  • Publication number: 20220026736
    Abstract: A holographic projection system is disclosed for cost-effectively generating “real image” holographic images. In at least one embodiment, the system provides an at least one primary image source configured for projecting a primary image via an at least one light ray. A computing device is in communication with the at least one primary image source and configured for providing the primary image to be subsequently projected by the at least one primary image source. A curved reflector is positioned and configured for receiving and reflecting the at least one light ray toward a focal point of the reflector, the at least one reflected light ray converging at an image point so as to create a hologram of the projected primary image at the image point, with said hologram being viewable by an at least one observer.

  • Publication number: 20170003045
    Abstract: A system and method for advanced digital economization for an HVAC system having an economizer. A digital processing unit is configured to open a damper of an economizer within a dead-band range that allows for preemptive cooling prior to a call for cooling. This economization strategy allows for free cooling (outside air) without having to pay energy costs for cooled (air-conditioned) air. The system and method can be used with or without demand control ventilation (DCV). The method also includes a “self-learning” strategy with outside air and return air sensor to regularly sense past economizer damper modifications and average out recent readings to help set the dead-band range. The method can include the ability to work in conjunction with a variable supply fan speed control, provide fault detection, self-correct, auto-configure, and report system status.

  • Patent number: 6279636
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically merging and attaching documents, such as photocopies of remittance checks or the like, to envelopes from which the documents originated is disclosed. The system uses a series of bins and conveyors to automatically retrieve, synchronize, merge and reassociate each document to its respective envelope.
