| 20080289887 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REDUCING VIBRATIONAL EFFECTS ON A FORCE-BASED TOUCH PANEL - A system and method for reducing vibrational effects on a force-based touch panel is disclosed. The system comprises at least one force sensor operable with the force-based touch panel to measure a force applied to the touch panel to provide at least one force sensor signal. An accelerometer operable with the force-based touch panel is used to sense a vibrational acceleration of the force-based touch panel to form an acceleration signal. The vibrational acceleration adds a vibration induced signal to the at least one force sensor signal. An adaptive vibration filter is used to adaptively filter the vibration induced signal from the at least one force sensor signal by adjusting filter characteristics of the adaptive vibration filter to remove substantially all of the vibration induced signal from the at least one force sensor signal. | 11-27-2008 |

| 20110277736 | Projectile Launching Device - A projectile launcher includes an acceleration rail with an accelerator mounted on opposite sides of the rail. Each accelerator includes an elastomeric energy generator having an end that is held stationary, while another end is connected to a string. This string then passes over a series of pulleys and crosses over the rail into the other accelerator. Thus, both accelerators act on the same string. In operation, as the string is pulled back and engaged with the projectile on the acceleration rail, the elastomeric drives are stretched. Also, each series of pulleys effectively causes a velocity multiplication that enhances the momentum of the projectile when it is launched. | 11-17-2011 |
