    摘要: Systems and methods are described for an integral button pivot bar. A palm sized computer that can be held in one hand and operated with a stylus held by another hand, includes: a connecting trunk; a first connecting member coupled to the connecting trunk; an independently actuatable button coupled to the first connecting member; a second connecting member coupled to the connecting trunk; a torsion bar connected to the second connecting member; and an independently actuatable rocking switch coupled to the second connecting member. The connecting trunk, the first connecting member, the independently actuatable button, the second connecting member, the torsion bar, and the independently actuatable rocking switch are all integrally formed and actuating the independently actuatable rocking switch does not affect the independently actuatable button. The systems and methods provide advantages because a user does not need to divert their attention from the tip of the stylus, or reconfigure their hand, when the actuation of one, or more, of the buttons is necessary.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for software contrast control and a portable computer implementing software contrast control. The contrast control is initiated by a single interaction with an input mechanism, for example a pressing of a dedicated contrast control button. The method can be applied more generally to viewing parameters other than contrast such as brightness, color bit depth, color versus monochrome, and screen resolution. The method includes a processor disposed in the portable computer receiving an activation signal from a button or other input mechanism, and displaying viewing parameter adjustment graphics on the image screen. The method continues with the processor receiving a viewing parameter adjustment signal and responding to the adjustment signal by adjusting the viewing parameter levels for the image screen to levels based on the adjustment graphics. The method can include activating the input mechanism by applying a single interaction to thereto prior to the receiving of the activation signal for viewing parameter control. The portable computer can include a display, a contrast control hardware button, a processor, and a memory. The viewing parameter levels vary in response to image screen drive voltages. The processor responds to input applied to the viewing parameter control graphical user interface elements by adjusting the viewing parameters. The applying of the input includes one or more of selecting and adjusting one or more of the viewing parameter control graphical user interface elements.

    摘要: GBIC frames are mounted with respect to one or another or with respect to the printed circuit board so as to facilitate space sufficiency, e.g. of a front or other panel. In one aspect two GBIC frames are mounted in back-to-back fashion on opposite surfaces of a mounting plate of preferably minimal thickness. Plate cut-outs are positioned to accommodate frame feet or other mounting structures in a fashion off-set, on opposite faces, to avoid interference between frame legs. In one aspect, portions of GBICs and frames are received in cut-out or other edges of a PCB so that GBICs in frames straddle a major surface of a PCB to reduce height for accommodating 1RU or other form factors while increasing space efficiency.
