  • Patent number: 9516291
    Abstract: Television systems are disclosed that incorporate separate A/V processing systems and television displays. The television displays can receive video driving signals wirelessly from the A/V processing system that can be used to directly drive the display driver of the television display. By separating the electronics used to receive various input sources of audio and video (A/V) content from the television display, the television display can be designed to consume less power, can be manufactured to be significantly lighter and can be installed with fewer cables. Indeed, cables can be eliminated entirely, where the A/V processing system communicates wirelessly with the television display and the television display obtains power wirelessly from a wireless power supply.

  • Patent number: 5710883
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for publishing a hypertext file set on a world-wide web server machine by packaging the hypertext file set as an e-mail message on a client machine, transporting the e-mail message over the internet from the client machine to the world-wide web server machine, unpacking the e-mail message to recover the hypertext file set, and depositing the hypertext file set into a memory means on the world-wide web server machine. By using the e-mail transport mechanism, a direct internet connection between the client and server is not necessary. Consequently, the method allows files to pass through security firewalls and allows geographically disperse individuals to remotely update information at a WWW site without compromising server security. In addition, processing time is not wasted during direct connections sharing the server's resources and internet bandwidth is not wasted.
