Patent
Touch pad with force sensors and actuator feedback
Jeffrey Traer Bernstein,Avi E. Cieplinski,Brett W. Degner,Duncan Robert Kerr,Patrick Kessler,Paul G. Puskarich,Marcelo H. Coelho,Aleksandar Pance +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a touch pad may have a rectangular planar touch pad member that has a glass layer covered with ink and contains a capacitive touch sensor array, and force sensors may be mounted under each of the four corners of the planar member.
Patent
Movable touch pad with added functionality
TL;DR: In this paper, an input device includes a movable touch pad capable of detecting an object in close proximity to the input device so as to generate a first control signal, and also includes a movement indicator that can be used to detect the movements of the touch pad.
Patent
Magnetic latch mechanism
TL;DR: A magnetic latch mechanism for latching a first electronic assembly to a second electronic assembly was proposed in this paper, where a Halbach array was configured to provide a first magnetic flux in a first direction.
Patent
Actuating user interface for media player
Stephen P. Zadesky,Jonathan P. Ive,Christopher J. Stringer,Matthew Dean Rohrbach,Stephen Brian Lynch,Brett W. Degner +5 more
TL;DR: An actuating user interface is a display device that can both display visual information and serve as a mechanical actuator to generate input signals for a media player or other electronic device.
Patent
Electronic device having magnetic latching mechanism
Chris Ligtenberg,Brett W. Degner +1 more
TL;DR: A magnetic latch for a display of a laptop computer is disclosed in this paper, which uses magnetic attraction to maintain the display closed and uses magnetic repelling forces to pop-up the display when opened.
