At least one temporary visible reference line is projected onto a target surface, as for example, an athletic field, by several laser sources. A first laser source emits optical energy—at a wavelength of between 380 nm and 750 nm—along at least a first selectable path upon the target surface so as to form a temporary line thereon. A second laser source disposed at a second elevated, stationary location relative to the target surface different from the first stationary location emits optical energy along at least a second selectable path upon the target surface so as to form a temporary line thereon. In some instances, each laser light source may be capable of traversing the entire width of the target surface, in which case each laser source covers a discrete region. In other cases, respective laser sources arranged on opposite laterals sides of the target surface can be included so that segments contiguous with those projected by a corresponding one of the first and second laser sources can be generated to form a temporary line that does traverse the entire width of the target surface.

A stand allows a user to quickly and easily set the angular orientation of a telephone or other piece of equipment relative to a support surface (e. g. a desktop). The stand is fastened to, and removed from, the equipment without the use of tools by a magnetic attraction. The stand allows a user to tilt the equipment at one of two user-selected angles, to improve access to keys of the equipment and/or to reduce glare on the equipment's display. The display may also be tiltable. The stand provides for at least two course angle adjustments of the tilt of the equipment by the selected orientation of the stand and/or the selected attachment position of the stand relative to the equipment.

A speakerphone system includes first and second speakerphones connected via a network and a first processor in the first speakerphone and a second processor in the second speakerphone, each of the speakerphones having a first, active, mode for participating in a call with a telephone and a second, idle, mode, wherein, when the first speakerphone is operating in the first mode and the second speakerphone is operating in the second mode, the first speakerphone is adapted to send voice data packets to the second speakerphone, the second speakerphone is adapted to receive voice data packets from the first speakerphone, perform echo cancellation processing on the voice data packets and send the processed voice data packets back to the first speakerphone, and the first speakerphone is adapted to receive the processed voice data packets from the second speakerphone and use the processed voice data packets in the call.

A method and an apparatus are disclosed that enable the offloading of some of the signal processing that has often been centralized in a telecommunications network, to one or more telecommunications endpoints. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment of the present invention, a packet-based telecommunications endpoint that comprises processing and memory resources determines the resource availability of one or more of its resources. The endpoint transmits the resource availability information to a data-processing system, which then transmits a signal-processing computer program back to the endpoint. The computer program is based on the resources that are available at the endpoint. The endpoint then proceeds to use the computer program to process the signals that are received-for example, during the course of a phone call that involves the endpoint. The signal processing that is performed can include noise reduction, echo cancellation, muting, automatic gain control, and so forth.

The use of detected non-verbal communications cues, and summaries thereof, are used to provide audible, textual and/or graphical input to listeners who for any reason do not have the benefit of being able to see the non-verbal communications cues, or speakers about mannerisms or other non-verbal signals they are sending to other parties. This includes cues that are given while speaking or listening. The detection of one or more of an emotion and gesture could also trigger a dynamic behavior. For example, certain emotions and gestures could be characterized as “key emotions” or “key gestures” and a particular action associated with the detection of one of these “key emotions” or “key gestures.”

To assess the effectiveness of advertising campaigns and channels, a portable user appliance is provided to each of a plurality of panel members. Each device includes a scanning module for scanning and storing a UPC code for each product purchased by a corresponding panel member, a processor, a memory, a user-interface, and a communication interface operative to transfer information stored in memory to a central facility. Each device further includes a microphone and is operative to monitor an audio portion of at least one of a radio broadcast and a television broadcast. UPC codes and information corresponding to purchases made by each respective panel member are received from the portable user appliances, as are transmissions from which the identities of advertisements included in monitored audio portions can be determined. This information, along with information collected from the personal computers used by the panel members to view web pages and make online purchases, is associated with the demographic profile and/or identity of each corresponding panelist.
