  • Patent number: 10062102
    Abstract: A method, system and computer readable medium are capable of identifying information to display. The method includes identifying a location of a display device. The method includes identifying, in response to a user input, places within a predetermined distance of the location of the display device. The method includes identifying current information about items or services available at the identified places. The method includes displaying, on the display device, the current information about the items or services available at the identified places within the predetermined distance of the display device.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6053462
    Abstract: A supporting frame structure is formed by two oppositely disposed and substantially identically shaped halves made of a bendable elastic material. Each half is made of a foil (1). The foil (1) contains about in the middle a round or square opening (2) and on one side an incision in the shape of a cutting line (3). The cutting line (3) extends radially from the edge of the foil to the opening (2). The two foils (1), disposed opposite to each other in parallel planes, are deformed by rotation of the cutting edges by about 90.degree. out of the original foil plane in the direction of their counterpart. Subsequently, the in each case oppositely disposed cutting edges are connected to each other providing for a common, stable, and support-providing frame structure based on a mutually suspending winding tension of the two structure halves.

  • Patent number: 5988834
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lamp comprising a lamp body formed by one single device component. The device component is formed of a foil made of a bendable, elastic material. The foil exhibits a bending line near a center of the foil. The foil contains an opening for receiving the illuminating device and/or current-carrying parts. The foil is formed to a curved, central wave fold by exerting a light pressure from two sides toward the center of the foil based on the bendable and elastic properties of the foil. The curved, central wave fold ends at said bending line. The foil assumes a cap-like spatial structure based on a partial deformation along the bending line caused by the light pressure. The cap-like or hood-like foil can be then easily fixed in this spatial structure by means of a suitable tightening, clamping, or locking device. The entire lamp body is stable and fixed in this spatial structure.
