  • Determination of emotional and physiological states of a recipient of a communication
    Patent number: 7874983
    Abstract: A communication device capable of determining an emotional or physiological state of a user of the device includes an input device that provides a signal indicative of one of an emotional and a physiological state of a user of the device. A controller receives the signal from the input device and interprets the signal into state data identifying one of an emotional and a physiological state of a user of the device. The device makes the state data available to be downloaded such that a device sending a communication can appropriately adapt its communication method and transport mode of user interface to suit the recipient's condition.

  • Method and apparatus for providing streaming information to a wireless mobile wireless device
    Patent number: 7085576
    Abstract: A method and apparatus, for acquiring at least mobile wireless device direction information (132), based upon at least two different mobile wireless device time-location entries (123) of a mobile wireless device (102). This mobile wireless device direction information (132) is then used to send different segments of streaming information (121A–C) to a plurality of multi-mobile streaming information network memories (120A–C), for communication to the mobile wireless device (102). Each streaming information network memory (120A–D) is associated with a different base station (118A–D).

  • Photonic biasing and integrated solar charging networks for integrated circuits
    Publication number: 20030015728
    Abstract: A photonic biasing and solar charging network is disclosed. High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials grown over monocrystalline substrates enables the formation of solar cells, light sources and optical interconnects to be placed on the same substrate as the active device. By coupling the solar cells to the active device to provide bias voltages, transmission line effects and multiple input/output pads necessary for traditional DC biasing can be eliminated. Additionally, the photonic biasing network can be additionally utilized as a solar charging network for trickle charging batteries.
