20080242136 | AIRTIGHT ELECTRICAL SOCKET - A water and/or airtight electrical socket for portable electronic devices includes sealing elements that are shaped like an arc, and arranged to seal only a portion of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface. When this arc element experiences pressure, it will mechanically relay the force caused by the pressure only to that section of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface that it is arranged to seal. It will not relay mechanical forces any further. This way, the mechanical effect of any extra asymmetric pressure will simply be limited to increasing the pressure of the seal in the perimeter section of that particular sealing element, thereby tightening the seal further still. This allows the socket opening to be sealed in a water- and/or airtight manner even in asymmetric pressure conditions, both when there is no plug in the socket and also when a plug is inside the socket. | 10-02-2008 |

20100020102 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR BROWSING INFORMATION ON A DISPLAY - In one embodiment, a method for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display is provided. The method includes (1) setting the orientation of the display surface in relation to the virtual surface, said orientation being in a spatial initial state, so that a reference line perpendicular to and extending from a first reference point on the display surface hits the page containing information at a predefined point, (2) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, (3) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing said information; and (4) showing on the display a portion of the page around the hit point | 01-28-2010 |
20100125818 | METHOD, DEVICE AND PROGRAM FOR BROWSING INFORMATION ON A DISPLAY - In one embodiment, a method and program for browsing information on a hand-held device having a display is provided. The device includes (1) showing on the display a portion of the page residing around the predefined point and having a shape similar to the shape of the display, (2) generating a mirror line by mirroring the reference line in relation to a line that is perpendicular to the display surface and travels via the reference point in response to tilting of the hand-held device in relation to the spatial initial state, (3) defining a hit point (xn,yn) where the mirror line hits the virtual surface and the page containing information, and (4) showing on the display at least a portion of the page around the hit point, said portion to have a shape similar to the shape of the display, the position of the hit point on the page to correspond to the position of the reference point on the display. | 05-20-2010 |
