Abstract: An optical laminate is applied to an interior surface of a window of a vehicle. The optical laminate includes a photochromic layer, a semi-reflective film comprised of a substrate coated with a reflective material, and a micro-lens array. The semi-reflective layer is disposed between the photochromic layer and the micro-lens array. The photochromic layer is disposed between the surface of the window and the semi-reflective film. A projected image comprised of incoherent light reflects from the optical laminate to a vehicle occupant.

Abstract: An augmented reality projection system includes a projector aimed at a reflective coating, a processor operably coupled to the projector and a virtual image bank accessible from the processor. A motorized gimbal positioning system aims the projector for various effects. A camera determines image locations and distortion. GPS and IMU devices supply location and motion information for determining location and heading relevant images. Communications with a smart phone enable user interaction and input. Thus a relevant interactive augmented reality display is created for the benefit of a passenger.

Abstract: A method for compensating a promoter for recommending a provider to a patron entails use of communicatively coupled applications on a promoter's phone and a provider's computing device. The provider selects the promoter on behalf of a patron and causes a unique code to be sent to the patron's cell phone. The patron presents the code to the provider at the time of patronage, at which time the provider pays the promoter an amount communicated to the promoter's application prior to the selection.

Abstract: A post-distorter compensates for receiver nonlinearity in calibration mode. Linearized receiver-side output from the post-distorter is used to correctly compensate for transmitter-side nonlinearities in calibration mode. The post-distorter also compensates for receiver-side nonlinearities during normal receive mode. Thus, the post-distorter features dual modes of use, a calibration mode, wherein calibration signals received from the adjacent transmitter are linearized by the post-distorter and a normal receive mode, wherein communication signals from a remote transmitter are linearized by the post-distorter.

Abstract: A source telephone terminal connected to the PSTN conveys an instant message to a target telephone terminal during voice communication. The source telephone may be equipped with a Central Office Call Waiting Caller ID (COCWCID) protocol emulator for conveying an alert signal to the target telephone terminal to inform the target telephone terminal that the source telephone terminal wishes to convey an instant message; and for conveying the instant message to the target telephone terminal in response to an acknowledge signal received from the target telephone terminal. The target telephone may be a regular telephone having a Customer Premises Equipment CWCID protocol support and may optionally have a COCWCID protocol emulator so that instant messages can be conveyed bi-directionally. In a hybrid telephone network containing PSTN, VoIP and cellular telephones, the telephone terminals may be appropriate gateways equipped with CWCID protocol transmission and reception capability.
