  • Apparatus, systems and methods for synchronization of 3-D shutter glasses to one of a plurality of presentation devices
    Patent number: 9654769
    Abstract: Three dimensional (3-D) program content viewing system in a media environment with different media presentation devices detects a first synchronization signal transmitted from a first synchronization signal source, wherein the first synchronization signal is associated with first 3-D program content and includes a first signal identifier. The system detects a second synchronization signal transmitted from a second synchronization signal source, wherein the second synchronization signal is associated with second 3-D program content and includes a second signal identifier. The system then receives a selection of one of the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal and discriminates between the first synchronization signal and the second synchronization signal based upon the first signal identifier and the second signal identifier.

  • HURRICANE WINDOW COVER
    Publication number: 20100146881
    Abstract: A protective cover for windows and doors is formed of a resilient and flexible material such as rubber, for example, a rubber material made from recycled tires. The cover may be rolled up to form a cylinder for storage when not needed and then unrolled when needed to cover the window or door. A kit contains a pre-sized protective cover and means for securing the cover to a building. When needed, the cover is attached to a cover frame which holds the perimeter of the cover around the window or door to be protected, and support is provided, such as by straps extending across the cover frame, between the cover and the window or door to be protected to limit the stretching of the material.
