Abstract: An electrosurgical system includes an electrosurgical generator (1) including at least one source of radio frequency (RF) power, and a plurality of output connections (2, 3, 4), only one of the output connections at any one time being active in that it is able to receive radio frequency power from the source. The generator (1) includes selection means adapted to change the active output connection, and a controller adapted to control the supply of radio frequency power from the source to the active output connection. The system also includes a plurality of electrosurgical assemblies, each including an electrosurgical instrument (5, 6, 7) and a cable (8, 9, 10) connecting the electrosurgical instrument to one of the output connections (2, 3, 4). The electrosurgical instruments (5, 6, 7) each include a handswitch (17, 18, 19) adapted to send a signal to the generator (1) to change the active output connection. The selection means is such that a signal sent from the handswitch (17, 18, 19) of the active instrument (5, 6, 7) can cause the generator (1) to change the active output connection to a different output connection (2, 3, 4), but a signal sent from the handswitch of an instrument other than the active instrument does not immediately cause the selection means to change the active output connection to a different output connection.

Abstract: A computing device, such as a desktop, laptop, tablet computer, a mobile device, or a computing device integrated into another device (e.g., an entertainment device for gaming, a television, an appliance, kiosk, vehicle, tool, etc.) is configured to determine user input commands from the location and/or movement of one or more objects in a space. The object(s) can be imaged using one or more optical sensors and the resulting position data can be interpreted in any number of ways to determine a command. Signal conditioning logic (or a programmable CPU) can be used to facilitate detection by performing at least some image processing in hardware before the image is provided by the imaging device, such as by a hardware-implemented ambient subtraction, infinite impulse response (IIR) or finite impulse response (FIR) filtering, background-tracker-based touch detection, or the like.

Abstract: Certain aspects and embodiments of the present invention relate to manipulating elements to control an imaging device. According to some embodiments, the imaging device includes a memory, a processor, and a photographic assembly. The photographic assembly includes sensors that can detect and image an object in a viewing area of the imaging device. One or more computer programs can be stored in the memory to determine whether identifiable elements used in the manipulation exist. Manipulations of these elements are compared to stored manipulations to locate a match. In response to locating a match, one or more functions that correspond to the manipulation can be activated on the imaging device. Examples of such functions include the zoom and focus features typically found in cameras, as well as features that are represented as “clickable” icons or other images that are superimposed on the screen of the imaging device.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) filter (11), which is particularly useful as an RF filter in Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN's). As greater demands are placed on RF systems, for example in WLAN's in order to increase channel capacity by utilizing available bandwidth, corresponding demands are placed upon performance and tolerance of components used in FR circuits. An adaptive Radio Frequency (RF) filter for filtering first and second RF signals from an OFDM encoded carrier signal is provided, the adaptive RF filter comprises: a low-pass filter (102) configured to filter first and second RF signals, one from another, so as to provide a first RF output signal; the adaptive RF filter being tunable in response to one or more input signals, the at least one input signal being derived from a comparator (37,100), which compares the first RF output signal with a desired value for said first RF output signal, and provides a connection factor for varying a characteristic of the filter (102). An advantage of the invention is that it facilitates filter of two OFDM encoded RF signals, the first typically at 8.1 MHz and the second (unwanted) at 11.9 MHz, from a base-band signal, with a noise floor level of —55 dB or better. Another advantage is that the filter is able to self calibrate and is able to take into account fluctuations which may affect performance, for example thermal drift, and automatically trim its characteristics so as to compensate for these fluctuations.

Abstract: An optical touch detection system may rely on triangulating points in a touch area based on the direction of shadows cast by an object interrupting light in the touch area. When two interruptions occur simultaneously, ghost points and true touch points triangulated from the shadows can be distinguished from one another without resort to additional light detectors. In some embodiments, a distance from a touch point to a single light detector can be determined or estimated based on a change in the length of a shadow detected by a light detector when multiple light sources are used. Based on the distance, the true touch points can be identified by comparing the distance as determined from shadow extension to a distance calculated from the triangulated location of the touch points.
