Abstract: A door status monitoring system includes a switch modulator coupled to a door and a control unit in communication with first and second display elements. A first position switch sends a first signal to the control unit when the switch modulator is proximate to the first position switch when the door is in a closed position. A second position switch sends a second signal to the control unit when the switch modulator is proximate to the second position switch when the door is in an open position. The control unit is configured to maintain the first and second display elements in a deactivated state in response to receiving the first signal, activate the first display element when the control unit is not receiving the first and second signals, and activate the second display element and deactivate the first display element in response to receiving the second signal.

Abstract: A door status monitoring system may include a control unit in communication with a first and a second display element. A switch modulator may be coupled to a door. The switch modulator may be proximate to a first position switch when the door is in the closed position that may send a first signal to a control unit, and the control unit may maintain the first and second display elements in a deactivated state in response to receiving the first signal. The switch modulator may be proximate to a second position switch when the door is in the open position that may send a second signal to the control unit. The control unit may activate the first display element when it is not receiving the first and second signals, and the control unit, in response to receiving the second signal, may activate the second display element and deactivate the first display element.

Abstract: Aspects of embodiments of at least one of the inventions disclosed herein include a system and method for delivering content within a network of interactive televisions. In accordance with one embodiment of at least one of the inventions disclosed herein, the system distributes media content, such as video and music, across a communications network comprising at least one server and at least one client device. Users of the system utilize a client device to access the media content, to view a preview or a description of the media content, and to purchase the media content. The client device receives the media content from the server, and the client device stores the media content within a storage device on the client device. The client device employs interface devices to facilitate user interaction with the system. The server records the purchase of media content and other activities and preferences of the user of the client device.

Abstract: Display apparatus comprises a display screen (400) and a drive circuit (401) connected to the display screen (400) to generate an image on the display screen (400) in response to an input video signal (R,G,B). A timer (405) generates a count in response to a clock signal. A detector (403,404,402) also receives the input video signal and resets the timer (405) on detection of a change in image content between successive frames of the input video signal (R,G,B). Control means (402) is connected to the timer (405) and to the drive circuit (401) for at least partially disabling the drive circuit (401) in response to the count stored in the timer (405) exceeding a predetermined threshold.
