Abstract: In one example, a computer system for customized order fulfillment includes modules in a computer readable medium that a processor executes. An order module accepts an order for an object from a customer with a set of options, a set of preferences, and a representation of the customer. A unique ID module associates a unique ID with the object. A binding module physically binds the unique ID as an appurtenance of the object. A display module displays the representation of the customer in a vicinity of the of the appurtenance for the object after fulfillment of the order.

Abstract: Systems and methods are operable to securely store media content events on a flash memory device. An exemplary embodiment receives user-provided authorization information, compares the received user-provided authorization information with authorization information associated with the flash memory device, and permits access to a flash memory of the flash memory device when the received user-provided authorization information corresponds to the authorization information.

Abstract: A media content receiving device, such as a set top box, includes a chassis that incorporates a heat bridge, a heat shield or both. The heat bridge may take the form of a structural wall coupled to, but preferably integrated with, the chassis to facilitate conductive heat transfer into a chassis panel. The heat bridge may be configured to receive heat radiated from a chip having a die to be cooled. The heat shield may take the form of a wall-type structure protruding from a chassis panel. For example, the heat shield may extend from a top panel of the chassis in a fin-like or flange-like manner to provide a thermal barrier between adjacent electrical components arranged on a circuit board. While the heat shield protects the adjacent component from potential thermal damage or degradation, it may also operate to transfer heat into the chassis.

Abstract: A media device includes at least one piezoelectric fan selectively located to draw or urge air past one or more electrical components, such as an integrated circuit chip. Preferably, the piezoelectric fan is located within a channel milled or otherwise formed in the chip, however the fan may be located proximate the channel yet in fluid communication therewith. The piezoelectric fan operates to convectively cool the electrical component and may also prevent heat that has been generated by the electrical component from moving toward another electrical component within the media device. Thus, the configuration and location of the piezoelectric fan may advantageously cool one component while preventing heat energy from building up around one or more other components mounted nearby.

Abstract: An interactive display system is disclosed. The interactive display system includes a display surface and a digital light processor configured to project a plurality of pixels onto said display surface to generate a viewable image. The digital light processor is further configured to substantially simultaneously project encoded optical signals to said display surface such that said viewable image is not noticeably degraded.
