Abstract: Advertisements or commercials are integrated into an entertainment program or display by designating locations or fields in the entertainment program or display into which targeted advertisements or commercials may in inserted and/or modified, so that the advertisements blend into the scene in which they are inserted without disrupting the entertainment program or display.

Abstract: This invention provides a three-dimensional luminescent display, comprising: a first substrate, a second substrate, a plurality of light emitting devices provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a plurality of lenticular lenses to show 3D image. Each light emitting device comprises a pixel and has a square shape, and the pixels are provided to form an N by M matrix (N and M are integers) and have a pitch of Xp inch (distance between two neighboring pixels along either the N direction or the M direction). The lenticular lenses form a linear array and the pitch of the lenticular lenses is Plens per inch (lines per inch; LPI). The light emitting devices are provided at the focal plane of the lenticular lenses. Moreover, Xp and Plens satisfy the following equation: 3*k*Xp*Plens=1 in which k is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Abstract: The invention provides a brightness enhancement print medium and a brightness enhanced print with optical structures to create a print showing lenticular effects, such as 3D, flip, and animation effects with high image quality and excellent visibility. The brightness enhanced print with optical structures according to the invention comprises a substrate, an optical layer, a print layer, and a reflective layer.

Abstract: This invention provides a laminate with optical structure and method for using the same. The laminate according to the invention can produce various two-dimensional (2D) or three-dimensional (3D) effects, such as flip, animation, morph, zoom, and 3D effects, by laminating with a specially computer treated image. The objective of this invention is to solve the alignment problem between the optical structure and the image during lamination. By using the laminate from the invention, it is possible to easily align the optical structure with the image to economically obtain an object with 2D animation or 3D effect without using expansive printing equipment.

Abstract: The present invention disclose a composite structure for light diffusion, including at least one carrier media layer and a microlens system comprising a plurality of microlenses thereon. A transparent material for enlarging the shape is coated on each microlens to cover the gaps between the microlens. Partial surface of the transparent material can be coated a light absorbing layer for glare reduction. Besides, the microlens can be or asymmetric or arranged in random, non-periodic array for interference reduction.

Abstract: An induction motor for the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is integrated with a wheel system or brake system of a transportation apparatus, ane especially human powered apparatus.

Abstract: An induction motor which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, provides useful mechanical work. The induction motor includes closely spaced electrical coils fixed on the vehicle structure which straddles a segmented core block that can be used as part of a driving device, wheel system, or brake system of a transportation vehicle in a human powered apparatus, thus reducing the weight of the vehicle and increasing mileage per “re-fueling” or “re-charging”.
