TLDR
In this article, the authors described a system for processing touch inputs with respect to a multipoint sensing device and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multi-point sensing device.Abstract:
Methods and systems for processing touch inputs are disclosed. The invention in one respect includes reading data from a multipoint sensing device such as a multipoint touch screen where the data pertains to touch input with respect to the multipoint sensing device, and identifying at least one multipoint gesture based on the data from the multipoint sensing device.read more

Eric Jean Frankel,Pascal Derivaz +1 more
TL;DR: A watch with visual and touch horometric functions, including a case sealed by a crystal (4) arranged above an analogue dial (5) surrounded by a fixed bezel (8) with a time-keeping circuit (10), a stepping motor (11), a non-acoustic vibration generating device (20); a power source (24) supplying the circuit, the motor, and the vibration generating devices (20) as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Multiple input language selection
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for determining an input language for a first application program accepting input through a computer and selecting at least one software system capable of accepting or operating on at least some of the input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the first program.
