Abstract: In some embodiments, a head-mounted, near-eye display system comprises a stack of waveguides having integral spacers separating the waveguides. The waveguides may each include diffractive optical elements that are formed simultaneously with the spacers by imprinting. The spacers are disposed on one major surface of each of the waveguides and indentations are provided on an opposite major surface of each of the waveguides. The indentations are sized and positioned to align with the spacers, thereby forming a self-aligned stack of waveguides. Tops of the spacers may be provided with light scattering features, anti-reflective coatings, and/or light absorbing adhesive to prevent light leakage between the waveguides. As seen in a top-down view, the spacers may be elongated along the same axis as the diffractive optical elements. The waveguides may include structures (e.g.

Abstract: In one aspect, the present disclosure implements a method that determines whether a submitted image satisfies a geographic constraint which includes defining a rule that establishes a geographic restriction on the submitted image, accessing a geo-code associated with the submitted image, determining whether the geo-code indicates that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, and if a determination is made that the submitted image was taken at a location that violates the geographic restriction defined in the rule, eliminating the submitted image from being considered a valid entry in the contest.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for creating a textured or patterned surface on elastomeric extruded film.

Abstract: A system and method for attaching geographical markers to a variety of objects, including real-world objects, electronic documents, people, software applications, and other items of information, including stationary and moving entities. In accordance with an embodiment, the system provides an object location identifier (OLI), and can use additional forms of identifiers such as universal location referencing objects (ULRO) for mapping real-world objects, electronic documents, people, software applications, and other items of information. The object location identifier answers the questions of who and where a particular object may be. A mobile object location identifier (MOLI) feature can also be provided as a standardized way for specifying an object location identifier for user with mobile entities, including people, websites, and wireless applications.

Abstract: The present invention is a Retro-fit side-signal light kit that is relatively inexpensive. The kit includes two light housings with automotive bulbs and lenses, a curved flange base to wrap around the front fender of a vehicle, with wires imbedded and suitable wire connectors at their distal ends. The base has a self-adhesive strip on the back to securely mount the light to the front fenders of a vehicle directly above and behind the front wheels. The side-signal light kit is designed to be easily installed by the average vehicle owner without technical knowledge or special tools and without permanent damage or alteration to the vehicle these lights are to be actuated by the respective lights of the vehicles present signal light system, when their wires are connected to the backside of the existing front signal lights. Thus facilitating better visibility and safer turns and lane changes.
