those images do not include any effects of infrared light communications.

Abstract: This is directed to a personalized avatar providing a true representation of the user's body, such that the avatar provides a substantially accurate graphical representation of the user's body. The avatar can be defined using any suitable approach, including by providing measurements of the user's body or extracting measurements from photographs of the user. The user can direct an electronic device to apply selected articles of clothing, accessories, or other items to the user's avatar to preview the appearance of the items on the user. In some embodiments, an electronic device can recommend different clothing items or other objects based on the user's body type.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate generally to methods and apparatus for retrieving data captured by a media device. For example, a method (300) for securely retrieving data captured by a media device (100) includes the step of a supplier offering (302) a media device to a third party. The third party captures (304) one or more media types with the media device, and contacts (306) the supplier for processing a selection of the one or more media types. The supplier provides (308) a key (200-290) to enable access to the one or more media types stored in the media device, accesses (312) the selection of the one or more media types, and processes (314) said selection. The capturing, contacting, providing, accessing and processing steps can be applied two or more use-cycles unconstrained by a supplier of said device. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
