  • Publication number: 20160230784
    Abstract: Among other things, an integrated portable energy conversion mat is to be installed at a pavement surface over which a car or truck is to pass. The mat has a width at least as wide as the distance between the outermost edges of the treads of the tires located at an axle of the car or truck. The mat has a top surface over which the tires of the car or truck are to pass. The mat includes a sealed enclosed space housing and energy conversion system. The energy conversion system includes two sets of channels that extend along a length of the mat and contain hydraulic fluid under pressure. An energy converter converts energy carried by the hydraulic fluid in response to the tires of the car or truck passing over the top surface into electrical energy. An electrical port is coupled to the energy converter and exposed at an outer surface of the mat.

  • Publication number: 20160063762
    Abstract: Methods for managing content within an interactive augmented reality environment are described. An augmented reality environment may be provided to an end user of a head-mounted display device (HMD) in which content (e.g., webpages) may be displayed to the end user using one or more curved slates that are positioned on a virtual cylinder that appears body-locked to the end user. The virtual cylinder may be located around the end user with the end user positioned in the middle of the virtual cylinder such that the one or more curved slates appear to be displayed at the same distance from the end user. The position and size of each of the one or more curved slates may be controlled by the end user using head gestures and a virtual pointer projected onto the virtual cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20150288645
    Abstract: Social media messages associated with a news story item are scheduled to be published at a time relative to an expected air time of the news story in a news rundown. When the time to air of the news story item is changed, the time for publishing the social media message is changed automatically according to the updated news rundown, maintaining the relative timing. This helps news organizations manage the timing of social media messages that are related to broadcast stories, without the need to monitor a changing rundown. When social media messages published in advance of a news item broadcast engender high interest, newsroom producers may react by promoting the news item within the rundown and publishing additional teaser messages. Conversely, low reaction levels may lead to the demotion of a story, or even its elimination from the rundown.
