摘要： The invention provides for the automation of a multiple camera system based upon the location of a target object in a displayed camera image. The preferred system provides a nearly continuous display of a figure as the figure moves about throughout multiple cameras' potential fields of view. When the figure approaches the bounds of a selected camera's field of view, the system determines which other camera's potential field of view contains the figure, and adjusts that other camera's actual field of view to contain the figure. When the figure is at the bounds of the selected camera's field of view, the system automatically selects the other camera. The system also contains predictive location determination algorithms. By assessing the movement of the figure, the system selects and adjusts the next camera based upon the predicted subsequent location of the figure.

摘要： Several different methods of testing the integrity and proper operation of the drive and sense electrodes in a mutual capacitance sensing device such as a touchscreen or touchpad are disclosed herein. According to one embodiment, measured values of mutual capacitance corresponding to individual cells in a mutual capacitance sensing device are compared to one another and to predetermined thresholds. The results of the comparison are employed to determine whether any of the traces forming the electrodes in the device are defective. By way of example, traces can be defective if they are broken, too thin, too thick, or shorted together. The various embodiments of the methods disclosed herein may be used for touchscreen or touchpad quality control in a manufacturing setting, or may be used to test touchscreens or touchpads that have already been incorporated into electronic devices. The various methods disclosed herein lower manufacturing costs, increase product quality and yield, and may be carried out quickly.

摘要： A submount for an optoelectronic device includes a substrate, a first top pad on a top surface of the substrate, a first bottom pad on a bottom surface of the substrate and a first wrap-around contact in a sidewall recess of the substrate, in which the first wrap-around contact is coupled electrically to the first top pad and to the first bottom pad. Alternatively, or in addition, the submount includes a device mounting pad on the top surface of the substrate, a wire-bond pad on the top surface of the substrate, a contact pad on the bottom surface of the substrate and a feedthrough contact which extends through the substrate and electrically couples the wire-bond pad to the contact pad.
