Abstract: Contextual information is used in determining how to deliver a message to a user. Instead of displaying a message at a predetermined location or following a predefined routing list to deliver a message to a user, contextual information associated with the user is used in delivering the message. Different message types may be used to deliver the message. The message type that is selected for the delivery of the message may be based on different criteria (e.g. device receiving the message, priority of the message, and the like). In cases where a user does not respond to an important message within a specified time period, other messages using the same or different message types may be delivered to the user or other user(s) until a response is received.

Abstract: A laser intensity monitoring and control apparatus and method. One or more laser diodes emit laser light at an intensity depending upon a supplied drive current. A collimating lens collimates the emitted laser light. An aperture clips portions of the collimated laser light striking the aperture outside the predetermined beam contour and reflects part or all of the clipped portion of the collimated laser light to a focusing lens. A monitoring detector senses the focused laser light and generates an electrical signal depending on the intensity of the focused laser light, wherein a feedback circuit monitors the electrical signal and adjusts the drive current of the laser diode as necessary to maintain a predetermined laser light intensity. A ROS scanner optics system receives and images the beam contour.

Abstract: A direct ocular virtual 3D workspace (laser-based 3D display system) utilizes traditional binocular methods of image composition to produce a 3D workspace in the observers' psyche. This direct ocular virtual 3D workspace is implemented such that in moving environments, such as on a ship or vehicle, the immersion of the individual into the display environment will not result in vertigo and/or motion sickness. This is resolved by utilizing a system that accomplishes eye-tracking, and produces the display image within the eye by means of laser projection. Two images can thus be projected into an individual's eyes to produce a 3D holographic-like image space. The individual will still maintain partial vision, resulting in a holographic-like display in space that the observer can look through. The images provided to multiple collaborators/users are geometrically corrected for each collaborator.
