Systems and methods are provided for line of sight, hands free interaction with interactive objects within a defined space on a line of sight basis. The system can include a base station in communication with one or more interactive objects having a variety of display options. Details about the display options are stored on the system along with the location of the interactive objects and layout of the surroundings of the interactive object. Users can carry devices that are in communication with the base station and that determine the user's location and head orientation and relay that information to the base station. Using the location and orientation of the user, the location of the interactive objects and the layout information about the surrounding area, the system can determine if the user is looking directly at an interactive object and can cause the interactive object to perform an action.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating transactions between consumers and merchants on trust based credit. The systems and methods described herein enable a series of operations whereby a purchaser can initiate a transaction and instead of paying using a credit card or cash, the consumer can use trust based credit “tab” with the merchant and pay its bill at a later time. Based on this selection, a credit transaction request (identifying the consumer, the merchant and the credit amount) can be transmitted to the system server. In response, the system server can generate a report with the consumer's credit transaction history and credit profile and transmit the information back to the merchant. The merchant can elect to approve and finalize the credit transaction or decline. The consumer's transaction history can be updated with the transaction and all necessary adjustments to the consumer's credit profile can be made.

A circuit protection device includes a fuse placed in electrical communication with first and second conductors. An overvoltage protection component is placed in electrical communication with the first conductor and a third conductor. An insulative housing encloses the fuse, overvoltage protection component and portions of the first, second and third conductors. The first and second conductors include first and second terminal portions, respectively, that extend through the housing and reside at least substantially flush with an outer surface of the housing.

A distributed shared memory multiprocessor computer system is provided, which has a number of processors and is divided into partitions. Each partition has within it one or more of the processors, and may also have memory or cache and other related hardware. Although each partition works together and communicates with other partitions to share computational load, the partitions each are independently operable and execute an independent copy of the operating system. The partitions comprise additional features to enable removal of a partition from the operating computer system, and to enable insertion of hardware into the operating computer system.

A circuit protection device includes a conductive layer which is connected to first and second terminals. A spring is electrically connected to the first and second terminals. When an over-voltage or over-temperature condition occurs within a charging circuit, one or more heat generating resistive elements melts material associated with one or more of the ends of the spring thereby releasing the spring to create an open circuit.

Reactive fuses that contain reactive fuse elements for use in electrical circuits and other applications are provided. In various exemplary embodiments reactive materials and reactive foils are employed to provide a focused, localized heat source which can by used to open or sever a fuse element, or precisely join one or more metallic components. In particular, reactive material can be utilized to open a fuse element in response to the heat generated by a sustained overload current. Alternatively, reactive material may be utilized in the construction of a reactive fuse to join, for example, metallic components to a base fuse element or fuse cap.

Over-temperature protection devices, over-temperature applications on substrates, such as printed circuit boards, and over-temperature protection circuits, e.g., over-temperature protection in combination with a fuse or heater are provided. In various embodiments a shape memory alloy member is used, which can either break electrical contact with a conductor (open a circuit) or make electrical contact with a conductor (close a circuit). Upon opening a first circuit, the member can move to contact another conductor and complete a second circuit. The member can close a circuit, which is in parallel with a fused load, to provide a short circuit path that opens a fuse upon an over-temperature condition occurring, e.g., within an electrical device such as a cell phone or battery. Or, the member can be provided in parallel with a heater that energizes upon an overcurrent condition, triggering the member to open a circuit.
