    Abstract: UK9-87-004 GRAPHICS INPUT TABLET A graphics input tablet has a conductive layer and a resistive layer with contacts (16,17,23,24) arranged one along each edge of the resistive layer. The conductive layer is held at a negative potential relative to the resistive layer so current flows in each contact when localised pressure is applied to a region of the tablet (20) to bring the layers into electrical contact. The currents vary with both position and magnitude of the localised pressure. The position of the pressure is detected from the relative currents in opposed contacts and the magnitude of the pressure is detected from the total current in the contacts. The currents are measured by current sense amplifiers and processed in a computer. Analogue front-end processing of the currents is also possible.

    Abstract: 1,095,208. Soldering. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. May 26, 1966, No. 23616/66. Heading B3R. [Also in Division H2] In making soldered connections between printed circuitry on two adjacent panels, e.g. at a right-angle junction, an intermediate connector is located between the panels so that bridging conductors on its outer surface contact the respective printed conductor, and solder balls inserted in the contact areas are melted by heat supplied from an element or hot air stream through a bore in the connector. The connector may be of a ceramic material and of circular cylindrical form with encircling conducting bands, or alternatively of triangular cross-section with conductors on one or two faces. Alternatively, the connections are made by dip coating the connector and printed conductors with tin lead or similar solder.
