Abstract: 3D stereoscopic viewing enabled by the use of a fast switching speed LCD panel, dynamic backlight, and low cost glasses. The system utilizes an LCD panel with an LED backlight and wavelength selective glasses to isolate each channel by color. The system is based on alternating left and right image frames on an LCD panel. The left and right frames are illuminated by two slightly different red-green-blue light sources that are synchronized sequentially. The light sources are designed to emit light of different spectral composition. The viewer wears glasses where the left lens or filter passes only the spectrum of light used for the left channel of data, and the right lens or filter passes only the spectrum of light used for the right channel of data.

Abstract: An untethered stylus is configured to cooperate with a location sensor that generates a magnetic field. The stylus include a housing having a tip and a shield. Circuitry, including a power circuit, is provided in the housing. An antenna arrangement provided at the housing includes multiple coil resonant circuits each tuned to a different frequency of the magnetic field. A first coil resonant circuit energizes the power circuit in response to the magnetic field, which provides DC power to the circuitry. One or more other coil resonant circuits are coupled between the tip and shield of the housing to define separate channels for communicatively coupling the stylus tip and the location sensor. An information signal communicated between the stylus tip and the location sensor is substantially unperturbed during provision of DC power by the first coil resonant circuit.

Abstract: A wireless network sensor includes several sensors for detecting events occurring proximate the sensors. It also includes a processor for receiving and processing data from the sensors and a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting data. The processor is programmed to determine if an event occurred related to a particular change in a signal level of a signal received from one of the sensors and compress the event data. The compressed data can then be wirelessly sent to a computer for additional processing such as providing an indication of traffic patterns in an area monitored by the wireless network sensor.
