  • Systems and methods for short range RF communication
    Patent number: 8259753
    Abstract: A method transmitting a message over at least one of a plurality of channels of a communications network is provided. The method comprises the steps of detecting a presence of jamming pulses in the at least one of the plurality of channels. The characteristics of the jamming pulses in the at least one of the plurality of channels is determined wherein the determined characteristics define at least interstices between the jamming pulses. The message is transmitted over the at least one of the plurality of channels wherein the message is transmitted within the interstices of the jamming pulse determined from the step of determining characteristics of the jamming pulses.

  • WEARABLE PERSONAL VIDEO/AUDIO DEVICE METHOD AND SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20100020229
    Abstract: A system for capture and transmission of video and audio data includes multiple input devices, each designed to be worn by a user. The input devices capture video and audio signals corresponding to views available at the location of each user and transmit the information to a remote system. The remote system uses the video and audio signals to create enhanced views. These enhanced views may be transmitted to other input devices.
