Abstract: A camera-based monitoring system is provided that that, upon generation of an alert or notification, can provide a video clip formed from multiple frames or images to the notification system of a user-accessible monitoring device, such as a cell phone, to make it easy detect an object that is moving in the camera's field of view. Since the human eye is extremely sensitive to motion, the “triggering object” whose activities triggered image acquisition can be identified more easily, rapidly, and reliably from the video clip than from a still image. In addition to including the camera and detector(s), the system may include a base station and a controller.

Abstract: A method and a smart security camera system are provided for automatically adjusting an activity zone relative to a field of view of a security system imaging device such as video camera. The activity zone is within an initial field of view of the imaging device's camera and includes a monitored area of interest. An image of the activity zone is compared with an image of the updated field of view to determine a position of the activity zone relative to the area of interest in the updated field of view. The activity zone is automatically moved in the updated field of view to the determined position, if necessary. The activity zone thus is shifted a necessary within the updated field of view to encompass the area of interest.

Abstract: A sanitizing system is disclosed. In various embodiments, the sanitizing system includes a sanitizing apparatus, the sanitizing apparatus including an ultraviolent light source and a processor configured to control operation of the ultraviolet light source based on one or more user inputs received by the processor; and a remote device configured to transmit the one or more user inputs to the processor.

Abstract: A lighting device formed of a FIPEL panel driven by electrical connection. For example, a frequency generator can create a frequency that creates a light output having any frequency in the spectrum. The light emitting panel can be flexible, and can be coded along a curved surface, such as the inner surface of a light bulb.

Abstract: A FIPEL device used as an illuminating part for a display.

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.

Abstract: A display system, with a structural part, including a rear panel, and a light emitting device physically attached to the rear panel over a surface of the rear panel, where the surface of the rear panel comprises the entire surface to be illuminated by the light emitting device and a pixelated spatial light modulator part, coupled between the light emitting device, and a viewing area, modulating a light created by said light emitting device.

Abstract: A television formed of a FIPEL panel that creates light in both front and rear directions. The television system has a light modulator and a backlight layer for the light modulator. The backlight layer emits light both toward the light modulator to create a television display, and away from the light modulator to create a backlight for the television. The television can be in a housing, with a transparent back. The housing can also have a bezel that can be lit by the backlight layer.

Abstract: A lighting device for use in creating light, e.g., for replacing a light bulb. The device is in a bulb shaped housing, having an element emitting light. That element can be a FIPEL element. The device has a signal generator, outputting a signal having a frequency. The element has a light emitting layer that receives the signal from the signal generator, and outputs light of a wavelength that is dependent on said frequency emitted by said signal generator. A sensor senses ambient light adjacent said housing, and adjusts said signal generator based on said ambient light that is sensed. This maintains a constant ambient light level and color temperature as observed by a user as the actual ambient light levels vary over time.

Abstract: A display system, having an emissive body, emitting light over a complete surface as part of a display system. The emissive body can be a FIPEL type device with a first transparent conductive coating over a light emitting substrate. A transparent substrate, has first and second surfaces, with the first surface coupled to the first transparent conductive coating, and the second surface of said transparent substrate including a surface formed with plural light channeling structures thereon.

Abstract: A display system, having an emissive body, varying light emitted from the surface in a way that each area becomes a pixel. The emissive body can be a FIPEL type device. Light can be both color varied and also color temperature controlled. The light color is changed by changing a frequency used to drive the body. Multiplexers can be used to reduce the number of generators needed.

Abstract: A display system, having an emissive body, varying light emitted from the surface so that different temporally adjacent time periods see the emissive body outputting different primary colors. A liquid crystal display can then modulate the different primary colors that have been output at different times. In one embodiment, the different times modulate red green and blue colors. In another embodiment, the different times modulate red green blue and white colors. The emissive body can be a FIPEL type device. Light can be both color varied and also color temperature controlled. The light color is changed by changing a frequency used to drive the body.
