Title: Information processing apparatus capable of appropriatley executing shutdown processing, method of controlling the information processing apparatus
Filed: 2011-12-15
Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of recovering the apparatus from a state in which software operation is abnormal to a state in which the same is normal. The information processing apparatus is provided with a CPU for receiving an instruction for turning off power of the information processing apparatus. Upon receipt of the instruction, the CPU determines whether or not it is necessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus. When it is necessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus, the CPU controls the information processing apparatus such that the power thereof is turned off, whereas when it is unnecessary to turn off the power of the information processing apparatus, the CPU controls the information processing apparatus such that the power thereof is not turned off.

Title: Improvements in touch sensitive displays
Filed: 2012-05-31
Abstract: A method of operating a touch sensitive display that has an input array of electrodes capacitively coupled to an output array of electrodes. The method involves performing a scan operation at every intersection point of the input array and output array so as to obtain a touch value for every intersection point. The touch value is indicative as to whether there is a touch event at the intersection point. The intersection points are arranged into subsets (e.g. rows and columns). The touch value is compared to a predetermined threshold and only those subsets which include at least one intersection point that has a touch value exceeding the first threshold are processed. A comparison of the processing effort required to perform the processing step for respective subsets (e.g. rows columns may be made before selecting the subsets to process. A number of rows or columns can be eliminated from being processed thus reducing the overall processing burden.

Patent DE-3164952-D1 (DE)
Inventor: BERNARD PATRICE
IPC: G01C21/22
Filed: 1981-03-02
Granted: 1984-08-30
Abstract: The system comprises two parts: a first part which operates on a dead-reckoning basis from measurements of, say, measured wheel rotations (CD,CG) and a knowledge of an initial starting point and heading; and a second part which applies corrections to the first. The second part operates on the basis of a simplified map of the area travelled by the vehicle, said map storing only representations of "forbidden" areas (DZI) where the vehicle cannot possibly go, e.g. parks, lakes, large blocks of buildings etc. . . . A judicious selection of forbidden areas can be stored in highly stylized (i.e. simplified) form and still provide adequate information to overcome the inaccuracies inherent to any dead-reckoning system. This requires far less accurate storage for the secondary system than would a map of areas where the vehicle can go. A processor (OC) performs the required calculations and a display (PCV) is optionally provided for the driver, since in some systems, e.g. fleets of police cars, the point of the system is not to tell the driver where he is, but to tell a central control station.
