Interactive Audiovisual Control Mechanism
view source
US Patent:

50653458, Nov 12, 1991
Filed:

Aug 21, 1990
Appl. No.:

7/570961
Inventors:

Lance Knowles - San Francisco CA
Douglas Crane - Portola Valley CA
Assignee:

DynEd International, Inc. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:

G06F 1518
G09B 704
US Classification:

395154
Abstract:

An Interactive Audiovisual Control Mechanism (IACM) which, by exploiting recent advances in CD technology which permit rapid random access of discrete audio information (such as an individual sound or utterance), provides for the first time an interactive computer system in which large amounts of high quality audio and video are presented to the user simultaneously. In the preferred embodiment, this is accomplished via random access to both CD/ROM and VD devices, wherein individual visual frames of the VD are displayed on the system's display monitor for specified periods of time while discrete sounds and utterances from the CD/ROM are played through the system's speaker. Audio from the VD and computer's CPU may also be accessed at the same time, as well as computer graphic still images and animation (due to a well-known "GENLOCK" device). A "Control Bar" mechanism provides the user with a consistent user interface which insulates the user from the various sources of this audiovisual information, enabling the user to concentrate on the information itself, not the technology used to present that information. In conjunction with the Control Bar is a "Shuffler" mechanism that provides the user with much of the system's appearance of intelligence.

US Patent:

20210376217, Dec 2, 2021
Filed:

Jul 26, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/385241
Inventors:

- Altadena CA, US
Douglas Crane - El Cerrito CA, US
Assignee:

DTP Thermoelectrics LLC - Altadena CA
International Classification:

H01L 35/32
Abstract:

Provided herein is a thermoelectric element that includes a cold end, a hot end, and a p-type or n-type material having a length between the hot end and the cold end. The p-type or n-type material has an intrinsic Seebeck coefficient (S), an electrical resistivity (ρ), and a thermal conductivity (λ). Each of two or more of S, ρ, and λ generally increases along the length from the cold end to the hot end. The thermoelectric element may be provided in single-stage thermoelectric devices providing enhanced maximum temperature differences. The single-stage thermoelectric devices maybe combined with one another to provide multi-stage thermoelectric devices with even further enhanced maximum temperature differences.

US Patent:

20210302075, Sep 30, 2021
Filed:

Jun 14, 2021
Appl. No.:

17/347275
Inventors:

- Altadena CA, US
Douglas Crane - El Cerrito CA, US
Assignee:

DTP Thermoelectrics LLC - Altadena CA
International Classification:

F25B 21/04
H01L 35/32
Abstract:

Thermoelectric systems employing distributed transport properties to increase cooling and heating performance are provided herein. In some examples, a thermoelectric heat pump is provided that includes a distributed transport properties (DTP) thermoelectric (TE) couple including at least one DTP TE element. The at least one DTP TE element includes a TE material with a Seebeck coefficient, thermal conductivity, or electrical resistance varying within said DTP TE element such that when that DTP TE element is subjected to a fixed temperature differential and no current is flowing in a primary direction that produces heat pumping action, at least at one position within that DTP TE element there is a current that in steady state operation produces a lower temperature than the temperature at that position when no current is flowing.

Dollar-Coin Push Would Be Blow To Crane &Amp; Co.

Dollar-coin push would be blow to Crane & Co.

Such a swap would hamper, not help, Dalton-based Crane & Co., which has been providing the paper for U.S. currency since 1879, and has been its sole supplier since 1964, according to the companys vice president. About 40 percent of the currency paper that Crane manufactures is made for the $1 notes, according to company vice president Douglas Crane.Douglas Crane said the GAO report has "a lot of interesting points in it," but said that the 41-page analysis also concludes that the net present value of coin production and processing is $3.5 billion more expensive than it is for paper. The GEO estimates that it would require three coins to replac"The other three times when they started looking at this, no one wanted to touch it," Douglas Crane said. "The truth is coins and notes are like apples and oranges. [The government] has an overwhelming preference for bank notes because theyre more user friendly."
