  • Patent number: 8504640
    Abstract: A method of providing three dimensional (3D) information is disclosed in which a master recruits a local slave to provide contemporaneous images. The images are collected and 3D information extracted therefrom. The 3D information or various images may be transmitted to a remote device and is employed to provide a substitute background that replaces the background of the original image. Either the new image is displayed on one or both devices. The images can be collected and the 3D information extracted at either of the master or slave or at a separate device. To recruit the slave, the master broadcasts a query to all local devices, determines the available devices and their characteristics, automatically or manually selects a particular device, requests authorization from the selected device, and pairs with the selected device when authorization is received. Devices of the same or different types may be paired.

  • Patent number: 8175651
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for receiving, by a telephone device, data of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) menu tree that is made available to the telephone device by a server of a remote database, or in the alternative, is made dynamically available to the telephone device. In an embodiment, an IVR menu tree may include menu tags according to a menu description protocol and may be delivered as the IVR menu tree is updated so that the telephone device receives an up-to-date menu tree automatically. The received IVR menu tree may be visually output to the display screen of the telephone device. Accordingly, the received IVR menu tree can be visual menu output rendered as a menu tree display and configured to be navigable on the display screen by a user input device, such as a joy stick or key pad.

  • Patent number: 7493773
    Abstract: A system for monitoring the amount of refrigerant supplied from a refrigerant tank to a plurality of refrigerant systems comprising a tank valve for connection to a refrigerant tank at a predetermined location. A rack of refrigerant rack lines is routed from the location to the refrigerant systems for connecting the tank valve and refrigerant to the refrigerant systems. Rack valves are disposed in the refrigerant rack lines for controlling the flow of refrigerant through the rack lines to a selected refrigerant system. A sensor for determining the amount of refrigerant supplied from the refrigerant tank to a refrigerant system and recording the supplied amount of refrigerant. The system controller controls the rack valves and tank valve to selectively connect the supply of refrigerant in the refrigerating tank with a selected refrigerant system so that the amount of refrigerant delivered to the refrigerant system is recorded by the system controller.
