Abstract:
Embodiments include an apparatus, a medical device, a method and a system. The medical device includes an ellipsoidally shaped reflector having a first focus and a second focus. The ellipsoidally shaped reflector also provides a translational coupling of electromagnetic energy from the first focus to the second focus. The medical device also includes a controllable electromagnetic energy source aligned to emit a non-biologically emitted electromagnetic energy in a proximity to the first focus.

Abstract:
Embodiments including methods and apparatuses for displaying an image including generating a first modulated and scanned excitation beam; generating a second modulated and scanned excitation beam; impinging the first and second modulated and scanned excitation beams onto a photoluminescent screen; and responsively converting the wavelengths of the first and second excitation beams into different corresponding third and fourth visible wavelength photoluminescent emissions, wherein the first modulated and scanned excitation beam is substantially prevented from stimulating photoluminescent emissions at the fourth visible wavelength and the second modulated and scanned excitation beam is substantially prevented from stimulating photoluminescent emissions at the third visible wavelength.
Abstract:
A classification method and system for possible content alteration of a media work may include criteria regarding content that is feasible for alteration. Such criteria may be maintained in records that are accessible to an interested party. Some embodiments may include a record of primary authorization rights applicable to a possible content alteration. A further embodiment feature may include a record of secondary authorization rights applicable to substitute altered content incorporated in a derivative version. Various techniques may be used to incorporate substitute altered content in a derivative version of the media work in accordance with applicable substitution guidelines.
Abstract:
A method and system are described for obtaining a relation between a visual display and an advertisement-adverse-content indication or for indicating a linkage between a local delivery of mobile-device content and a commercial purpose. The method and system may also relate to invoking circuitry for signaling whether to cause one or more cognitive symbols substantially to vanish from the visual display responsive to the obtained relation between the visual display and the advertisement-adverse-content indication, circuitry for responding locally to the indicated linkage between the local delivery of mobile-device content and the commercial purpose, or circuitry for signaling whether to transmit a message outside the visible-display zone responsive to the obtained relation between the visible-display zone and the advertisement-adverse-content indication.

Abstract:
A method and system are described for generating a pattern indicating at least medical information related to an individual's body; and invoking circuitry for displaying at least the generated pattern on one or more surfaces on the individual's body.
Abstract:
Lumen-traveling biological interface devices and associated methods and systems are described. Lumen-traveling biological interface devices capable of traveling within a body lumen may include a propelling mechanism to produce movement of the lumen-traveling device within the lumen, electrodes or other electromagnetic transducers for detecting biological signals and electrodes, coils or other electromagnetic transducers for delivering electromagnetic stimuli to stimulus responsive tissues. Lumen-traveling biological interface devices may also include additional components such as sensors, an active portion, and/or control circuitry.
Abstract:
Lumen-traveling devices capable of controlled material release and associated methods and systems are described. Lumen-traveling devices capable of traveling within a body lumen may include a propelling mechanism to produce movement of the lumen-traveling device within the lumen, as well as additional components such as a sensor, a material release portion, and/or control circuitry. In some embodiments, a sensor may be used to detect a local condition, and a material may be released from the device in response.
