TLDR
In this article, a user may initiate a zoom-in or zoom-out function by tracing an ellipsoidal shape (e.g., a circle) using a user interface device, such as a touchscreen, touchpad or mouse.Abstract:
Methods and devices provide an efficient user interface for providing continuous zoom or magnification of a displayed image on a computing device. A user may initiate a zoom-in or zoom-out function by tracing an ellipsoidal shape (e.g., a circle) using a user interface device, such as a touchscreen, touchpad or mouse. The zoom function continues so long as a touchscreen or touchpad are touched, or a mouse button is depressed, and an ellipsoidal path is traced. Zoom-in or magnification scaling factor may be applied to an image in response to a clockwise path trace and a zoom-out or demagnification scaling factor may be applied to an image in response to a clockwise path trace, or vice versa. A visual aid may be presented on the display that may be followed to conduct the zoom function.read more

Method and apparatus for integrating manual input
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple proximity transduction circuit is placed under each electrode to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio and to reduce wiring complexity, and segmentation processing of each proximity image constructs a group of electrodes corresponding to each distinguishable contacts and extracts shape, position and surface proximity features for each group.

Closed-loop sensor on a solid-state object position detector
TL;DR: In this article, an object position detector consisting of a touch sensor formed as a closed loop and having a physical constraint formed on an upper surface of the touch sensor and coextensive with the closed loop is presented.
Patent
Graphical scroll wheel
TL;DR: In this paper, a touch screen interface including a display screen, a touch sensor device, and a processor coupled to the display screen and the touch sensor is described, where the processor is adapted to cause a scroll wheel that indicates a scrolling path to appear on the display, such as in response to the touch sensing object motion that corresponds to a scrolling initiation gesture.

Method and apparatus for recognizing gestures on a computer system
TL;DR: In this paper, a stroke is input by a user onto a computer screen, and the stroke is smoothed by reducing the number of points that represent the stroke, and angles between adjacent segments of the smoothed stroke and derivatives of the angles are calculated.
Patent
Bone stabilization system including plate having fixed-angle holes together with unidirectional locking screws and surgeon-directed locking screws
TL;DR: A bone fixation system including a plate and a set of fixation locking screw holes is described in this paper, where each respective locking screw has a head with an external structure that is adapted to self-tap into the internal thread of a given locking screw hole to secure the respective first-type fixation locking screw at an surgeon directed angle relative to the plate.
