Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a device includes control logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in hardware, to process motion data, the motion data collected from a first accelerometer in a base unit and from a second accelerometer in a display panel attached to a base unit of a mobile device, to determine whether the display panel moves relative to the base unit and to temporarily ignore or disable one or more input devices of the mobile device for a predetermined period of time to avoid unintentional user interaction with the mobile device during the movement of the display panel.
Abstract:
A keyboard or keyboard unit comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, and a front edge. An array of keys is disposed on the upper surface. One or more control buttons are disposed on the front edge, wherein the control buttons are configurable to provide a first functionality such as mouse button functionality. A user is able to depress the one or more control buttons by moving a thumb in a direction generally perpendicular to the front edge. The keyboard is able to couple with a display unit to provide a tablet form factor wherein the one or more control buttons are accessible in the tablet form factor. The control buttons are configurable to provide a first functionality such as a mouse button for a notebook form factor, and to provide a second functionality such as controls suitable for a tablet for a tablet form factor.
Abstract:
A virtual multi-touch input device uses an optical camera system and a processor to detect locations and motions of objects in a virtual working area and to transfer information about the locations and motions of the objects to a host device, such as a personal computer (PC) or a cellular phone. When the user's finger or objects touch a region of interest lit by a flat fan beam of light, the lit portions of the finger or objects are imaged by the optical camera system and the processor processes the images to obtain the locations of the finger or objects. Based on the motions or a movement pattern (gesture) of the finger or objects, the processor produces the multi-touch information for controlling a computing device and associated displays.
Abstract:
In a PWM signal generation method of a voltage regulator, an output sense signal, a first ramp signal and a second ramp signal are provided. A first time point of the first ramp signal crossing with the output sense signal is used to determine a start point of an ON-time of a PWM signal, and a second time point of the second ramp signal crossing with the output sense signal is used to determine an end point of the ON-time of the PWM signal. Moreover, the first ramp signal is reset to a reference voltage at the first time point and then maintained at the reference voltage, and further ramps down starting from the end point of the ON-time. The second ramp signal ramps up starting from the start point of the ON-time, and then is reset to a preset voltage at the second time point.
Abstract:
An automatic liquid supply system includes an assembly of a storage component and a pump device operable to allow liquid flow out of the storage component, an installation component for installing the assembly, an RFID tag that records an authentication code and that is disposed on the assembly, a storage unit storing qualified authentication codes, a transmission unit controlling the pump device, and a control unit. The control unit controls the transmission unit to activate the pump device to allow the liquid flow when the control unit determines that the authentication code matches one of the qualified authentication codes.
Abstract:
The invention provides a oriented white polyester film, which includes at least one polyester film with a cavitation additive, wherein the cavitation additive includes poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylamide), a copolymer of sulfophthalate salt and nylon, polyarylate (PAR), ethylene methacrylate (EMA), ethylene methacrylate acrylic acid terpolymer (EMAAA), polyetherimide (PEI), metallocene catalyzed cyclic olefin copolymer (mCOC) or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
A method for merging separated pixel blocks into an integral image of an object is provided. The method performs binary image processing on an obtained image to obtain a binary image, finds pixel blocks in the binary image whose area is greater than a first preset value, and stores a position and a size of each found pixel block in a data structure. The method further merges two pixel blocks in the data structure if a distance between the two pixel blocks is less than a second preset value, so as to generate the integral image of the object.
Abstract:
A server communicates with at least one client. If the server wants to transmit streaming media to a client, the client sends a package to the server. The package indicates if the client can decode the streaming media. If the client can decode the streaming media, the server decodes the streaming media and outputs the decoded streaming media on a display of the server. The server sends the streaming media to the client. The client decodes the streaming media and outputs the decoded streaming media on a display of the client. If the client cannot decode the streaming media, the server obtains the streaming media on the desktop of the server and compresses the streaming media to a compressed file. The client receives the compressed file from the server, and decompresses the compressed file. The decompressed files are output on the display of the client.
Abstract:
An exemplary method for improving voltage identification (VID) transient response is adapted to a voltage regulator and includes steps of: continuously sensing an inductor current of the voltage regulator to thereby output a current sense signal; during a steady state operation period, sampling the current sense signal to thereby obtain a sampling result for providing a droop control signal; after entering a VID transient period from the steady state operation period, holding the sampling result for providing the droop control signal; and taking the droop control signal as a consideration factor of producing a pulse width modulation signal to regulate an output voltage of the voltage regulator.
Abstract:
A method searches product information in TV programs with product placements using an electronic device. The electronic device encloses presented products of the TV program in a graphic box, and defines keywords related to the presented products. During the TV program broadcasts, the electronic device receives a selection operation on a product displayed on a display device, and uses a search engine to search for related information of the selected product according to keywords. The searched information is displayed on the display device for users to browse.
