Abstract: A method for enhancing a well-being of a small child or baby utilizes at least one TV camera positioned to observe one or more points on the child or an object associated with the child. Signals from the TV camera are outputted to a computer, which analyzes the output signals to determine a position or movement of the child or child associated object. The determined position or movement is then compared to pre-programmed criteria in the computer to determine a correlation or importance, and thereby to provide data to the child.

Abstract: This case concerns applications of my Reconfigurable Tactile Display (RTD) invention, particularly illustrating method and apparatus in which there is no rigid connection between a projector/electro-optical sensor unit, and a screen and control surface unit used to display data and receive user touch or control inputs. In many embodiments, elimination of this rigid connection constraint allows applications where heretofore it has been difficult to provide workable or useful human interface systems. One example is in the headrest of an automobile, while another is a hospital bed where the invention provides a lightweight and very easy to clean input and viewing device for the patient.

Abstract: For use in vehicles, it is desirable to have multi-functional (also known as reconfigurable) controls in the center stack portion of the instrument panel in order to best provide electronic and telematic functions to the driver. Disclosed are methods and apparatus to allow reconfiguration of classical controls such as knobs, sliders, and switches most familiar to the vast majority of the motoring public which may, if desired, utilize conventional flat panel displays (e.g., LCD based) and conventional readout electronics and switching. Also disclosed are projection based controls and new forms of rear seat entertainment controls and related apparatus for minivans and other vehicles.

Abstract: The invention is directed to shaped bone void filler pieces having defined porosity. In embodiments of the invention, the shaped bone void filler pieces are presented substantially as wedges, wafers, and axisymmetric bone void filler pieces. The bone void filler pieces further comprise surface and internal features such as recesses, channels, and/or voids. The bone void filler pieces optionally comprise demineralized bone matrix. The invention further is directed to methods of making and methods of using the bone void filler pieces. In another embodiment of the invention, the bone void filler pieces are produced using three dimensional printing methods. In yet another embodiment of the invention, the bone void filler pieces are manufactured with selected porogens integrated therein, which optionally are decomposed following production through a heat-mediated decomposition process, resulting in voids in the bone void filler spaces previously occupied by the porogen(s).

Abstract: This concerns my RTD invention disclosed in co pending applications, particularly but not necessarily for use in the “center stack” region of vehicle instrument panels. Disclosed are novel prism devices to shrink the size of the unit, while increasing resistance to vibration and condensation and providing easier assembly into the vehicle. Also disclosed are methods to improve the efficiency of such projector based systems for delivering display light to the driver of the vehicle, as well as to reduce noise caused by backscatter from the screen and control surface, or sunlight coming through the windshield. RTD versions for home or office use are also disclosed, including a “cushion computer”-like device meant primarily for use on one's lap and optionally having a reconfigurable keyboard. The device can also serve as a TV remote and perform other useful functions in the home, workplace, or car, and may serve as a useful interface accessory to expand the usability and enjoyment of mobile devices.

Abstract: Techniques for high throughput parallel separation, filtration and plate-to-plate transfer are described. Cells, proteins, chemical compounds and the like are being developed in multi-well, small volume well plates, such as 1536-well plates having wells of a volume on the order of 1 &mgr;l. A mechanism for clamping such plates together so that the wells will be aligned allows rapid separation or transfer by simply centrifuging the assembly. A membrane may be clamped between the plates. Alternatively, a membrane may replace one of the plates. Centrifuge dependent and independent designs are described.
