| 20080297487 | DISPLAY INTEGRATED PHOTODIODE MATRIX - The use of one or more proximity sensors alone or in combination with one or more touch sensors in a multi-touch panel to detect the presence of a finger, body part or other object and control or trigger one or more functions in accordance with an “image” of touch provided by the sensor outputs is disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more infrared (IR) proximity sensors can be driven with a specific stimulation frequency and emit IR light from one or more areas, which can in some embodiments correspond to “pixel” locations. The reflected IR signal, if any, can be demodulated using synchronous demodulation. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100060592 | Data Transmission and Reception Using Optical In-LCD Sensing - Data transmission and reception through optical in-LCD sensing panels is provided. The transmission/reception can be a communication in which data is transmitted by displaying, on display pixels of the panel, a communication image encoding the data, and data is received by capturing, with EM sensors embedded in the panel, a communication image encoding the data that is displayed in proximity to the panel. The transmission/reception can be a scan in which a motion of a handheld device is determined by scanning a surface with the EM sensors at different times and comparing the corresponding scan images to obtain the motion of the device. A control signal based on the motion of the handheld device can be transmitted to an external device, for example, to control a mouse cursor. In another example, scan images can be combined based on the motion to generate a combined scan image of a surface. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110057842 | OVERSIZED ANTENNA FLEX - This is directed to an antenna for use in an electronic device. The antenna can be constructed from a flex and printed trace, such that the flex is originally defined to be as large or nearly as large as possible to fit within portion of the electronic device dedicated to the antenna. This can allow the antenna trace to vary as the antenna is tuned without requiring a new flex having a different shape. In addition, this can allow the antenna design to be decoupled from the mechanical considerations related to mounting the antenna within the electronic device. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110059348 | HANDHELD DEVICE ASSEMBLY - This is directed to several handheld device components to be placed in a handheld device, as well as methods or systems for mounting or retaining components within the device. In particular, this is directed to a rigid shield used in an SMT process and securing connected flex connectors by adhering the flexes together. This is also directed to using foam in combination with a hard material to create an acoustic seal, or several layers of foam to create an acoustic and mechanical seal. This is also directed to selectively folding a sheet of material placed around a battery cell. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20100073328 | ANISOTROPIC OPTICAL COVER FOR TOUCH PANEL DISPLAY - A touch panel display configured to improve touch panel detection for sensor panels embedded in display modules. Touch panel detection can be improved by arranging an optically anisotropic cover over a display module within which an optical sensor panel is embedded. Since the optically anisotropic cover comprises light-guiding channels through which light is guided by total internal reflection, the cover can effectively shift the sensor plane from an outer surface of the cover, near the location of an object to be detected, to an inner surface of the cover, near the location of the sensor panel. In additional, the optically anisotropic cover can effectively shift the image plane from the inner surface of the cover, near the display module, to the outer surface of the cover, near the viewing surface. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20100321305 | DRIVING AN OLED DISPLAY STRUCTURE INTEGRATED WITH A TOUCH SENSOR CONFIGURATION - Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided of driving an OLED display structure integrated with a touch sensor configuration. | 12-23-2010 |

| 20090295030 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STRETCHING AND CRYSTALLIZING THE NECK FINISH OF A MOLDED PLASTIC ARTICLE - Apparatus and method for making a molded plastic article having a stretched and crystallized neck finish. In one embodiment, a series of platforms are carried by a conveying apparatus for transporting a series of molded plastic articles along a predetermined path of travel through one or more treatment stations. At a finish widening station, the molded article, having a relatively wide and thin-walled blow-molded body portion, and a relatively narrow and thick-walled unexpanded neck finish portion, is positioned to enable insertion of a mandrel into an open top aperture of the finish portion to widen the finish. The mandrel may include a lower heated tapered portion for expanding the finish, and an upper cooled body portion on which the expanded finish may be cooled. The article may then be sent to a finish crystallizing station having a heating device that heats the widened finish portion for a time and temperature selected to crystallize at least a portion of the widened finish. A sizing mechanism positionable in the widened finish supports the finish during crystallization. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100109181 | CONTROLLING DELIVERY OF POLYMER MATERIAL IN A SEQUENTIAL INJECTION MOLDING PROCESS - Method and apparatus for controlling the delivery of polymer material in a sequential injection molding process. In one embodiment, the method provides: delivering a first shot of a first material simultaneously to a plurality of mold cavities; independently sensing for each cavity a property that is indicative of a volume or flow of material that is delivered to the corresponding cavity during the step of delivering the first shot; independently stopping the step of delivering the first shot to one or more cavities according to a program that uses as a variable a signal indicative of the property sensed for the corresponding cavity during delivery of the first shot; and delivering a second shot of a second material simultaneously to the cavities subsequent to the step of stopping the step of delivering the first shot. | 05-06-2010 |
