摘要:
A connector (30) can include a housing (32), a plurality of magnets (14) within the housing used for data transfer and at least one alignment magnet (16 or 18) within the housing used for proper alignment and polarity. The connector can also include at least one magnetic induction circuit (52) coupled to at least one of the plurality of magnets. The plurality of magnets can include a plurality of inductor elements or micro-metric inductor elements. The magnetic induction circuit can be a magnetic induction circuit using Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying modulation. A connector (64) can further include an inductive coil (67) operating at a lower frequency than the at least one magnetic induction circuit. The inductive coil can enable contactless energy transfer from the connector to an energy storage device (69) operatively coupled to an electronic product (62).
摘要:
An imaging device (100) having an imaging system (102) that optically detects movement of an appendage (104), and a processor (200) that automatically translates the movement of the appendage to alphanumeric symbols (400) or graphical user interface navigation commands. The processor can automatically implement the alphanumeric symbols or navigation commands in an application (208). In addition, the processor can automatically identify a second alphanumeric symbol (502) that has a high statistical probability of following a first alphanumeric symbol (500). The processor also can detect a speed at which the appendage is moved and generate a motion parameter correlating to the detected speed. The processor can process the motion parameter to automatically translate the movement of the appendage. The processor can correlate the motion parameter to a user interface scroll speed.
摘要:
A power management scheme for use in a wireless device reduces the power consumption of the network interface module of the wireless device by selectively putting the network interface module into a low-power state for an idle time. The length of the idle time is calculated such that the amount of delayed traffic data accumulated is expected to be less than or equal to a pre-selected threshold when the network interface module is put in the low-power state for the calculated idle time. The amount of delayed traffic data as a function of the idle time is modeled using average inter-arrival and service rates that are derived from traffic statistics data.
摘要:
A removable data storage (100), for example a universal serial bus (USB) flash drive, that includes a data store (205), a user interface (110), and at least one logic device (220). In response to a correct personal identification number (PIN) being entered via the user interface, the logic device can permit access to data contained on the data store from a second device to which the removable data storage is connected. The user interface can include a display (135), such as a segmented display, and at least one button (125,130) which, when depressed, cycles through a plurality of user selectable characters (140) that are sequentially presented on the display. The user interface also can include a status indicator (115) that indicates for which of a plurality of sequential PIN character positions a character is being entered.
