20090231281 | MULTI-TOUCH VIRTUAL KEYBOARD - A computing system includes a display and a sensor to detect multi-touch input at the display. The computing system further includes a processing subsystem operatively connected to the display and the sensor and computer-readable media operatively connected to the processing subsystem and including instructions executable by the processing subsystem. Such instructions cause the display to present a virtual keyboard image, the virtual keyboard image including a primary key and a modifier key. Such instructions also translate touch input at only the primary key into a first keyboard message and translate temporally overlapping touch input at both the primary key and the modifier key into a second keyboard message, different than the first keyboard message. | 09-17-2009 |
20090327886 | USE OF SECONDARY FACTORS TO ANALYZE USER INTENTION IN GUI ELEMENT ACTIVATION - An interactive media display system and a method of activating a graphical user interface element presented by the interactive media display system are provided. The method includes presenting the graphical user interface element via a touch-sensitive display surface of the interactive media display system; receiving a user input at the touch-sensitive display surface; determining whether one or more secondary factors associated with the user input indicate an intentional contact with the graphical user interface element that is presented via the touch sensitive display surface; activating the graphical user interface element if the one or more secondary factors indicate the intentional contact with the graphical user interface element; and disregarding the user input by not activating the graphical user interface if the one or more secondary factors do not indicate the intentional contact. | 12-31-2009 |
20100177931 | VIRTUAL OBJECT ADJUSTMENT VIA PHYSICAL OBJECT DETECTION - Various embodiments related to the location and adjustment of a virtual object on a display in response to a detected physical object are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a multi-touch display, a processor and memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to display on the display a virtual object, to detect a change in relative location between the virtual object and a physical object that constrains a viewable area of the display, and to adjust a location of the virtual object on the display in response to detecting the change in relative location between the virtual object and the physical object. | 07-15-2010 |
20110115745 | INTERACTIVE DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH CONTACT GEOMETRY INTERFACE - An interactive display system with a contact geometry interface is disclosed. The interactive display system may include a multi-touch display, a touch detection system configured to detect a touch input on the multi-touch display and to generate contact geometry for a contact region of the touch input, and an application programming interface executed on a processor of the interactive display system. The application programming interface may be configured to receive the contact geometry and to send the contact geometry to a requesting application program for application-level processing. Further, the application programming interface may be configured to receive from the application program a display command based on the application level-processing. The application programming interface may be configured to send the display command to the multi-touch display to adjust a display of a graphical element on the multi-touch display. | 05-19-2011 |
20130002591 | VIRTUAL OBJECT ADJUSTMENT VIA PHYSICAL OBJECT DETECTION - Various embodiments related to the location and adjustment of a virtual object on a display in response to a detected physical object are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a multi-touch display, a processor and memory comprising instructions executable by the processor to display on the display a virtual object, to detect a change in relative location between the virtual object and a physical object that constrains a viewable area of the display, and to adjust a location of the virtual object on the display in response to detecting the change in relative location between the virtual object and the physical object. | 01-03-2013 |

20120272221 | RULE BASED DATA DRIVEN VALIDATION - The technology provides for rule based data driven validation in which a rule engine identifies which rules are applicable to target data items of a target data object by their data types including any inherited data types. Additionally, a condition for a rule or a rule exemption is implemented also as a rule which is processed by the rule engine like any other rule. In one embodiment, a validation system includes an abstract rule store of rule instance data items which link to corresponding concrete rules which may be in different data formats. A corresponding rule provides access to rule logic which implements the corresponding rule. A rule engine and the abstract rule store may be accessed over a network by an application requesting validation of a target data object. Furthermore, in some examples, the data driven rule store can be implemented using the Microsoft .NETâ„¢ framework. | 10-25-2012 |

20090259825 | MULTI-CORE PROCESSING SYSTEM - A system has a first plurality of cores in a first coherency group. Each core transfers data in packets. The cores are directly coupled serially to form a serial path. The data packets are transferred along the serial path. The serial path is coupled at one end to a packet switch. The packet switch is coupled to a memory. The first plurality of cores and the packet switch are on an integrated circuit. The memory may or may not be on the integrated circuit. In another aspect a second plurality of cores in a second coherency group is coupled to the packet switch. The cores of the first and second pluralities may be reconfigured to form or become part of coherency groups different from the first and second coherency groups. | 10-15-2009 |
20090263138 | FREE-SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A free-space communication system and method of operation includes a first communication device physically coupled to a substrate and having an optical transmitter for communicating information. A second communication device is physically coupled to the substrate and has an optical receiver for communicating information. An adjustable optical beam deflector is physically coupled to the substrate for optically coupling the first communication device and the second communication device via an optical beam including a free-space optical portion. A feedback system includes a non-optical communication link for receiving information regarding the optical beam. The feedback system controls the adjustable optical beam deflector to direct the optical beam to improve the quality of an optical link incorporating the optical beam. At least one sensor is physically coupled to the substrate for monitoring one or more environmental conditions and providing information of the one or more environmental conditions to the feedback system. | 10-22-2009 |

20090295415 | TESTING OF MULTIPLE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS - A testing system includes a tester probe and a plurality of integrated circuits. Tests are broadcast to the plurality of integrated circuits using carrierless ultra wideband (UWB) radio frequency (RF). All of the plurality of integrated circuits receive, at the same time, test input signals by way of carrierless UWB RF and all of the plurality of integrated circuits run tests and provide results based on the test input signals. Thus, the plurality of integrated circuits are tested simultaneously which significantly reduces test time. Also the tests are not inhibited by physical contact with the integrated circuits. | 12-03-2009 |
20090297146 | MULTIPLE CORE SYSTEM - An integrated circuit has a group of cores that communicate with a packet switch using carrierless ultra wideband (UWB) radio frequency (RF) signaling. The packet switch communicates outside the integrated circuit using optical signaling. The carrierless UWB provides for high frequency communication and processing without requiring additional space for interconnects. No special paths are necessary because the signals used by the cores for communicating with the packet switch are RF signals therefore they can be broadcast by the packet switch and be received by a plurality of cores. No conductor line or waveguide is required. Because the signals are carrierless, they can be transmitted with low power. With multiple cores providing information to the switch, the total information being received may exceed the capacity of the RF bandwidth so an external optical interface is provided to multiplex information provided via carrierless UWB RF signals by a plurality of cores. | 12-03-2009 |
