  • Patent number: 9472144
    Abstract: A display system, having an emissive body, emitting light in a way that is color temperature controllable. The light emission can be from zones. The emissive body can be a FIPEL type device with a first transparent conductive coating over a light emitting substrate. The zones are each separately controllable for color temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140202683
    Abstract: An ultrasonic device and system is provided for specific application to unloading non-gaseous production (typically mineralized water which may or may not be associated with produced solids and/or hydrocarbon liquids) from gas producing wells. In one embodiment, the system comprises an ultrasonic particle generator bank, including a transformer as needed (geometry of bank varies depending on down hole configurations) with multiple ultrasonic sources for redundancy/longevity and particle formation rate control. The multiple ultrasonic sources may be powered electrically from the surface, or by other means, with a length management conveyance system. The ultrasonic sources may be buoyed at substantially optimal depth below the surface of the non-gaseous production being particlized.

  • Publication number: 20140203099
    Abstract: An ultrasonic dispersion system for dispersing fluid collected from a wellbore during hydrocarbon production is disclosed. The system comprises a holding tank for containing a fluid collection; a fluid intake in communication with the holding tank for input of fluid collected from a wellbore; and an air intake in communication with the holding tank. An ultrasonic generator bank positioned in the holding tank for contact with the fluid collection is used for particlizing the fluid collection to generate an air/particle mixture with the air input into the holding tank. The ultrasonic generator bank comprises an ultrasonic source positioned below the surface of the fluid collection for particlizing at least a portion of the fluid collection; a power source for providing power to the ultrasonic generator bank; and an outlet in an upper region of the holding tank for exhausting the air/particle mixture from the holding tank.

  • Publication number: 20080049979
    Abstract: A chart and method of creating and using said chart is described whereby a user may easily ascertain how to connect many and varied devices to an electronic device by any number of means. The chart is color-coded and organized by rows and columns to aid in ease of use and understanding by a user who may not be familiar with electronic devices and their connections. Furthermore, it contains detailed depictions of the connection means and cabling required so as to aid in identifying the proper connection means for any number of these devices.

  • Publication number: 20050128353
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for using a second remote control device for sub-picture control in a television receiver. The present invention may enable two viewers watching independent video contents on a television receiver to independently control their own viewing experience of channel, volume, and the like, with minimal interaction required between the two viewers to coordinate their activities. According to an exemplary aspect of the present invention, a television system may include a television receiver for displaying a main window and a secondary window on a screen of the television receiver. The main window shows first video content, and the secondary window shows second video content. The television system may further include a first remote control device for controlling the first video content and a second remote control device for controlling the second video content. Both remote control devices are communicatively coupled to the television receiver.
