An open barrier frame in an inverted U-shaped configuration has an upper horizontal and two laterally spaced vertical segments. The segment has an interiorly facing indentation with a width and a thickness. A lower closure segment with lateral ends is coupled to the vertical segments. The closure segment has a generally rectangular cross sectional configuration with a vertical slot. In this manner the barrier frame creates a rectangular channel. A panel insert has a width and a thickness essentially equal to the width and thickness of the U-shaped indentation. The panel insert has an upper edge extending into the indentation of the horizontal segment. The panel has a lower edge extending into the slot of the closure segment and terminating at an intermediate elevation of the slot.

Barrier system

An open latching gate frame configured in a rectangular configuration has upper and lower horizontal segments and two laterally spaced vertical segments. Each segment has an interiorly facing indentation. A panel insert has a rectangular configuration supported by the indentations of the segments. A first and a second vertically oriented, laterally spaced post has a hollow rectangular configuration. Hinges couple the first post to an adjacent vertical segment of the gate frame and panel inset. The hinges are spring urged and functioning to reciprocate the gate frame and panel insert between open and closed orientations.

Latching gate system

Various embodiments relating to a modular marking apparatus and method are disclosed.

Modular marking apparatus and method

Various apparatus and methods relating to the use of alignment assist images and non-alignment assist images for capturing images of one or more targets are disclosed.

Alignment and non-alignment assist images

Image data processing methods, image data processing systems, and articles of manufacture are described. According to one aspect, an image data processing method includes accessing initial image data of a first image representation of a scene, selecting one of a plurality of imaging conditions, wherein the selected one of the imaging conditions is different than an initial one of the imaging conditions used to generate the initial image data, and processing the initial image data using the selected one of the imaging conditions to provide processed image data of a second image representation of the scene different from the first image representation of the scene, wherein the second image representation of the scene represents the scene as if it were captured according to the selected one of the imaging conditions.

Image data processing methods, image data processing systems, and articles of manufacture

The placement of a physical object at a location on a surface is detected. A virtual shadow for the physical object is displayed at the location on the surface.

Virtual shadow for physical object placed on surface

A method and apparatus apply an electric field across active layer, wherein active layer is configured to change from a first light attenuating state to a second lesser light attenuating state in response to the applied the electric field and wherein the second lesser light attenuating state permits light to be reflected from a light reflective face.

Active layer

A color image is displayed on a screen and a luminance image is projected onto the screen. The luminance image has a greater resolution than the color image.

Projecting a luminance image

Embodiments of an optical device including at least two transparent layers are disclosed.

Optical device

A reflective display screen comprises a first component surface responsive to absorb low level ambient light from above the screen and a second surrounding component surface responsive to light of high intensity from an image source. The first component surface is graphically formed to represent a fixed permanent image within the screen viewable only in ambient overhead lighting and without incidence of the high intensity light from the image source. Other embodiments include a method of displaying a permanent, fixed image and a method of making a display screen.

Screen having image viewable only in ambient light

In embodiments, an intensity of light is adjusted according to data indicating the states for elements.

Adjusting light intensity

A computing system responds to an event that wakes the computing system from a sleep mode. The computing system recognizes the event and responds to the event. The response includes generating an event notification message that is transmitted to an external device separate from the computing system. The transmission is performed via wireless communication. The computing system then returns to the sleep mode.

Power saving features for computing systems

Embodiments of synchronizing modification of an optical characteristic of a screen are disclosed.
