A portable office having a shock resistant case within which to carry a computer workstation that includes a personal computer and one or more computer peripherals. In an as-packaged configuration, the computer workstation is detachably connected to a flat table surface that extends across the carrying case. In a detached configuration, the computer workstation is lifted off the table surface and separated from the carrying case to be transported to a remote worksite outside the confines to the carrying case. A shock isolation system suspends the computer workstation above the carrying case and absorbs potentially damaging impact forces and vibrations that are created when the carrying case is subjected to physical forces during the transit. The shock isolation system also permits the computer workstation to be operated from a moving motor vehicle.

An input device includes a housing for supporting a user's hand and a displacement sensor, mounted in the housing, for providing a displacement signal. The input device also includes a first portion of the housing operable to receive a first digit of the user and a first solid-state touch sensor disposed in the first portion and operable to detect movement of the first digit along the first portion. The input device further includes a second portion on the housing operable to receive a second digit of the user and a second solid-state touch sensor disposed in the second portion and operable to detect movement of the second digit along the second portion.

There is provided a medicament dispenser for containing plural elongate form medicament carriers, each having multiple distinct medicament dose portions carried thereby, the dispenser having a housing of generally non-circular form, and within said housing a dispensing mechanism for dispensing the distinct medicament dose portions carried by each of said plural medicament carriers. The mechanism comprises at least one receiving station for receiving each of the plural medicament carriers; a release for releasing in combination a distinct medicament dose portion from each of the plural medicament carriers on receipt thereof by said receiving station; an outlet, positioned to be in communication with the distinct medicament dose portions releasable by said release; and at least one indexer for individually indexing the distinct medicament dose portions of each of the plural medicament carriers. The dispenser contains plural elongate form medicament carriers, each having multiple distinct dose portions carried thereby. At least one of said medicament carriers has the form of a continuous loop.

Apparatuses and methods are provided for mitigating radio frequency interference and electromagnetic compatibility issues caused by the resonance of metal planes of a circuit board. A method for controlling impedance at an edge of a circuit board includes creating a cut at an edge of a plane of the circuit board. The cut extends from the edge of the plane to a point at a depth into the plane. The method can further include creating a cut pattern in the edge of the plane by repeating the cut along the edge of the plane such that an impedance of the plane at the depth is different, or lower, than an impedance of the plane at the edge of the plane. Other aspects are described.

A flexible electronic interconnect comprises a first dielectric layer including a first surface and second surface opposite the first surface; a plurality of conductors disposed on the first surface of the first dielectric layer and arranged spaced apart from each other using a conductor spacing; and a first plurality of conductive shields disposed on the second surface of the first dielectric layer and arranged spaced apart from each other using a conductive shield spacing. The first plurality of conductive shields is arranged opposite the plurality of conductors and the conductive shield spacing is arranged opposite the conductor spacing.

A method includes placing an input device in a passive mode of operation and periodically monitoring a displacement sensor of the input device, receiving an indication of displacement from the displacement sensor, and placing the input device in an active mode of operation characterized by a power consumption level. The method also includes determining a passing of a predetermined time period since receiving the indication of displacement, placing the input device in a second active mode of operation characterized by a second power consumption level less than the power consumption level, and periodically monitoring one or more of a plurality of touch sensors. The method further includes receiving an indication of input from the one or more of the plurality of touch sensors and placing the input device in the active mode of operation.

Compile-time optimized bounds checking of user-defined types is provided. A user-defined class has an annotated memory-accessing method, and an annotated bound-providing member such as an integer field containing a bound or a method that returns a bound when called. The user-defined-bounds check may supply bounds checking where the programming language has none, or it may supplement existing bounds checks, e.g., by wrapping a built-in array type or a garbage-collector-managed type. Bounds checking can be extended beyond arrays and other types whose layout is controlled by a compiler, allowing efficient systems programming in a managed code environment. A bounds-check representation is inserted by the compiler in intermediate language code. Optimization then reduces duplicative bounds checking.

An interactive user interface is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the interface includes a first field and at least one additional field. The first field lists a focal item and the at least one additional field contains a listing of items related to the focal item. Certain of the related items in the at least one additional field include a hyperlink which, when activated by the user, causes the item corresponding to the activated hyperlink to become a new focal item listed in the first field, such that the at least one additional field transitions to list items related to the new focal item. The focal item may be, for example, an identifier corresponding to a company, and the at least one additional field may contain a listing of identifiers corresponding to companies that are customers, suppliers or competitors of the focal item company.
摘要:
A container (3) has a first part (11), a second part (9) hinge (13) through which the first and second parts are hingeably connected so that the parts are hingeable relative to one another between a first position which places the container in a closed state and a second position which places the container in an open state. The first and second parts are also pivotally connected (A-A) so that the parts are able to be pivoted relative to one another to different angular positions.
