A self-optimizing energy harvester comprises a thermoelectric generator coupling to a thermal source, producing a source voltage greater than a minimum start-up voltage, where the thermoelectric generator drives a boost circuit and a feedforward circuit, delivering power to a load. A conventional boost circuit has a maximum output power only at the input voltage for which a fixed set point resistor is chosen. The feedforward circuit dynamically optimizes the boost circuit according to a dynamic set point resistance, thus increasing output power for a wide range of input voltages, relative to using a fixed reference resistor. The dynamic set point resistance is the sum of a variable resistance and a reference resistance. A sample element forms a differential voltage between the source and input voltage elements, and the variable resistance corresponds to the differential voltage. A reference resistor is chosen to establish the minimum start-up voltage.

A remote projector and administration control method and apparatus enables the integration of presentation projector resources in an networked enterprise environment. A projector server computer connected to the network hosts one or more presentation data/video projectors. Alternatively, a network enabled projector functions as both the projector server host and projector. Residing on the projector server host are a repository for storing presentation data and user profiles, a projector server and three interfaces: a projector interface to communicate with the hosted projector, a host discovery interface to discover other projector server hosts or network enabled projectors on the network, and a host interface to interact with the identified hosts using the facilities of the remote projector and administration method and apparatus. The host discovery interface discovers the identity of other active projector servers or network enabled projectors on the network. The host interface enables clients to get or set information controlling the identified active projector servers or network enabled projectors, including administering the security, operation, and maintenance of the projectors.

A network projector interface system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes client software stored on a recordable medium and at least partially executable on a client computer on a network, where the client software provides a client interface configured to aid a user in directing a presentation file to a selected network projector. The system also includes presentation manager software stored on a recordable medium executable on the network, where the presentation manager software produces a presentation manager configured to manage storage and access to the presentation file, and a network projector coupled to a projector computer, where the projector computer is coupled to the network and communicates with the presentation manager to display the presentation file on the selected network projector.

The present application relates to systems, apparatus and methods for transmitting image data from a content source to an image display in a dual mode system which includes a guest mode and an authorized user mode. One example embodiment comprises establishing a secure connection to a network requiring access credentials, detecting a content source, establishing a non-secure connection to receive image data from the content source, receiving the image data from the content source, and providing the image data to a display, wherein the content source is not provided access over the secure connection.
