摘要： This is directed to systems and methods for detecting the insertion of a plug in a device port without physically contacting the plug. For example, systems and methods are provided for detecting the insertion of an audio plug into an audio jack without using physical contacts placed in the periphery of the audio jack. In some embodiments, an electrically conductive element (e.g., a circuit board trace) can be provided on a surface of the port or within the port wall. When a metallic or conductive plug is inserted into the port, the plug can interact with the conductive element and cause a change in capacitance or induction detected by appropriate circuitry coupled to the conductive element. In some embodiments, an optical sensor can be used to detect a plug placed in a port. In some embodiments, the electronic device can detect distinguishable attributes associated with the contact between the electrical contact of plug and port contacts using an appropriate sensor (e.g., a microphone or an accelerometer).

摘要： Integrated touch sensor and solar panel stack-up configurations that may be used on portable devices, particularly handheld portable devices such as a media player or phone are disclosed. The solar cell stack-up configurations may include one or more touch sensor layers and one or more solar cell layers. By integrating both the touch sensors and the solar cell layers into the same stack-up, surface area on the portable device may be conserved. The solar panel may be mounted face down or otherwise obstructed by a touch sensor or other component. In this configuration, the device may include light channels that allow light into the device and direct the light around the component and to the solar panel. A parabolic reflector may be used to direct the light.

摘要： An embodiment of the invention creates contact deformations in objects by combining two deformations. A collider contacting an object defines a primary deformation that modifies at least a portion of the object in contact with the collider. A secondary deformation based at least in part on user-provided parameters is added in the vicinity of the primary deformation to deform nearby portions of the objects that are not in contact with the collider, providing an aesthetic contact effect. A secondary deformation specification defines the general shape of the secondary deformation. The secondary deformation specification is associated with a location based on the location of the primary deformation. In an embodiment, the modification of the object due to the secondary deformation specification is modulated by attributes of the collision points, the primary deformation, user-specified weightings, and/or weight maps.

摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for thermally managing electronic devices using dynamic optical components are provided. At least one of the reflectance and the transmittance of incident electromagnetic radiation of a dynamic optical component on an electronic device may be adjusted based on a detected variable device characteristic of the device, such as a temperature of a device component. By adjusting the reflectance and/or the transmittance of the dynamic optical component, different portions of the incident electromagnetic radiation may be directed from the dynamic optical component for changing the variable device characteristic.

摘要： To prevent foreign particles from adhering to an external surface of an electronic device and adversely affecting a user's enjoyment of the device, and to remove adhered foreign particles, a source of mechanical waves can be incorporated within the device. The source can provide mechanical waves tuned to prevent foreign particles from adhering, or to remove foreign particles adhered to the external surface of the device, for example by increasing the contact angle between the foreign particles and the outer component. In some cases, the electronic device can dynamically tune, modify, or adjust emitted waves to direct foreign particles towards particular regions of the device, or to provide waves better adapted at removing different types of particles. In some embodiments, the electronic device can include a reservoir for receiving and holding foreign particles until they are removed from the device.

摘要： Systems and methods for simulating ballistic motion on an animated object by continuously defining rest poses of the animation object in a motion simulator. Tetrahedral finite element simulation may be used with control mechanisms that target the simulation pose towards the animation. A simulation mesh is generated for two or more animated poses based on a first simulation mesh corresponding to a first pose of the animated object. The simulation meshes of the two or more animated poses are provided to a simulator for use by the simulator such that in the absence of external force and acceleration the simulator output approximates the animated poses. Embodiments of the present invention are particularly useful for fleshy, blobby animation objects such as human characters, although the techniques can be used for other objects having different characteristics.
