Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for predicting the subject, logistics, and resources of associated with a communication event. Predictions and suggestions can occur prior to, during, or in response to communication events. The user can confirm the prediction or suggestion via user input such as a click or a voice command. The system can analyze past behavior patterns with respect to the subject, logistics and resources of communication events, followed by preparing ranked listings of which subjects, logistics, and resources are most likely to be used in a given situation. The predicted logistics may then include people to invite, time and date of the meeting, its duration, location, and anything else useful in helping potential participants gather together. The resources may include files attached, files used, communication event minutes, recordings made, Internet browsers and other programs which may be utilized by the user.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the invention provides a multi-color illuminating back light structure comprising a light guide, a reflector, at least one LED and a wavelength converter material. Micro-structures are formed on a first surface of the light guide. The reflector is attached to the first surface of the light guide. A wavelength converter material is deposited on a second surface of the light guide. At least one LED is optically coupled to at least one side of the light guide. A portion of light reflected from the micro-structures and the reflector is converted into light having at least one wavelength different from the wavelength of the reflected light. The light leaving the wavelength converter material comprises light with at least first and second wavelengths.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a security device is disclosed. The device includes 1) a lighting fixture; 2) a number of lighting elements, mounted to the lighting fixture; and 3) a control circuit, programmed to vary the luminosity and duration of the drive currents provided to each of the number of lighting elements, in accord with an algorithm embedded in the control circuit.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system has components that include A) an interface to receive a signal associated with a point-of-sale transaction, the signal further indicating coins to be given to a customer in accord with the point-of-sale transaction; B) a first dispenser to access a number of coins in accord with the signal; and C) a packager to package the accessed coins.

Abstract: Various fencing methods are now common where the structure of the fence does not readily lend itself to the attachment of a mesh fabric, such as, wire weave or chain-link. Methods and systems are provided to evasively and non-evasively attach mesh fabric to a new or existing fence structure (e.g., PVC) as, for example, a connector for an existing fence or as a fence-connector combination for new fence installations. As a benefit, such methods and system allow fencing structures used to contain large animals (e.g., rail fencing), such as horses, to have a wire or other fabric attached to contain, for example, smaller animals and children.
