Abstract: Provides a configuration of an electronics enclosure system and method for manufacture in which a polymer including electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI shielding) properties is configured such that shielding gaskets may be reduced or eliminated completely. Patterned “tubes” of a single or various shapes are molded into the front wall of the front panel providing access to the interior of the front plate and extend behind the rear plane of the front plate, allowing ventilation and providing structural stability in the front plate. Other EMI shielding cuts may be molded or stamped into the sides of the disk-drive enclosure and raised tab structures allow the enclosure to be placed in an array. The container is generally stamped, molded or extruded from Premier® or another EMI-shielding polymer material or a conductive material coating over, preferably a single-layer of shielding polymer that provides sufficient EMI shielding.

Abstract: The invention has an active touch-sensitive transparent layer over a display screen (LCD) in which an electrically responsive material, such as silicon oil or the above-described material is trapped in a very thin layer with a diode at the top part of the layer and an anode at the bottom. The electrically responsive material changes form by expanding when a current passes through the material from the anode part of the layer to the diode. The expanded material stretches part the top layer to create raised portions of the display screen. The raised portions can be used in the following capacities: to assist a vision impaired viewer, enhance night viewing, allowing for reduced attention or resources to touch-screen manipulation, or change the optical properties of the display by creating a three-dimensional optical property in the surface of the flexible material covering the expanding layer.

Abstract: The present invention is designed to complement the existing transportation infrastructure in order to alleviate ever-worsening traffic congestion in problematic areas by minimizing the impact of driver “bunching” habits and/or external events that lead to congestion problems. Events alleviated by the present invention may happen at naturally occurring roadway infrastructures such as merges, lane shifts, and exits, and under conditions like rush hour, accidents, stand-stills, and HOV lane activation times. Further, vehicles allowing their speed and spacing to be controlled should have access to high-flow lanes. This invention will best and most safely be implemented at low speeds when congestion is most problematic and bunching habits prevent the dissipation of gridlock. In particular embodiments, the invention will regulate multiple vehicle accelerations (non-negative acceleration) once a low threshold speed has been reached through the transmission of signals to receivers in properly equipped vehicles.

Abstract: A system for tracking writing motions internally to the pen (2) and communicating such motions to a computer systems. In a preferred embodiment the present invention uses multiple tubes with electrically active material with viscosity surfaces in order to generate the necessary signals to determine the motion of the device in a targeted number of degrees. The data is then filtered (by filter 3100) and optionally processed (by processor 3300) and stored (storage connected to output line 3500). The data (3500) then can be downloaded to a computer to determine the motion of the pen (2).

Abstract: The present invention assists the critical real-time decision making required to make important decision on bidding on various customer procurement commodities in a wireless display advertising markets. The invention provides dynamic pricing as a function of the criteria of the wireless advertising criteria, such as exposures, type of advertisers and geography. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention is a virtual or physical e-commerce application with an interface connected to the wireless advertisement procurement vendors (either the advertising vendor or the wireless telecommunication vendor). A pool of bidders can analyze any tracking data for effective placement in the wireless advertising spaces, such as cell phones, PDAs, or laptops connected to a public or private WAN, based on a number of factors.

Abstract: The present invention details a system for tracking writing motions internally to the pen (or other instrument) and communicating such motions to a general or specific purposes computer systems. In a preferred embodiment the present invention uses multiple tubes with electrically active material with viscosity surfaces in order to generate the necessary signals to determine the motion of the device in a targeted number of degrees. The data on movement is either supplemented with or oriented with magnetically-active thin film material which generates signals when the device is rotated. The data is then filtered and optionally processed and stored. The data then can be downloaded to a computer or other processing device to determine the motion of the pen or other tracking device.

Abstract: The invention teaches an improved security system for accounts or information accessed over a local or wide area network, where the account holder is provided with an alternate security code, usually related to a PIN. During an assault, kidnapping, intimidation or other adverse event, the alternate security or access code/identifier can be placed into the system without the detection of a third party, implementing a contingency scenario and an alternate transaction or access to take place. The contingency instruction protect the assets or information available over the network and executing instructions to protect the account holder by and/or deception of a third party observer.

Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure In one mode the present invention allows for transactions of various types to take place “anonymously” and securely over public (WAN), semi-public (e.g. AOL) and private or subscription networks and without regard or dependency to currency valuations or per se financial institutional policy. The present invention in another mode allows individuals or groups to “attract” investors anonymously over the network in their own asset holdings or even their asset building or acquisition plans, making each individual or pooled group capable of becoming their own “IPO.

Abstract: In order to protect movies being shown in theaters from being taped illicitly by sophisticated digital video cameras, the invention places a translucent layer of material between the camera and the screen, or, in the alternative a “barrier” of light (or non-visible light), neither of which is undetectable to a human movie viewer, but which has an optical property (usually including polarization) such that it impairs the image taken by the digital movie camera. The “lens” variations between an eye and a digital camera can be exploited by the invention by placing the barrier an optically desired distance from the actual screen in order to prevent illicit taping. In certain embodiment the translucent layer is illuminated from target angle including directly into the material at a normal angle.

Abstract: The present invention minimizes the impact of driver habits and/or external events that lead to traffic congestion problems, by regulating the vehicle speed and spacing through controls that are either physical or electronic and received by the vehicle.

Abstract: The invention teaches a contingency interception and information replacement system for transactions conducted over networks that protect an account holder's personal or account information by replacing it with diversionary (fictitious) information or masking particular transactions when the contingency identifier is detected. During a transaction, a user enters a contingency identifier instead of their usual password or code, the contingency identifier is detected over a network to invoke a set of transaction masking rules if the code is mapped. The interception device may simply overlay the transaction information and route it to the account custodian for “normal” processing with the masked information or the interception device may be the account custodian as well. Thus, information regarding transactions and accounts such as locations, amounts, balances, etc. may be replaced upon when the contingency identifier is entered into the networked system.
