Position information of equipment at an event, such as a ball, one or more players, or other items in a game or sporting event, is used in selecting camera, camera shot type, camera angle, audio signals, and/or other output data for providing a multimedia presentation of the event to a viewer. The position information is used to determine the desired viewer perspective. A network of feedback robotically controlled Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ), manually controlled cameras and stationary cameras work together with interpolation techniques to create a 2D video signal. The position information may also be used to access gaming rules and assist officiating of the event. The position information may be obtained through a transceiver(s), accelerometer(s), transponder(s), and/or RADAR detectable element(s) fitted into the ball, apparel or equipment of players, the players themselves, or other playing equipment associated with the game or sporting event. Other positioning methods that can be used include infrared video-based tracking systems, SONAR positioning system(s), LIDAR positioning systems, and digital signal processing (DSP) image processing techniques such as triangulation.

A method comprising displaying, on a virtual projection, at least one image of at least one product available for purchase to attract customers, the virtual projection comprising one or more displays to display the at least one image of the at least one product. The method further includes initiating a shopping session with a customer on the virtual projection whereby the customer has access to one or more products related to the virtual projection. The shopping session transfers to and continues on a secondary device whereby the at least one image of the at least one product is accessed on the secondary device. The method further includes initiating a customization mode to allow a customer to customize properties of one or more of the images of products.

A robust, wireless sensor system providing a low cost method of tracking people such as sex offenders, child molesters, etc., after their release from prison or other confinement, which protects society from such individuals and lessens their ability to repeat such offenses. The system and method of the invention can also be used to locate kidnapped persons, people buried in snow avalanches, missing or dead soldiers, etc. The system utilizes RFID tags placed on people or in specified locations and RFID transmitters that can resonate with the tagged people or objects. Such a trigger recognition arrangement combined with communication of information from the triggering can be used to obtain a signal alerting the transmitter carrier that the tagged object or person is nearby. The triggering action can also initiate a sequence of information transfers in which the transmitter broadcasts to a central command that a particular transmitter is or was in proximity to a specific object or person, and allows the command center to order the dispatch of authorized personnel, such as policemen, military personnel, emergency rescue workers, etc. to the triggering location.

A method and apparatus for wireless data transmission is provided between a base station and a backscatter-based transponder, in which the transponder generates a presence signal after initialization or at predetermined time intervals, independent of data transmitted by the base station. The presence signal is generated by phase modulation and backscattering of a carrier signal transmitted by the base station.

Provided are a system and method for guiding a visitor using a sensor network. The system includes: an entry approval requesting unit for requesting an entry approval of the visitor to the visitee terminal according to destination information; a route setting unit for setting a route along which the visitor terminal is to move to the destination, based on the destination information of the visitor, according to an entry approval result of the visitee terminal; a location detecting unit for detecting a current location of the visitor terminal based on identification information of the visitor terminal and location information of the sensor node, the identification information and the location information being obtained through the sensor network on the route; and a location confirming unit for confirming if the detected current location of the visitor terminal is out of a preset area.

An attachment system is formed by a primary device and a secondary device connected to the primary device in a pivoting manner. The primary device has a main body, two lateral sides and a bar for attaching the primary device to another object. Each of the lateral sides has a protrusion extending laterally outward from the lateral sides. The secondary device has two lateral sides, each equipped with an aperture that corresponds to one of the protrusions on the primary device, so that fitting the protrusions into the apertures pivotally connects the primary device to the secondary device, with the lateral sides of the secondary device being disposed outside of the lateral sides of the primary device. The secondary device can be pivoted between a folded position where the secondary device lies against the primary device, and an open position where the secondary device is raised up.

The invention relates to an induction hob comprising: a hob plate (2); two or more induction coils (3) arranged below the hob plate in order to form heating zones (4) at the hob plate (2); one or more pot detection sensors (5), the pot detection sensors (5) being at least partially placed between a pair of adjacent induction coils (3); wherein the pot detection sensor (5) is a strip-shaped sensor extending in a space between said pair of adjacent induction coils (3) and the pot detection sensor (5) is coupled with an evaluation unit adapted to determine information regarding the coverage of the pot detection sensor (5).

A mobile communication system including a fixed station, a detection unit, and mobile terminals, which provides a wireless communication for the mobile terminals. The detection unit detects a utilization condition indicative of a state where the mobile terminals are being used. The fixed station contains a storage unit that stores a utilization-admission condition indicative of a state where said mobile terminals are permitted to be used, and a processing unit for executing communications with the mobile terminals. The processing unit therefore halts communications with the mobile terminals in accordance with the utilization condition and utilization-admission condition.
