Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for a reader transceiver circuit are described. The reader transceiver circuit incorporates a frequency generator, such as a surface acoustic wave (SAW) oscillator. A reader incorporating the reader transceiver circuit is configured to read a tag at very close range, including while being in contact with the tag. The transceiver can be coupled to various host devices in a variety of ways, including being located in a RFID reader (e.g., mobile or fixed position), a computing device, a barcode reader, etc. The transceiver can be located in an RFID module that is attachable to a host device, can be configured in the host device, or can be configured to communicate with the host device over a distance. The RFID module may include one or more antennas. The RFID module may include a detector that is configured to determine proximity. The detector may act as a trigger.
Abstract:
System includes an IR touch panel; a housing with an opening which provides access to at least a portion of a surface of the panel; a processor; and light sources disposed along perimeter of the panel so that beams emitted by the sources traverse the surface of the panel and at least one sensor that detects first data. The first data includes spatial orientation data and motion data of the panel and/or System. The processor compares the first data to second data to determine an occurrence of event related to the panel and/or System. The second data includes threshold ranges of changes in the spatial orientation data and the motion data. If the event occurrence is detected, the processor selects and executed a procedure to control the sources and/or the panel as a function of (i) the first data or (ii) the first and second data.
Abstract:
Described is a system and method for monitoring a mobile computing Arrangement. The arrangement may include a sensor and a processor. The sensor detects first data of an event including a directional orientation and a motion of the arrangement. The processor compares the first data to second data to determine if at least one predetermined procedure is to be executed. The second data may include a predetermined threshold range of changes in the directional orientation and the motion. If the predetermined procedure is to be executed, the processor selects the predetermined procedure which corresponds to the event as a function of the first data. Subsequently, the predetermined procedures is executed.
Abstract:
Described is a system and method for battery removal in a mobile device. The system comprises a battery receiving chamber receiving a battery to power the device and a suspension mechanism holding the battery in the battery receiving chamber, the suspension mechanism releasing the battery after receiving a signal. The method comprises determining if a mobile device is shut down and releasing a power supply from a suspension mechanism after the mobile device is shut down.
Abstract:
A hand held mobile terminal includes at least one torque cell for facilitating a torsionally stiff housing structure. The torque cell includes a plurality of first locking members located around a perimeter of a first housing and a plurality of second locking members located around a perimeter of a second housing. The first and second locking members are slidably engageable with each other so as to create a plurality of interlocking joints around the perimeter of the torque cell. Accordingly, the torque cell structure provides several advantages over the conventional mobile terminal housing, such as: better torsional rigidity, simplified assembly, improved volumetric efficiency, reduced need for shock absorbing materials, lighter overall weight, decoupling of impact loads, and mitigation of stress concentrations.
Abstract:
The application describes a mobile computing arrangement which incorporates a camera and also comprises a means for detecting camera shake and a processor for performing software control. If the detection means detects camera shake during the taking of a picture, the processor determines whether the amplitude of the motion is within a predetermined threshold when the camera captures the image and applies software compensation if necessary.
