Title: System And Method For Autonomous Interaction Among Neighbouring Sensors In A Network Of Sensors
Inventor: WERENKA LEON K
IPC: G08C21/00
Filed: 2006-08-31
Abstract: Sensors in a network each have a geographical location and they each periodically broadcast this information to all the sensors in the network. Each receiving sensors then builds a list of sensors (neighbour list) that are closest to that sensor by computing the distance between itself and the other sensors. This list can then be used along with a decision algorithm to decide whether that sensor should act or perform a command when it receives a message from other sensors. In one embodiment, a sensor can use the neighbour list to command a specific other sensor(s) to perform a specific function.

Title: Integrated Projection Device
Inventor: LUTHRA ANIRUDH
IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2006-09-21
Abstract: A display apparatus for projecting light onto a screen medium to present an image to a user, including an illumination source that is split into a number of substantially equal sub-beams. Each sub-beam is directed onto one of an array of individual beam modulation devices. The devices are arranged such that their combined output is a composite image, with overlapping sections, formed on a projection screen. By utilizing a common illumination source, the size, complexity, cost and mass of the projection system may be minimised. The minimisation in size enables the outputs from the different projectors to all be sited closely together, and each output may be sited close to the ideal projector location enabling a composite image with low seam visibility to be produced by the projection system.
