Abstract: An apparatus including a housing; electronics in the housing; and a user input configured to allow a user to input information into the apparatus. The user input includes a touch panel on the housing. The user input is connected to the electronics and is configured to distinguish between first and second different levels of touch pressure by a user. The user input is configured to display a keyboard keys graphic. The apparatus is configured such that the first level of touch pressure at a first location of the touch panel is determined to correspond to selecting one of the keys of the graphic by the user as first information. The second level of touch pressure at the first location is determined to correspond to second information which does not correspond to selecting one of the keys of the graphic by the user.

Abstract: A motion encoder for use with a rotating key. The motion encoder allows the direction of rotation to be determined by providing elements having different characteristics for the transmission of a IR beam. These elements are arranged in a pattern that allows an IR beam impinging on the elements to trace a path detected as the rotating key turns. The beam being detected after changes in the reflected or transmitted beam indicating the direction of rotation of the beam.
