    Abstract: A flexibly interfaceable portable computing device includes a display coupled to a processor, which is coupled or selectively coupled to either or both of a keyboard and a recording unit. The display and the keyboard provide a first user interface to the processor. The recording unit is superimposable with a removable markable surface. A stylus allows user marking on the markable surface. The stylus provides a stroke signal and a stroke mark. The recording unit, the markable surface, and the stylus provide a second user interface to the processor. Optionally, the display also contributes to providing the second user interface to the processor. Switching among viewing modes for the display, and synchronization of information between the processor and a processor of the recording unit are also provided. A casing can enfold the display, the keyboard, and the recording unit to form a relatively slim profile. A portable computer system can have a display, a keyboard, and thick components enfolded and/or located within an overall thickness substantially equal to a sum of a first thickness for the display plus a second thickness for the keyboard, to present a slim profile.

    Abstract: An apparatus used to assist a surgeon in surgery is divided into two parts, proximal and distal. The apparatus has a number of rigid links (1 - 4) which rotate about pivots (A - L) to position and re-position an instrument (11), like a surgical instrument, at a work point (Cmot) proximal to a patient but remote from the apparatus. The links cooperate in a way to move the manipulator about a center-of-motion (Cmot) with orthogonally decoupled degrees of freedom resolved at the work point. The proximal part (26) of the apparatus is adjustably fixed to a stationary object, like an operating table (22), while the distal part (25) of the apparatus holds the instrument (11). Certain links which can be adjusted in length, move the distal part with respect to the proximal part of the apparatus. In this manner, the work point of the manipulator and the working radius of the apparatus are changed without moving the proximal part. Actuators, manual or remotely (computer) controlled, both rotate the links about their pivots and adjust the length of the adjustable links. All the actuators can be mounted on the proximal part of the apparatus and electrically isolated from the manipulator in order to reduce the shock hazard to the patient.

    Abstract: FLEXIBLY INTERFACEABLE PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICE A portable computer system is disclosed that comprises a display having a first thickness, the display consisting of a display element and associated display casing, the first thickness being a minimum total thickness necessary to contain only the display element in the display casing; a keyboard having a second thickness, the keyboard consisting of a keyboard element and associated keyboard casing, the second thickness being a minimum total thickness necessary to contain only the keyboard element in the keyboard casing; and a plurality of other components. The display when stacked upon the keyboard and the plurality of other components are at least one of enfoldable and locatable within a total thickness substantially equal to a sum of the first thickness and the second thickness, to present a slim profile.

    Abstract: A computer system includes a security subsystem which is able to trustfully track which files or storage areas of a storage device have been altered since a last virus scan. The trusted information can then be used to accelerate scans for undesirable code or data such as viruses and invalid or corrupt registry entries. In the case of viruses, files or storage areas which have been altered are scanned against a super-set of virus definitions. Unaltered files or storage areas are scanned against a subset of virus definitions.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electromagnetic print element actuator which comprises a stator member (10) formed with two spaced apart pole pieces defining a gap and a coil (12) surrounding the stator member between the pole pieces, an elongated armature member (16) fixed at one end (18) and extending adjacent to the gap, and a print element (22) attached to the other end of the armature member. Energisation of the coil (12) causes attraction of the armature member (16) towards the gap and actuation of the print element (22). The print element actuator of the invention is characterised in that the armature member (16) extends substantially perpendicular to the flux path across the gap so that the flux path extends transversely through the width of the armature member (16). The invention also relates to a bank of electromagnetic print element actuators comprising a plurality of print element actuators of the above type in which the stator members of the actuators are formed into an integral stator unit (30) with the armature members extending parallel to each other.
