Abstract: A thermo-acoustic insulation module for an aircraft includes a fiber batt defining an exterior side, an interior side, a thickness between the exterior side and the interior side, and a periphery. The thermo-acoustic insulation module also includes a mass layer disposed at least on the exterior side of the fiber batt, on the interior side of the fiber batt, or between the exterior side and the interior side of the fiber batt. An exterior encapsulating sheet is disposed exteriorly to the exterior side of the fiber batt. Similarly, an interior encapsulating sheet disposed interiorly to the interior side of the fiber batt. A peripheral seam connects the exterior encapsulating sheet to the interior encapsulating sheet adjacent to the periphery of the fiber batt, thereby creating an envelope encapsulating the fiber batt.

Abstract: A system and method to interactively connect real entities (object or person) to virtual entities or representation thereof and share information therebetween is provided. Moreover, the virtual entities are linked, via a network and/or via a wireless network-enabled device to their real life counterparts. Hence, the system allows, via the network and/or wireless network-enable devices, the gathering of information related to the real entities and the virtual representations thereof. In another aspect of the invention, the system and method allow interactions between the operator and/or sponsor of a real life or virtual event and real life and/or virtual participants therein.

Abstract: A contextual windows-based interface and a computer-implemented method for use with the contextual windows-based interface are provided. The interface consists of several generally adjacently disposed contextual windows wherein each contextual window generally leads to an application and/or data or can contain further levels of related contextual windows, each of them leading to other applications and/or data. The method associated with the interface allows for the contextual windows to interact with each other in order to provide additional functionalities. Hence, the method provides for the selection of contextual windows and for the creation of interactional data based on the combination of the data related to the selected contextual windows. The interactional data can be used to update the content of one or more contextual windows and/or can be transmitted to a remote server, via a communication network, for further processing.

Abstract: The invention relates to portable interactive display systems, which may be used with for instance advertising using multimedia presentations. Past portable display systems have not allowed the audience to interact with the display in an effective manner. The device of the invention is configured to be mounted on the human body with a general support frame (20) while displaying a video image from a display (70). A carrying sack (40) contains media generating means. An input device allows the audience to interact with the display system to play video games or use software applications, wherever the display system may be.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic image display system. The system of the invention can be used, for example, as an advertising device using audiovisual presentations of digital image files, digital video files, and/or digital audio files.

Abstract: The invention relates to portable dynamic display device, which may be used with for instance advertising using multimedia presentations. The device of the invention may be configured to be mounted on a human body and carried from place to place while displaying a video image and playing an audio track.

Abstract: The present invention relates to method and apparatus for presenting a graphical user interface for use in displaying graphics on a computer display. A frame window is launched that includes a main menu and defines a window border that bounds a user work surface on a display monitor. A first borderless child window is attached to the frame window. This first borderless window is a graphics display window for displaying an image on the user work surface. One or more additional borderless child windows are attached to the frame window. These other child windows display controls such as buttons and icons that allow the user to control depiction of the image within the first borderless child window. The buttons and icons have a sculpted appearance that appears raised in a first state and appear reversed when `depressed` or activated by the user.

Abstract: An optical viewing device for creating an illusory image from a light source such as a cathode ray tube which includes mirrors for viewing the light source along plural paths through separate filters to separate the viewed image into independently positionable images.
