TL;DR: The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a promising new method for studying the surface structure of both conductors and insulators as discussed by the authors, achieving a resolution better than 2.5 A.
Abstract: The atomic force microscope (AFM) is a promising new method for studying the surface structure of both conductors and insulators. In mapping a graphite surface with an insulating stylus, we have achieved a resolution better than 2.5 A.

TL;DR: A user interface includes a main screen divided into various screen areas as discussed by the authors, where at least one screen area is devoted to a system application for displaying status icons, and another of the screen areas are devoted to an interface page which may or may not link to other interface pages which are used for displaying current or recent application information for respective user applications which user applications may be accessed through interaction with the interface page.
Abstract: A user interface includes a main screen segregated into various screen areas. At least one of the screen areas is devoted to a system application for displaying status icons, and another of the screen areas is devoted to an interface page which may or may not link to other interface pages which are used for displaying current or recent application information for respective user applications, which user applications may be accessed through interaction with the interface page. The application information may be application status information, recent communication messages (such as e-mail messages, SMS messages, or instant messaging messages) and/or one or more upcoming events or to do items for a user. The user interaction may occur through selection with a pointing device such as a stylus, a fingertip stylus, a finger, or one or more buttons, or even through voice commands. The user interface may also include an area reserved for displaying advertisements.

02 Sep 2009TL;DR: In this paper, a user interface for a touch-screen display of a dedicated handheld electronic book reader device is described, which detects human gestures manifest as pressure being applied by a finger or stylus to regions on the touch screen display.
Abstract: A user interface for a touch-screen display of a dedicated handheld electronic book reader device is described. The user interface detects human gestures manifest as pressure being applied by a finger or stylus to regions on the touch-screen display. In one implementation, the touch-screen user interface enables a user to turn one or more pages in response to applying a force or pressure to the touch-screen display. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface is configured to bookmark a page temporarily by applying a pressure to the display, then allowing a user to turn pages to a new page, but reverting back to a previously-displayed page when the pressure is removed. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface identifies and filters electronic books based on book size and/or a time available to read a book. In another implementation, the touch-screen user interface converts text to speech in response to a user touching the touch-screen display.

TL;DR: In this paper, the antenna element is a bracket for holding a stylus or other object within the stylus chamber that is associated with the computing device, and the dimension and composition of the antenna remain relatively constant to provide a consistent radiation pattern requiring little or no redesign when implemented across the different products.
Abstract: Technology for standardizing an antenna design for a computing device includes an antenna element in the shape of an object that is commonly useful with multiple, different computing products. For example, in one embodiment the antenna element is a bracket for holding a stylus or other object within a stylus chamber that is associated with the computing device. The dimension and composition of the antenna remain relatively constant to provide a consistent radiation pattern requiring little or no redesign when implemented across the different products, since it may be placed at an edge of a device, by a stylus holder, or similar, common location that is a distance from a ground plane and device circuitry.
