  • Patent number: 11971549
    Abstract: Very high refractive index (n>2.2) lightguide substrates enable the production of 70° field of view eyepieces with all three color primaries in a single eyepiece layer. Disclosed herein are viewing optics assembly architectures that make use of such eyepieces to reduce size and cost, simplifying manufacturing and assembly, and better-accommodating novel microdisplay designs.

  • Patent number: 11955116
    Abstract: Content is organized for brands by selecting a plurality of brand templates. After each selection, a set of properties is generated by applying a portion of settings of the respective brand template, with the remaining settings being overridden with settings for a channel communicating one of a plurality of presentations to a node of a network involved in the communication. The plurality of presentations may include different renditions of the same content. The properties may include sections configured for different focus areas and/or types of content associated with at tags to enable brand-level-targeting. Filters may be identified in the properties. Based on each of the identifications, a property from among the generated sets of properties may be selected based on comparisons with the associated tags.

  • Patent number: 11124990
    Abstract: A deadbolt lock assembly including a retractable and extendable deadbolt, a housing, an outside member movably mounted on the housing and being normally disconnected from the deadbolt, and an operator input device on the housing, with the operator input device connecting the member to the deadbolt in response to presentation of an appropriate credential, such that a force applied to the member by the operator is mechanically transmitted to the deadbolt to move the deadbolt.

  • Publication number: 20090160606
    Abstract: A lock system (10) includes a lock adjustable between locked and unlocked configurations and at least one and preferably two input devices (30, 22) each configured to generate or/and receive user input, each input having a value. A controller (16) is operatively with the lock, coupled with the input device(s) (22, 30) to receive user input, and has memory with at least first and second data files, the first file having at least one stored value. The controller (16) is configured to receive first and second user inputs, to compare the first input value with the first file(s) value, and to store a particular second input value within the second data file when the particular first input value correspond with at least one value in the first file, thus enrolling the user. Thereafter, the lock is preferably unlocked using only the second user input, which is carried by a key unit or a user physical feature.

  • Patent number: 5382952
    Abstract: A transponder for use in an object identification system including an interrogator which transmits a continuous interrogation signal and detects a responsive identification signal transmitted by the transponder. The transponder receives and detects the interrogation signal and, in response to receipt of the interrogation signal, produces a repeating identification signal having a fixed number of binary bits consisting of an identification data portion of a specified number of consecutive bits less than one half of the fixed number of bits, and a synchronization pattern of consecutive bits consisting of first, second and third bits of alternating binary values, a consecutive sequence of a plurality of bits which are all of the same binary value as the second bit, and a single bit of the same binary value as the first and third bits. The identification signal is modulated onto a carrier signal and transmitted.
