Patent number: 6552899Abstract: This is a body-supported computer that has safeguards against the heated computer housing injuring the user. A grille that is heat insulating is used on at least one outer surface of the housing. This grille, together with heat dissipating housing materials, keeps the temperature of the body-supported computer and its housing within tolerable limits.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 22, 2003Assignee: Xybernaut Corp.Inventors: Peter A.

Publication number: 20020030649Abstract: A color active matrix display system allows random access of pixel electrodes. The control electronics is fabricated with the active matrix circuitry using single crystal silicon technology. The control electronics includes a random access data scanner and random access spec scanners. By selectively actuating pixel electrodes in the active matrix display region, compressed video information can be directly displayed on the active matrix display panel. Color stripes are used to generate sequential color systems to produce a color image from the active matrix display panel.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2001Publication date: March 14, 2002Applicant: Kopin CorporationInventors: Matthew Zavracky, Wen-Foo Chern, Ronald Gale, Peter A.
