  • Patent number: 11238382
    Abstract: A system comprising a database storing schedule information associated with different meeting spaces, at least a first threshold display located proximate at least a first meeting space, an employee tracking system, a processor programmed to perform the steps of receiving employee tracking information including locations and identities, determining the relative juxtapositions of employees with respect to the first threshold display, identifying content to be presented on the first threshold display based on identity of a first employee, a distance between the first employee and the display and the schedule information.

  • Patent number: 11100282
    Abstract: A system for use with different space types, each space type including emissive surfaces, each emissive surface controllable to present content within the space, the system comprising a database that includes a separate template for each space type, each template indicating surfaces associated with the space type, relative juxtapositions of the surfaces in the space and content types to be presented in each surface, a processor programmed to allow a user to select a space type, identify an associated space type template, identifying content types for each surface and storing the received content in a session specification for subsequent access.

  • Patent number: 6449722
    Abstract: A wireless device is provided with a plurality of connectivity options that enable it to connect to a carrier via alternative connectivity routes thereby providing access to value-added services and other information over plurality of connectivity routes. A user of the wireless device may select alternative connectivities when available based on dollar expense, available bandwidth, reliability, latency, or other considerations. Volume data delivery may be deferred until a more suitable connectivity route is established. With each change of connectivity the wireless device should reauthenticate itself. Reauthentication can be simplified by employing the previously authenticated route and leveraging the original authentication.

  • Patent number: 6154819
    Abstract: An apparatus for protecting memory blocks in a block-based flash Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM) device is disclosed. A non-volatile memory array includes a number of blocks that are capable of being placed in a locked state or an unlocked state. A volatile lock register and transmits a write protect signal and a volatile lock-down register are coupled to a lockable block in the volatile memory array. A hardware override line is coupled to both the lock register and the lock-down register. The hardware override line temporarily overrides operation of the lock-down register when it transmits a signal at a first logic state. The lock down register may be used to prevent programming of an associated lock register. The lock registers and lock down registers may be embodied in static access memory (SRAM) circuits.
