| A remote control for controlling a home entertainment device having a display screen provided with a movable object includes a touch pad. The touch pad is operable with the display screen such that the display screen is mapped to the touch pad area. The touch pad generates a signal in response to an operator touching the touch pad. The signal is indicative of the location of the touch on the touch pad. A controller is operable with the touch pad for receiving a signal from the touch pad in response to an operator touching the touch pad. In response to an operator touching the touch pad the controller moves the movable object on the display screen to the location on the display screen corresponding to the location of the touch on the touch pad. The touch pad also generates a gesture signal in response to a gesture performed on the touch pad. The gesture signal is indicative of the gesture performed on the touch pad. Each gesture performed on the touch pad corresponds to a control function. The controller is operable with the touch pad for receiving a gesture signal from the touch pad in response to an operator performing a gesture on the touch pad. In response to an operator performing a gesture on the touch pad the controller controls the home entertainment device to enable the control function corresponding to the gesture performed on the touch pad. | ||||||

The case has in the center part of one of its sides a slot and a multi-contact connector is disposed in facing relation to this slot. The contacts of the connector are electrically connected to at least some of the components within the case. The connector provides the normal connection between these components when the unit is used alone and cooperates with a secondary complementary multi-contact connector which may be plugged in the first-mentioned connector and is connected to circuits which are insertable in the circuit contained in the case by a plugging together of the first connector and second connector. | ||||||
| 73 | Bounceless switch apparatus | US140921 | 1980-04-16 | US4315238A | 1982-02-09 | Franklin N. Eventoff |
| A pressure responsive, variable resistance, analog switch has first and second conductors interleaved in spaced-apart relationship and disposed on a base member. An insulative spacer ring is positioned around and rises above the first and second conductors. A resilient cover sheet is attached to the top of the insulative spacer ring in spaced relationship over the conductors to define an enclosure between the resilient cover sheet and the base member. A pressure sensitive resistive conductor composition is disposed on the resilient cover sheet or on the conductors in the enclosure to interconnect a resistance between the first and second conductors when the resilient cover sheet is depressed against the conductors. The amount of resistance so interconnected varies inversely to the amount of pressure exerted. | ||||||
| 74 | Pressure transducer | US140937 | 1980-04-16 | US4314228A | 1982-02-02 | Franklin N. Eventoff |
| A pressure transducer device particularly useful in an electronic musical instrument includes a flexible base folded to define upper and lower flexible base portions, a donut-shaped first spacer between the upper and lower base portions and a resiliently deformable diaphragm attached about its periphery to the upper flexible base portion with a second donut-shaped spacer therebetween. A center region of the diaphragm laterally spaced from the second spacer is adhesively attached to a central region of the upper flexible base portion so that the upper flexible base portion moves inwardly and outwardly in response to the movement of the diaphragm. A pair of conductors are disposed on the folded flexible base member to face one another. A pressure responsive composition disposed over the conductors provides a contact resistance across the pair of conductors which varies inversely with the amount of pressure force exerted against the diaphragm. The upper flexible base portion may be attached between the first and second spacers about its entire periphery or at a small hinge region with the upper base portion being a flap movable about the hinge region in the region surrounded by the first spacer. | ||||||
| 75 | Multi-function touch switch apparatus | US97610 | 1979-11-26 | US4268815A | 1981-05-19 | Franklin N. Eventoff; M. Tyrone Christiansen |
| A multi-function touch switch apparatus has a first semiconductor composition layer disposed on top of a first conductor layer which is affixed to a first base member. A second semiconductor composition layer opposing the first semiconductor in spaced relationship thereto is disposed on a second conductor layer which is itself disposed on the bottom surface of a second support member. A third conductor layer is also disposed on the top surface of the second support member in opposing spaced-apart relationship to a fourth conductor layer disposed on the bottom surface of a third support member. The second and third support members and the affixed conductor layers and semiconductor layers are resiliently deformable in a transverse axis in response to a transverse touch force to thereby cause electrical contact between the second and third conductor layers to provide a closed switch and the first and second semiconductor layers to provide a closed switch in series with a pressure sensitive resistance. | ||||||

| Keyboard construction using a sheet of flexible and resilient non-conductive material preferably non-conductive plastic which is preformed in a predetermined manner for supporting both contact means and contactor means and which is adapted to be folded so that the contact and contactor means are positionable in spaced apart alignment whereby upon depression electrical contact may be made between said contact means and said contactor means. | ||||||
| 77 | HEALTHCARE KEYBOARD | PCT/GB2007000570 | 2007-02-20 | WO2007096593A2 | 2007-08-30 | BAKER MARTIN; PAISLEY JOHN; TAMASAUSKAS TONY; BALE ALAN; MERRITT PAUL; WATERMAN TIMOTHY; PLATTS ROBERT |
| A healthcare keyboard is provided with a key matrix (301) having contact zones (303a, 3O3...n), arranged to represent the layout of a keyboard, a processor (302) adapted to receive a signal from the key matrix (301) indicating whether a contact zone (303 a, 303...n), is open or closed and to transmit data to an external device, and a dedicated "clean" key. The processor (302) is arranged to switch between a first mode of operation, in which the processor (302) is adapted to process data from the keys in the key matrix (301) and a second mode of operation in which the processor (302) is adapted to disregard signals from the keys in the key matrix (301) in response to receipt of an interrupt signal from the dedicated "clean" key. Certain novel key shapes, profiles and cross sections are described, as well as internal arrangements and methods of use. | ||||||
| 78 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROL MODULES IN PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES | PCT/US2006002553 | 2006-01-25 | WO2006083638A2 | 2006-08-10 | HAAS ANDREAS |
| Systems and methods for concealing and revealing a control module of a portable electronic device which will simultaneously function as a means of changing the state of the device's operating system. Concealing the control module of the portable electronic device provides for protecting the keys from damage as well as inadvertent activation. At the same time, the concealment action automatically triggers the switching of the operating system from an active state to an inactive state. When the control module of the portable electronic device is revealed, the keys are accessible and the operating system is switched to an active state. Embodiments of the patent include pivoting method and apparatus, sliding method and apparatus and covering method and apparatus. | ||||||
| 79 | SWITCH MATRIX | PCT/US0206320 | 2002-02-28 | WO02069480A3 | 2003-05-01 | CLEGG PAUL T; DAY WALLACE E |
| A switch matrix 20 is disclosed for keypads 10 used in devices such as primary control points for automation systems in homes vehicles, or businesses. The switch matrix 20 preferably includes a support frame 22 for supporting a grid of key positioning members 28 arranged in a series of rows and columns. The key positioning members 28 each preferably include cantilevers 30,34 which can be deflected by pressing the keys 12 to activate switches 67 associated with the keypad 10. The cantilevers 30,34 preferably have knobs 44 which are received in corresponding openings 46 in the keys 12 so that the keys 12 can be removably attached to the cantilevers 30,34 with a compression fit. This allows keys 12 of different sizes and shapes to be easily attached to the keypad 10 in various configurations without the need for different attaching devices for each situation. | ||||||
