摘要:
A method and system for coupling to a palmtop computer that supports both mobile computing and desktop use. A palmtop computer docking system is disclosed that includes a cable assembly and a base. The cable assembly includes a cable dock that is connected to a serial connector via an electrical cable. The cable dock includes a connector receptacle that mates with a corresponding connector on a palmtop computer. The cable assembly is adapted to engage the base so as to produce a fully functional docking cradle. In operation, once the cable assembly is engaged with the base, the serial connector is then coupled to the desired computing device (typically either a portable computer or a full-size computer). The resulting docking cradle facilitates desktop use such as, for example, communication with a full size computer. The cable assembly can be removed from the base and can be used independently of the base for mobile computing.
摘要:
A method for software control using a user-interactive display screen feature is disclosed that reduces stylus or other manipulations necessary to invoke software functionality from the display screen. According to the method, a graphical feature having a surface area is displayed on a touch-sensitive screen. The touch-sensitive screen is coupled to at least one processor and the graphical feature is generated by an operating system and uniquely associated with a particular software program by the operating system. To control software executing on the processor, a user-supplied writing on the surface area is received and the software is controlled responsive to the writing. In alternate embodiments, the method further controls data stored in a memory device responsive to the writing or further controls transmission of data from a radiation emitter, which may be coupled to voice and data networks.

An embodiment includes a power management method for regulating power to a handheld computer. A source voltage is received from a battery module. The source voltage is regulated to power a plurality of internal components, including a processor and a memory. If the source voltage is detected to be less than a designated threshold, the plurality of internal components powered by the source voltage are reduced to allow a charge of the battery module to increase in absence of an external charge.

A flossing tool having a handle and a head. The head includes a first peg, a second peg, a third peg and a fourth peg. Each of the pegs include a channel circumferentially formed where the respective peg meets the head. A user attaches floss to the flossing tool by wrapping floss around the first peg then around the second peg then around the third peg and then around the fourth peg.

A handheld computer system includes a housing, a processor coupled to the housing, a stylus coupled to the housing, and a light source coupled to the housing. The light source lights up the stylus.
摘要:
A handheld computer comprises a rechargeable battery module that outputs a source voltage to power one or more components of the handheld computer. The handheld computer includes a power monitoring module that receives the source voltage and outputs a rail voltage. The power monitoring module outputs the rail voltage to correspond to a fractional duty cycle of the source voltage when the source voltage is greater than a designated voltage. The power monitoring module outputs the rail voltage to correspond to a full duty cycle of the source voltage when the source voltage is less than the designated voltage. The handheld computer includes a power rail coupled to the power monitoring module. The power rail receives the rail voltage so as to extend power from the battery module to the one or more components of the handheld computer.
