Keyboard assembly for a mobile device

A keyboard assembly for a mobile device is provided that reduces the separation between keys by reducing the number of required dome switches. A reduction in the number of dome switches can alternatively reduce the amount of real estate taken up by dome switches on a printed circuit board (PCB). Fewer dome switches than keys are provided on a PCB to activate a desired functionality when a key is depressed. The dome switches are each actuatable by and disposed between more than one key, such keys preferably being adjacent keys. Each key has an actuator with at least one arm for actuating a dome switch in an actuated dome switch pattern when the key is depressed. Such a keyboard assembly can be used for any electronic device having a standard QWERTY or Dvorak keyboard layout, a standard telephone or numeric keypad layout, or any other layout of keys.

System and method for moving graphical objects on a computer controlled system

A user interface method and system for positioning graphical objects in the display area of a free form system. A selected object may operate in a first state where it can be moved to different positions within the display area. The selected object may further operate in a second state where movement of the selected object causes other graphical objects within its path of movement to also move. The state of the selected object is indicated by a visually distinct presentation of the graphical object, for example when in the first state the graphical object is shown to have shadow to provide the visual clue that it is “above” the other graphical objects in the display area. A user may dynamically switch between states based on signals provided to the system.

Folded tables: a method of viewing wide tables with reduced need for horizontal scrolling

A method for displaying, in a window on a computer display screen, tabular data arranged in rows and columns, wherein the sum of the widths of the columns is greater than the width of the workspace available within the window. The method includes the steps of determining the width of each column, determining the height of each row, and determining the dynamic height and width of the workspace available for the display of tabular data within said window. The method further includes the step of dividing said tabular data into table segments, each table segment comprising one or more columns of said tabular data. The method also includes the step of dividing said workspace into panes, each pane having a height determined by dividing the height of the window by the number of table segments, and displaying within each pane all of the columns of a table segment and one or more rows, wherein different columns are displayed in each pane and the same rows are displayed in each pane.

Window management method in mobile phone graphic system

The invention discloses a window management method in a mobile phone graphics system, which can avoid the situation that the window where the focus is located is not unified with the window currently displayed in front. The method includes: setting a first data structure for storing all window identifiers that have sent display window requests, the data structure is realized by a stack with last-in-first-out characteristics, and the window identifier at the top of the stack in the data structure is currently in the The window ID of the top-level window; when the window manager processes the focus acquisition request, it judges that only when the window ID of the window sending the request is the window ID at the top of the stack in the first data structure, focus switching is performed. By adopting the method of the invention, it is ensured that the focus window is consistent with the foremost top-level window that can be seen by the user. The method can still work normally even in the case of multiple nesting, so that the PC or PC-like graphics system is more suitable for the field of mobile phones.

Brake System Fault Pedal Gain Change Method and System

A brake system fault pedal gain change method and system for brake pedal simulator equipped vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicles is provided. In the event of a brake system booster fault, the method alerts the driver by way of tactile feedback. Additionally, the disclosed method provides a controlled means to gradually increase required brake pedal force during a brake system fault to avoid an abrupt change in brake pedal force when the brake system boost is depleted.

Haptic feedback devices for simulating an orifice

An apparatus comprises an input device and an actuator. The input device has an interface portion. The interface portion defines a selectively adjustable orifice having a range of sizes. The interface portion defines a plane and a longitudinal axis. An actuator is coupled to the interface portion of the input device. The actuator is configured to apply a haptic feedback force inwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis within the plane to at least three locations of the interface portion when a change in a size of an object disposed within the interface portion is sufficient to adjust the size of the orifice.

Computerized techniques are provided for linking digitized images of serial sections of a biological tissue sample. Linked, digitized images of the serial section are displayed on a display and manipulation of one digitized image causes other digitized images to be similarly manipulated. To link digitized images, a copy of a digitized image of one serial section is positioned over a digitized image of another serial section. The digitized image of the other serial section is visible through the copy. The transparency of the copy is changed to effect change of the visualization of the digitized image of the other serial section. The copy is registered to the digitized image of the other serial section.

Setting level of detail transition points

Visual representations of different versions of an object are automatically generated and presented to users. Users can compare these visual representations to determine appropriate level of detail transition points based on the visual appearances of different versions of an object. The specified level of detail transition points are converted into level of detail parameter values to be used to select one or more versions of an object for rendering, simulation, or other tasks. The visual representation of each version of an object can include an image sequence of the version at a range of distances from the camera. Each image corresponds to a view of the version at a specific level of detail parameter value. A user interface allows users to view the image sequences associated versions of an object as still images or animation. Users can select images in image sequences as level of detail transition points.

Display control apparatus and display control method

The invention provides a display control apparatus and a display control method wherein, where digital gradation display is performed, occurrences of a moving picture pseudo contour can be reduced simply. A signal production circuit produces a signal for driving a display section so that light of divisional light amounts obtained by dividing light amounts corresponding to bits which compose digital values which are pixel values may be emitted in a such manner as to be distributed within a time corresponding to one screen. In this instance, where both of a first light amount corresponding to a predetermined bit and a second light amount corresponding to a bit in a lower order by one bit to the bit are divided, the first and second light amounts are divided so that the division number of the first light amount may be smaller than twice the division number of the second light amount.
