摘要:
Systems and methods for shipping a package from a package sender to an intended recipient, utilizing Internet communications to place shipping orders, request on demand package pickup, maintain and utilize pre-stored profile information, view shipping history, track orders, etc. A package sender with an Internet-accessible computer accesses an Internet site and associated shipping system operated by a shipping service provider. The package sender enters information required for shipping the package, including shipping options and methods for payment, and the shipment transaction is validated. If the transaction is validated, printer indicia are communicated to the customer's computer, which is enabled to locally print a prepaid label containing special machine-readable as well as human-readable indicia. The shipping service provider acquires the package by drop-off, standard pickup or on call pickup, scans the machine readable indicia, verifies other indicia of authenticity, and processes the package in accordance with information encoded on the label.

A system and methods for shipping a package (12) from a package sender (16) to an intended recipient (18), utilizing Internet communications (30) to place shipping orders, request on demand package pickup, maintain and utilize prestored profile information, view shipping history, track orders, etc. A package sender (16) with an Internet-accessible computer (20) accesses an Internet site and associated shipping system (10) operated by a shipping service provider (14). The package sender (16) enters information required for shipping the package (12), including shipping options and methods for payment. The options and payment for the shipment transaction are validated. If the transaction is validated, printer indicia are communicated to the customer's computer (20), which is enabled to locally print a prepaid label (25) containing special machine-readable (876) as well as human-readable indicia (904). The shipping service provider (14) acquires the package by drop-off, standard pickup or on call pickup, scans the machine readable indicia, verifies other indicia of authenticity, and processes the package (12) in accordance with information encoded on the label.

An autostereoscopic steering light-guide three-dimensional display. The display includes a light modulator, a light guide in light-transmitting orientation to the light modulator, a light source in light-transmitting orientation to the light guide, and a control element adjacent the light guide. The control element is responsive to a first command to cause the light guide to steer light from the light source in a first direction through the light modulator and responsive to a second command to cause the light guide to steer light from the light source in a second direction through the light modulator.

The projection system comprising a dichroic filtering device (204), optically between a polarizing beam splitter (203) adapted to split light from a light source (201) into light beams of desired polarisation, and a plurality of reflective display devices (205,206) adapted to receive a respective light beam from the dichroic filtering device (204) and direct it back thereto to provide a combined light beam which is re-incident on the polarizing beam splitter (203) whereby to seek to obviate undesired polarized light being projected. A broadband light source provides a light with a spectrum divisible into multiple color components, namely three primary color components: red, green and blue.
摘要:
A Global System for Mobile (GSM) cellular system transceiver with time division duplexed operations for receiving a data signal, monitoring received signal strength and transmitting a data signal during a single time frame. Multiple data registers are used to store the phase lock loop (PLL) frequency control data, e.g., during the last time slot (slot 7) of the prior time frame (or elsewhere in the prior time frame where time permits). Also during slot 7 of the prior time frame, the PLL is programmed using the first data set for the data reception operation to be performed during one or more of the initial time slots (e.g., time slots 0-3) of the present time frame. During the next time slot (e.g., slot 4), the PLL is programmed using the second data set for the signal strength monitoring operation to be performed during that same time slot. During the next time slot (e.g., slot 5), the PLL is programmed using the third data set for the data transmission operation to be performed beginning in that same time slot. By prestoring all three PLL frequency control data sets, such data sets are immediately available when later programming the PLL, thereby reducing the PLL setup time needed prior to each use. Consequently, an integer PLL can be used instead of a fractional PLL while still achieving a sufficiently fast combined setup and lock time, thereby minimizing integrated circuit area and power requirements.
