| 20090169293 | MOUNTING DEVICE FOR ATTACHING AN ELEMENT TO A TUBULAR MEMBER - A mounting device is provided for attaching an element with a spherical connection portion to a tubular member forming part of a tool carrying structure. The mounting device includes a support member with a part-cylindrical inner surface for contact with a tubular member and has two parallel radially extending wall portions which form between them a radially extending opening and guide way for a clamping block. The guide way is of a rectangular shape and has the same width as the diameter of the tubular member for sidewise entry of the support member onto the tubular member. The clamping block is formed at its one end with a part-cylindrical surface for contact with the tubular member and at its opposite end with a part-spherical surface for engagement with the spherical connection portion of an element to be attached to the tubular member, and a clamping ring is pressed by screws against the spherical connection portion to frictionally lock the attached element relative to the mounting device and the entire structure. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090277660 | ELECTRIC POWER TOOL WITH SWIVELLED CABLE CONNECTION - An electric power tool having a housing, a motor, a jack for receiving a connection plug of an electric cable, and a swivel unit mounted on the housing and carrying the jack, wherein the swivel unit includes a first head mounted on the housing for rotation about a first axis, and a second head mounted on the first head for rotation about a second axis. The first and second axes form an angle between them, and provide for freedom of rotation of the jack, thereby providing for positioning of the jack and routing of a connected cable in desired directions relative to the housing. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20110000694 | TORQUE SENSING UNIT FOR A POWER TOOL AND A POWER TOOL COMPRISING SUCH A TORQUE SENSING UNIT - A torque sensing unit for a power tool arranged to generate a torque responsive signal by sensing the reaction torque transferred from a ring gear of a planetary reduction gearing to the tool housing. The torque sensing unit includes an annular torque transferring element disposed perpendicularly to the geometric axis of the ring gear and being formed with a first pair of external engagement portions for connecting the torque transferring element to the housing, a second pair of external engagement portions for connecting the torque transferring element to the ring gear, and at least one pair of weak elastically deformable zones located between the engagement portions and provided with sensors for delivering signals in response to the transferred reaction torque. | 01-06-2011 |

| 20090058824 | PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING A NEAR-INFRARED TOUCH INPUT DISPLAY - A portable communication device is equipped with a touch input display that includes a source of non-visible light integrated within touch input display and a plurality of photodetectors integrated within the touch input display, wherein the photodetectors are configured to detect non-visible light. The portable communication device is configured to detect touch of the display without additional touch-sensitive layers disposed over the display, as well as to detect touch in dark environments and/or with dark images or backgrounds on the display. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090072670 | INPUT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING USER INPUT ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - The invention relates to an input device comprising a first conductive layer, a second conductive layer, and a piezoelectric material layer arranged in between the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090207140 | IDENTIFYING AND RESPONDING TO MULTIPLE TIME-OVERLAPPING TOUCHES ON A TOUCH PANEL - An electronic device includes a touch panel interface that receives information from a touch panel indicating sensed movement between two user touch positions on the touch panel, and identifies that at least two time-overlapping touches have occurred at different positions on the touch panel in response to at least a threshold speed of the movement. The touch panel interface identifies that at least two time-overlapping touches have occurred on the touch panel in response to a speed of movement from one touch coordinate position to another exceeding the threshold speed. The touch panel interface also identifies that a single touch has occurred with subsequent sliding while pressed against the touch panel from one touch coordinate position to another in response to the movement having less than the threshold speed. Because the touch panel controller can distinguish between a single touch and at least two time-overlapping touches, it can enable a user to use various combinations of such touches to trigger different operational modes of the electronic device. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090237373 | TWO WAY TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY - A method performed by a device having a touch-sensitive display may include displaying an image on the touch-sensitive display; detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive display; determining a type of the touch; associating a location of the touch with the image displayed on the touch-sensitive display; and generating a command signal based on the type of touch and the location of the touch on the touch-sensitive display. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090256824 | POINTER DEVICE FOR CAPACITIVE SENSITIVE TOUCH SCREENS - A passive pointer device, in shape of a stylus, for being used in conjunction with a capacitance sensitive touch screen for pointing, writing, drawing or others on the touch screen. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090312051 | Mobile electronic device - In an embodiment, a mobile electronic device is provided which is equipped with one or more pressure-sensitive areas. In an embodiment, pressure or force acting on said pressure-sensitive areas is converted to an electric signal and evaluated by a control unit to control functions of the mobile electronic device. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20090322699 | MULTIPLE INPUT DETECTION FOR RESISTIVE TOUCH PANEL - A method performed by a device having a touch-sensitive panel includes detecting touch coordinates of a touch on the touch-sensitive panel and measuring a current though at least a portion of the touch-sensitive panel. The method further includes comparing the measured current with a threshold current and identifying the touch as a multiple touch based on the comparison of the measured current with a threshold current. The method may also include generating a command signal corresponding to the multiple touch. | 12-31-2009 |
