Abstract: A modular, portable writing and projection system having a variable curvature is disclosed. The system uses dry erase boards, chalk or black boards, or other flexible panels having at least one writing surface. The panels have edges for joining to posts. The system combines panels to form a large, modular system for use at meetings, gatherings or other assemblies. The system allows a large number of users to contribute to a presentation, and also allows users to view the presentation. Because the panels are flexible, the system may be curved, allowing more panels to be mounted, used, written on and viewed, within limited space. The panels may be used in either a convex or concave manner, i.e., curved in or curved out, as desired. The resistance of the panels to remaining in a curved state is overcome by feet on the posts and braking or holding devices on the feet.

Abstract: A modular collaborative panel system intended for use on walls, frames and stands is disclosed. The system uses dry erase boards, chalk or black boards, or other panels having at least one writing surface. The panels have notches or cut-outs on each side so the panels can be mounted to a wall or a frame using pegs. The system combines panels in rows or columns, or both, to form a large, modular system for use at meetings, gatherings or other assemblies. The system allows a large number of users to contribute to a presentation, and also allows users to view the presentation.

Abstract: A vehicle entertainment system includes an image capture system, an image processing and storage system, and a user interface. The image capture system includes at least one interior camera adapted and positioned to capture images of at least one location within the vehicle. The image processing and storage system is electronically coupled to the image capture system and includes an image processor and a memory unit. The image processor receives and formats the images, while the memory unit stores the images. The interface system is electronically coupled to the image processing and storage system and includes a display unit, a user interface and a wireless communication unit. The display unit displays a plurality of the interior and exterior images. The user interface is engageable by a user to select the images displayed on the display unit and to direct the storage of the selected images in the memory unit.

Abstract: A vehicle entertainment system is operable by a device remote from the entertainment system. The entertainment system includes an entertainment console including a plurality of entertainment applications. Each of the plurality of entertainment applications is adapted to receive and process an entertainment medium. The entertainment console includes an application program interface adapted to operate the plurality of entertainment applications and select an entertainment media. The entertainment console generates an output signal corresponding to the selected entertainment media. An output unit receives the output signal and generates an output corresponding to the selected entertainment medium. A wireless communication device is adapted to send and receive signals between the entertainment console and the remote device such that the application program interface is accessible using the remote device.

Abstract: A home wellness system includes a base station having a wireless communication port, a telephone communication port and a memory with a plurality of digital images. The system also includes a plurality of network devices, with at least one of the network devices having a sensor adapted to detect an event, and a wireless communication port adapted to send the detected event to the wireless communication port of the base station. Another device, such as a cellular telephone, includes a telephone communication port and a display. The telephone communication port of the base station is adapted to send one of the digital images to the telephone communication port of the cellular telephone responsive to receipt of the detected event at the wireless communication port of the base station. The cellular telephone is adapted to responsively display the one of the digital images on the display thereof.

Abstract: A home wellness system includes a plurality of sensors, each including a first wireless port and a second program port, and a headless base station including a wireless port. A portable display and configuration fob includes a portable housing, a first wireless port wirelessly communicating with the wireless port of the base station, a second program port adapted for communication with the second program port of the sensors when engaged with or proximate that port, a rotary thumbwheel encoder, and a display. A processor receives engagement or proximity information from the second port of the portable fob, selects sensor information describing the sensors and responsive to the encoder, and sends the sensor information to the wireless port of the base station.

Abstract: A home wellness system includes a server having a wireless transceiver, a plurality of sensors each of which has a wireless transceiver adapted to communicate sensor information to the server wireless transceiver, and a portable display and configuration fob. The portable fob includes a rotary thumbwheel encoder, a display and a wireless transceiver communicating with the server wireless transceiver. The thumbwheel encoder and the display cooperate to provide a first rotary menu for displaying the sensor information of the sensors and a second rotary menu for configuring the sensors.

Abstract: An architecture and electric system for controlling various devices is disclosed. The system uses modular, interchangeable components that can perform one or several tasks, such as interacting with a human user, controlling an external device, communicating and managing communications between several modules, storing and retrieving information, and acting as a master module. The modules are stackable and can interface with any other module.
