Abstract: A handheld computer includes a processor; a memory in communication with the processor; and at least one light-emitting device that emits visible light as a visual indicator of an occurrence of a designated event. The processor is programmed to selectively activate the visual indicator in response to an occurrence of a designated event to provide the visual indicator to a user of the handheld computer. The processor is programmed to monitor for occurrence of two or more different types of designated events. The processor varies the visual indicator based on the type of the event for which occurrence is being signaled by that visual indicator, such that a different visual indicator is associated with each type of event for which the processor is programmed to monitor.

Abstract: A method at the transmission and reception of electromagnetically generated and received pulses of ultrasound, especially at non-destructive testing of electrically conductive material.The method comprises the steps of in a transmitter generating a first magnetic field by means of a first coil and a magnet core and supplying a transmitter coil located in the first magnetic field with a transmission pulse of ultrasonic frequency, and in a receiver generating a second magnetic field by means of a second coil and magnet core and by means of a receiver coil located in the second magnetic field receiving a signal originating from said transmitted pulse. When testing in this way nonmagnetic material, the signal/noise ratio is low. The noise partially originates from generated ultrasound affecting the transmitter and receiver magnets.According to the invention, a first transmission pulse is caused to be transmitted and received while the current in said first coil (1) and said second coil (2) has the same or different direction, whereafter the received signal is stored in a memory (8) intended therefor, whereafter a second transmission pulse is caused to be transmitted and received while the current in said first coil (1) or said second coil (2) has reversed direction compared with the condition when the first transmission pulse was transmitted and received, whereafter the difference between the signal last received and said stored signal is formed.By the present invention, after said difference has been formed a signal substantially free of interference is received.The invention further comprises a device for carrying out said method.

Abstract: An apparatus and method thereof wherein a portable computer system or personal digital assistant generates a visual signal in response to an occurrence of a programmed event. For example, the portable computer system can use a light emitting diode to visually signal an alarm at a specified time. The visual signal can be varied in order to indicate the type of event associated with the alarm. In one implementation, the visual signal blinks at a particular rate depending on the type of event. In another implementation, the visual signal blinks a prescribed number of times or according to a particular pattern depending on the type of event. When enabled, the visual signal is generated in lieu of an audible signal, thus providing to the user a silent alarm that does not disturb other people in proximity, such as in a meeting, a theater, or some other gathering.
