摘要:
A scoop has a bowl and a handle. The bowl has a bowl edge and a bowl width. The handle has a proximal handle edge connecting to the bowl edge. The handle has a distal handle edge opposite the proximal handle edge. The handle has a handle width. The handle has a clip with a clip base which connects the clip base to the distal handle edge. The clip protrudes from the distal handle edge toward the proximal handle edge. The clip has a free edge opposite the clip base. The handle width is from about 50% to about 100% of the bowl width.

Methods and apparatus are provided for manipulating content displayed on a touch screen utilizing a transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. A method comprises displaying content on the touch screen and obtaining one or more pressure metrics for an input gesture on the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel. Each pressure metric corresponds to pressure (or force) applied to the transparent pressure-sensing touch panel by a respective impression of the input gesture. The method further comprises adjusting the displayed content on the touch screen in response to the input gesture, wherein the displayed content is adjusted based on to the one or more pressure metrics for the input gesture.

A device (110, 151, 200) with a viewable surface (201) including a plurality of transparent pedestals (210) having a reflective material (406) disposed on its sides (408) make smudges forming thereon unnoticeable by taking advantage of optical characteristics including contrast and the user's visual acuity. The pedestals (210) generally have a width (412) of less than 50 microns, a height (414) equal to twice the width (412), and a spacing (416) between adjacent pedestals (210) equal to the width (412). The device (110, 151, 200) may be an electronic device, and more particularly a portable electronic device such as a cell phone.

Methods and apparatus are provided for a transparent and flexible pressure-sensing touch panel. The touch panel includes a flexible and substantially transparent composite layer (e.g., a plurality of conductive particles within a polymeric matrix) such that the resistivity of the composite layer is a function of applied force, and such that the touch panel may be manipulated to conform to a non-planar surface, such as a non-planar display screen.

A method is provided involving the growth of carbon nanotubes to provide giant resistance anisotropy or a low-k dielectric. The method comprises growing a plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (18) orthogonal to a first conductive layer (14). A dielectric material (22, 32, 60) is formed covering the plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures and then etched to remove a portion of the dielectric material (22, 32, 60) to expose the ends (24, 34, 68) of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). A second conductive layer (26, 36, 84) is formed over the dielectric material (22, 32, 60) to make contact with the ends (24, 34, 68) of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). One or both of the first (14) and second (26, 36, 84) layers may be patterned for accessing individual or groups of the one-dimensional nanostructures (18). In another exemplary embodiment, the one-dimensional nanostructures (18) may be removed prior to forming the second layer (84), thereby creating a high-k dielectric layer (32) between the first and second layers (14, 84).
