20110023615 | Rock Drill Testing Apparatus and Method - An apparatus for testing a rock drill has a base structure, a displaceable structure movable toward and away from the base and a fluid pumping mechanism carried on one of the structures to be driven by the rotation of the rock drill. The air leg of the rock drill is deemed either operational or in need of repair based on whether attempted extension of the leg is sufficient move the displaceable structure away from the base. A control mechanism in a fluid passage fed by the pump output is closable so that a pressure builds up in the passage under operation of the pump. Successful of unsuccessful buildup of the pressure to a sufficient level reflecting good rotational operation of the drill reflects whether the drill component is to be deemed operational or in need of repair. Quick and simple testing of both the leg and drill components is facilitated. | 02-03-2011 |

20150338964 | CONCURRENT SIGNAL DETECTION FOR TOUCH AND HOVER SENSING - Detecting a signal from a touch and hover sensing device, in which the signal can be indicative of concurrent touch events and/or hover events, is disclosed. A touch event can indicate an object touching the device. A hover event can indicate an object hovering over the device. The touch and hover sensing device can ensure that a desired hover event is not masked by an incidental touch event, e.g., a hand holding the device, by compensating for the touch event in the detected signal that represents both events. Conversely, when both a hover event and a touch event are desired, the touch and hover sensing device can ensure that both events are detected by adjusting the device sensors and/or the detected signal. The touch and hover sensing device can also detect concurrent hover events by identifying multiple peaks in the detected signal, each peak corresponding to a position of a hovering object. | 11-26-2015 |
