| 20100124735 | HAND-HELD PERSONAL PLANETARIUM - Method and apparatus are provided for a hand-held planetarium which displays a sky pattern comprising graphical representations of one or more celestial objects. A sensing system comprising one or more sensors provides information about an orientation of the device. A controller receives the information about the orientation of the device from the sensing system and determines therefrom an altitude angle of a pointing axis and an azimuthal angle of the pointing axis. The controller accesses a database of celestial objects and determines, from within the database, one or more selected celestial objects for display based at least in part on a measure of proximity of the celestial objects to the pointing axis. Graphical representations of the one or more selected celestial objects are displayed on a display screen. The planetarium may switch between a normal orientation mode and a downward facing orientation mode. | 05-20-2010 |

| 20100060571 | KVM SWITCH USING A TOUCH SCREEN - A KVM switch system having a touch screen for interacting with multiple computers is disclosed. The KVM switch processes coordinate data from the touch screen and transfers the processed data to the controlled computer either as absolute mouse coordinate data or as relative mouse coordinate data depending on the operating system (Windows, Mac OS, SUN, etc.) and mouse data interface (USB, PS/2, etc.) used by the computer. Thus, the touch screen can interact with all computers connected to the KVM switch, achieving a multi-platform and multi-interface application without requiring device drivers on the computers. The KVM switch stores necessary parameters for each computer so that when switching from one computer port to another, or when the display resolution of the computer changes, processing of the touch screen data is automatically adjusted accordingly. The touch screen also works within the OSD of the KVM switch. | 03-11-2010 |
