  • Patent number: 11922514
    Abstract: A property analyzer device may include (1) a receiver configured to receive property identification information from a mobile device, the received property identification information including a picture of the property and/or a property location; (2) a retriever configured to retrieve property-related information from multiple property sources (such as public record databases, websites, or an internal company database) based upon the received property identification information; (3) a processor configured to consolidate the retrieved property-related information into a consolidated property-related image of the property; and (4) a transmitter configured to transmit the consolidated property-related image to the mobile device for review by a user.

  • Publication number: 20050178124
    Abstract: This invention, a waste heat recycling thermal power plant (1000), extracts heat from the environment, and concentrates this heat to produce a cfc super-ambient temperature heat source (1330) having a thermal potential sufficient to supply a useable heat flow to an incorporated heat engine (e.g., Rankine cycle, Stirling cycle, Seebeck cycle, etc.) flow circuit (1400). Further, waste heat recycling thermal power plant (1000) produces an sfc sub-ambient temperature heat sink (1250), thus increasing the applied thermal potential, thereby permitting the thermal efficiency of ihefc pressure expansion device (1460) to be increased as well. Lastly, waste heat recycling thermal power plant (1000) captures for reuse, much of the waste heat that its own operation liberates, thus lowering its net energy utilization per unit of mechanical power produced.

  • Publication number: 20040165006
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for an interactive media display utilize a screen that presents a content item to a viewer. The display of the content item is interactive, in that a user may remotely control the content presented on the screen, requesting or changing the displayed content item or in some way controlling the outcome of the content of the screen. The system is device agnostic, in that it operates with a wide variety of user devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) equipped for wireless data access, or other mobile devices. In addition to its device-agnostic capabilities, the present invention is display-agnostic, utilizing, for example, cathode ray tube displays, liquid crystal displays, plasma displays, organic light-emitting diode displays, electronic ink displays, and projection screen displays. In another aspect, the present invention provides methods and apparatus for the generation of an interactive media display.
