20090210734 | WAKEUP OF A NON-POWERED UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS - Universal serial bus wakeup when the bus is not powered. In one embodiment, a method of waking up a universal serial bus (USB) from a non-powered state, comprises: upon detection of a wakeup condition, a wakeup generation module associated with a USB device generating a wakeup signal on a power line of a USB bus coupled to the USB device, or on a single-wire sideband; and a host wakeup module detecting the wakeup signal and causing the USB bus that is coupled to the USB device to be supplied with power. | 08-20-2009 |
20110157083 | RESISTIVE TOUCH APPARATUS - The subject matter discloses an apparatus, comprising a first resistive sheet and a second resistive sheet disposed in proximity to the first resistive sheet, such that pressure applied at a first touch point and at a second touch point on the first resistive sheet causes flow of electrical current between the first resistive sheet and the second resistive sheet. The apparatus further comprises a control unit coupled to a first terminal and to a second terminal, and configured to measure a first resistance between the first terminal and the second terminal; and configured to estimate a distance between the first touch point and the second touch point. The apparatus further estimates the location of the first touch point and the second touch point. | 06-30-2011 |

20120194454 | FINGER TILT DETECTION IN TOUCH SURFACE-BASED INPUT DEVICES - An input device includes a touch sensor and a processing unit. The touch sensor has a surface and is configured to sense an imprint of a finger that touches the surface. The processing unit is configured to calculate a tilt of the finger relative to the surface by measuring a shift of the imprint sensed by the touch surface, and to produce an output based on the tilt. | 08-02-2012 |
20120262419 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING MULTIPLE TOUCH POINTS IN SURFACE-CAPACITANCE TYPE TOUCH PANELS - A multi touch sensing module comprising a plurality of electrically conductive touch surfaces, each connected to at least one trace, wherein the touch surfaces are arranged in more than two columns, each including more than two touch surfaces, wherein touch surfaces in corresponding positions in said columns form staggered rows, and all touch surfaces reside in a single layer of electrically conductive material. | 10-18-2012 |
20130300707 | PARSIMONIOUS SYSTEMS FOR TOUCH DETECTION AND CAPACITIVE TOUCH METHODS USEFUL IN CONJUNCTION THEREWITH - A touch sensing system comprising a set of touch surfaces in a touch panel including a population of touch surfaces; and at least one touch alert generator separately alerting for touch on each of, and both of, at least first and second touch surfaces from among the population of touch surfaces, wherein the alert generator is operative to determine capacitance of said first touch surface, determine touch object capacitance of said first and second touch surfaces, and compute a difference between the two capacitances, thereby to generate an approximation for touch object capacitance of said second touch surface. | 11-14-2013 |
20140082721 | SECURED COMPUTING SYSTEM WITH ASYNCHRONOUS AUTHENTICATION - A computing device includes an input bridge, an output bridge, a processing core, and authentication logic. The input bridge is coupled to receive a sequence of data items for use by the device in execution of a program. The processing core is coupled to receive the data items from the input bridge and execute the program so as to cause the output bridge to output a signal in response to a given data item in the sequence, and the authentication logic is coupled to receive and authenticate the data items while the processing core executes the program, and to inhibit output of the signal by the output bridge until the given data item has been authenticated. | 03-20-2014 |
20150089223 | PROTECTING MEMORY INTERFACE - An apparatus includes an interface and logic circuitry. The interface is configured to communicate over a communication link. The logic circuitry is configured to convert between a first stream of plaintext bits and a second stream of ciphered bits that are exchanged over the communication link, by applying a cascade of a stream ciphering operation and a mixing operation that cryptographically maps input bits to output bits. | 03-26-2015 |
