  • Patent number: 10417939
    Abstract: An erasable loop scheduler for use with a calendar system is disclosed. The erasable loop scheduler may have a board and a loop system. The board has a first and second side, each having a viewing pane that displays a different portion of the loop system. The loop system includes a grid system that can be configured like a calendar. The calendar system allows recurring appointments to be recorded from a previous calendar and stored adjacent to the erasable loop scheduler. The erasable loop scheduler allows a user to write out a full month of dates and appointments on the first side of the board and another full month of dates and appointments on the second side of the board. Once a row of events has passed, the loop system can be advanced, at which point the row of past events moves to the second side of the board.

Once a row of events has passed, the loop system can be advanced, at which point the row of past events moves to the second side of the board. The user may then erase that row of events and replace with upcoming dates and appointments. Alternatively, the user may keep the row of events for future reference.

  • Patent number: 5793918
    Abstract: This invention is a three-dimensional display apparatus that has the electromechanical ability to form a display into a relief of a video image. The physical formation of the display updates about 1/24th of a second for real time motion in sync with the video image. The displayed relief image is shown in true three-dimensional space that a user sees and feels. This is accomplished by a plurality of optic fiber bundles that have distal ends and proximal ends, the distal ends radiate outwardly from an image projector carrying a light image. An optic fiber adjustment assembly controllably moves the distal ends of the optic fibers away from and toward the image projector thus forming a moving three-dimensional relief image. A sensor determines the position of each of the distal ends of the optic fibers and then sends the position information to a computer. As the images shown by the projector change, a lookup table tells the computer to signal the optic fibers and move them in sync with the new projected images.
