Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100184482Modular Communication Apparatus - A communication device comprises a first structural module (07-22-2010
20110043476Scrollbar and Touchpad with Tactile and/or Audible Feedback - A scrollbar or touchpad including a touch area and disposed on a flexible layer that is supported by a rigid substrate. The bottom surface of the flexible layer and the top surface of the substrate, eventually in combination with elements disposed therebetween are configured to provide a pattern of varying resistance to depression of the flexible layer. A user will feel the varying resistance to depression when moving a fingertip over the touch sensitive surface, thereby receiving tactile feedback. The elements disposed between the bottom surface of the flexible layer and the top surface of the substrate can be collapsible members such as collapsible domes or switches that produce a “click” sound when collapsing, thus providing both tactile and audible feedback to the user.02-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100045241Piezoelectric Kinetic Energy Harvester - A battery for an electronic device is contained within a first frame that is coupled to a second frame by one or more piezoelectric elements. The second frame is coupled to a device chassis by one or more additional piezoelectric elements. In response to translation and/or rotation of the electronic device, portions of forces induced by the battery mass are transferred to the piezoelectric elements. Electrical energy output by these piezoelectric elements is received in a power controller and can be applied to the battery. Additional device components can also be contained within the first frame so as to increase the total mass that induces forces applied to the piezoelectric elements.02-25-2010
