Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a click surface in a graphical environment, such as a graphical user interface, implemented on a host computer for use with a force feedback interface device. A displayed cursor is controlled by a user-moveable user object, such as a mouse, of the interface device. A click surface is displayed with an associated graphical object, such as a graphical button or an edge of a window, icon, or other object. When the click surface is contacted by the cursor, a force is output opposing movement of the user object in a direction into the click surface and into the graphical object. When the user object has moved to or past a trigger position past the contact with the click surface, a command gesture signal is provided to the host computer indicating that the graphical object has been selected as if a physical input device on the user object, such as a button, has been activated by the user. Preferably, the host computer displays the graphical environment including the click surface and cursor, while a microprocessor local to the interface device controls the force output of the click surface in parallel with the host display.

Patent CA-2308474-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LABATON ISAAC J
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1998-11-04
Abstract: Cette invention a trait à des méthodes permettant d'effectuer une identification et une validation, éventuellement unidirectionnelles, ne pouvant pas faire l'objet d'une répudiation et sans suivi, méthodes dans le cadre desquelles les dispositifs d'identification n'exigent pas un accès à des bases de données relatives à une identification d'entités à distance. Une entité arbitre, caractérise, de préférence, un algorithme spécifique de chaque entité à distance et le diffuse. Un dispositif d'identification (ou un système d'exploitation d'un tel dispositif) attribue, de préférence, à chaque entité, un algorithme pouvant être inversé. Chaque fois qu'une entité à distance s'identifie elle-même auprès d'un dispositif d'identification, elle applique son algorithme généré par l'arbitre, soit à une variable à base temporelle (identification unidirectionnelle), soit à un procédé d'identification fourni par un dispositif d'identification, calculant un premier résultat. L'entité à distance applique ensuite l'algorithme pouvant être inversé au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, à ses données d'identification et au premier résultat établi, calculant un second résultat envoyé au dispositif d'identification. Celui-ci peut alors appliquer l'algorithme inverse au second résultat, calculant un procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, des données d'identification et un premier résultat supposés. Le dispositif d'identification peut alors comparer le procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle supposé. S'il y a concordance (avec une certaine marge de tolérance pour la variable à base temporelle), le dispositif d'identification transmet à l'arbitre, le premier résultat, les données d'identification et le procédé d'identification supposés. L'arbitre applique alors l'algorithme particulier attribué à cette entité à distance et l'applique au procédé d'identification/variable à base temporelle, calculant, de ce fait, un premier résultat correct. L'arbitre peut ensuite comparer le premier résultat correct au premier résultat opposé. S'il y a concordance (avec une certaine marge de tolérance pour la variable à base temporelle), l'arbitre est à même de confirmer au dispositif d'identification l'authenticité de l'identification.

Inventor: FENG KAI D
IPC: H04B10/50
Filed: 2000-06-13
Abstract: A high efficiency LED driver circuit utilizing a capacitor to regulate the LED  driving current. The voltage across the capacitor is monitored to maintain a preselected low threshold voltage on the capacitor, which determines the LED optical emission intensity. The capacitor provides the LED driver current by discharging through the LED during transmission intervals, and the power supply for the device is used only to maintain the capacitor charge level. The LED  driver circuit of the invention accordingly operates at high efficiency with low power consumption.  The LED driver current can be regulated by changing the low and high threshold voltages of the capacitor pump controller, to thus control the optical intensity of the LED.
