    Abstract: A presentation moderator assembly for facilitating nonverbal and nonphysical communication between a moderator and a presenter includes a base unit that is positioned in view of a presenter. The base unit has a first light emitter that is selectively illuminated to communicate to the presenter that the presenter may begin speaking. The base unit has a second light emitter that is selectively illuminated to communicate to the presenter that the presenter should begin finishing speaking. The base unit has a third light emitter that is selectively illuminated to communicate to the presenter to stop speaking. A remote unit is carried by a moderator and the remote unit is in electrical communication with the base unit. The remote unit selectively turns on each of the first, second and third light emitters.

  • Publication number: 20140026452
    Abstract: A portable message panel system is provided, comprising at least one message panel, wherein each panel includes a coilable frame member having a folded and an unfolded orientation. A fabric material covers selected portions of the frame member to form the panel, the fabric material held taut within the frame member when assuming the unfolded orientation of the frame member, so that the fabric material extends in a flat planar configuration when the frame member is in its unfolded orientation. The fabric material includes one or more reinforced holes formed into the fabric material, and includes one or more quick-release buckles adapted to engage other panels to form a multi-panel assembly. The system further includes one or more mounting brackets, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a base having one or more suction devices adapted for adhering to a surface, and a clamping device adapted to grip the panel.
