US Patent:
6400482, Jun 4, 2002
Filed:
Apr 14, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/291709
Inventors:
Elmer C. Lupton - Charlestown MA
Steven B. Leeb - Belmont MA
George B. Hovorka - Rockport MA
Deron Jackson - San Jose CA
Billie L. Bentzen - Berlin MA
Assignee:
Talking Lights, LLC - Boston MA
International Classification:
H04B 1010
US Classification:
359154, 359142, 359144
Abstract:
A communications network comprised of a source of information to be transmitted in the form of a signal, one or more transmitters which emit light suitable for illumination and including means for modulating the light with the information signal, a medium such as a fluid through which the light passes, and one or more receivers for receiving the light and demodulating the signal to obtain the information. A user for the information may be a device, such as a computer or a compact disk player, or it may be a person, perhaps with some form of sensory or mental impairment. The information may be encrypted, may provide directional guidance, such as to a user moving in a vehicle, and/or may be transmitted simultaneously over multiple channels. Various types of visible light assemblies may be employed, with varying power inputs and outputs.

US Patent:
6426599, Jul 30, 2002
Filed:
Jan 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/770806
Inventors:
Steven B. Leeb - Belmont MA
Assignee:
Talking Lights, LLC - Boston MA
International Classification:
H05B 3702
US Classification:
315224, 315200 R, 315307, 315360
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating electromagnetic radiation in which the radiation has both a first and second utility. The electromagnetic radiation is modulated to produce electronically detectable variations to achieve the second utility, the variations not affecting the first utility. In one embodiment, the electromagnetic radiation is visible light. In this embodiment, the first utility is illumination and the second utility is the transmission of data. In another embodiment, the invention provides a lamp for generating visible light capable of providing illumination and transmitting data to a receiver. Any variations in the visible light resulting from the data transmission are imperceptible by a human eye regardless of the nature of the data being transmitted. In yet another embodiment, a power line carrier modem may be used with the present invention to transmit information to the source.

Analog And Digital Electronic Receivers For Dual-Use Wireless Data Networks

US Patent:
6504633, Jan 7, 2003
Filed:
Apr 14, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/292126
Inventors:
George B. Hovorka - Rowley MA
Steven B. Leeb - Belmont MA
Deron Jackson - San Jose CA
Elmer C. Lupton - Boston MA
Assignee:
Talking Lights - Boston MA
International Classification:
H04B 1010
US Classification:
359142, 359141, 359172, 359152
Abstract:
Transceiver system including a transmitter and receiver. The transmitter transmits radiation having a varying operating frequency. It is preferred that the radiation be visible light. The operating frequency is varied in a way that eliminates visible flicker. A receiver receives the encoded radiation, decodes the coded data, and delivers the decoded data signal to an output stage. The output may be audio information textural information or graphical information. A two level coding scheme is preferred.

US Patent:
6954591, Oct 11, 2005
Filed:
May 31, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/161458
Inventors:
Elmer C. Lupton - Charlestown MA, US
Steven B. Leeb - Belmont MA, US
George B. Hovorka - Rockport MA, US
Deron Jackson - San Jose CA, US

International Classification:
H04B010/10
US Classification:
398115, 398106, 398127, 398112, 398172, 398185
Abstract:
Network for transmitting and using electromagnetic radiation for two or more functionally different useful purposes. Such a network may be comprised of a signal source apparatus to provide information, an electromagnetic radiation generator capable of being modulated for providing electromagnetic radiation, electronic circuitry for modulating the electromagnetic radiation generator, medium through which the electromagnetic radiation passes and is transmitted, a receiver apparatus for receiving and demodulating the modulated electromagnetic radiation, a first user means for processing and making use of the information to achieve a useful functional purpose, and second user means for achieving a useful functional purpose from said radiation said useful functional purpose being different from the purpose of said first user means.

US Patent:
7923936, Apr 12, 2011
Filed:
Jun 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/139678
Inventors:
John J. Cooley - Cambridge MA, US
Steven B. Leeb - Belmont MA, US
Leslie K. Norford - Lexington MA, US
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H05B 37/02
US Classification:
315158, 315159, 315153, 315155, 315312, 315DIG 4
Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp sensor system is provided. The fluorescent lamp sensor system includes a plurality of bulbs and a plurality of electrodes coupled to the bulbs. A balanced differential circuit measures changes in electric fields produced by the bulbs in front of the electrodes. The balanced differential circuit includes a symmetric current source associated with alternating the surface potential of the bulbs. A current mode detection circuit detects the current associated with the capacitive effects of the balanced differential circuit. A synchronous detection circuit isolates the capacitive effects of the symmetrical current source from stray signals that differ in either frequency or phase.
