Abstract: A palmtop computer (100) for receiving input of characters, the computer comprising a casing (108), a digitizer pad (103) coupled to the casing and a border (602) formed around the digitizer pad, the border including an actuable ridge to select a character type input mode, wherein said actuable ridge includes a stepped inner edge (612) that may be actuated by applying a pressure to said stepped inner edge to select a character type input mode.

Abstract: The Pendulum Whiteboard Printer is an effector platform for a fully- automatic robotic device for marking or otherwise effecting whiteboards, pinboards, or other vertical surfaces. The effector platform is designed to be suspended by two suspension wires whose lengths are adjusted by motorized spindles mounted above and on either side of the board surface. The position of the effector platform is adjusted by winding and unwinding the wires. Electrical power is supplied to the effector platform through the suspension wires or from an on-board battery. Control of a pen and/or other apparatus on the effector platform is achieved through modulation of the power voltage. The effector platform may be fitted with a variety of end effectors such as dry-erase markers, gripping elements, and squeegees.

Abstract: A zoomorphic computer for controlling a computer system includes an animal or humanoid shaped shell (10) having an attached transceiver (32) for two way communication with a computer system. A position detecting unit (22) determines position of the zoomorphic shell relative to the computer system, with change of position of the zoomorphic shell relative to the computer system changing state the zoomorphic shell or the computer system. The zoomorphic shell (10) can have movable elements such as arms or tails, attached to the zoomorphic shell, and support a feedback unit that communicates with the computer system, modifying position of a movable element in response to computer system output.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a processor-controlled machine to produce a composite view of an original, or first, image by combining the functions of multiple viewing operations and using the model data structure from which the first image was produced (called the "FIMDS".) A first viewing operation region (1VOR) in a first viewing position in the display area of the display device has displayed in the 1VOR a second image produced according to a first viewing operation (VO1), associated with the 1VOR, that maps the FIMDS to image definition data defining the second image. Request signal data is received from a signal source to present a second viewing operation region (2VOR) in the display area coextensive with at least a portion of the 1VOR, forming a composite viewing operation region in the overlapping region. The 2VOR has a second viewing operation (VO2) associated with it for mapping an input model data structure, typically but not necessarily the FIMDS, to image definition data defining a second image for display in the 2VOR (2VOR-SI), providing an alternate view of the FIMDS that is different from that provided by the VO1 associated with the 1VOR. In response to the request signal data, a composite viewing operation, composed from the functions of the VO1 and the VO2, maps the FIMDS to image definition data defining a composite image for display in the composite viewing operation region substantially at the same time as the first image is being displayed in the display area. This gives the perception to the machine user of applying composed viewing operations to information presented in the original image.

A first viewing operation region (1VOR) (20) in a first viewing position in the display area (180) of the display device has displayed in the 1VOR (20) a second image produced according to a first viewing operation (VO1), associated with the 1VOR, that maps the FIMDS to image definition data defining the second image. Request signal data is received from a signal source to present a second viewing operation region (2VOR) (40) in the display area (180) coextensive with at least a portion of the 1VOR (20), forming a composite viewing operation region in the overlapping region. The 2VOR (40) has a second viewing operation (VO2) associated with it for mapping an input model data structure, typically but not necessarily the FIMDS, to image definition data defining a second image for display in the 2VOR (2VOR-SI), providing an alternate view of the FIMDS that is different from that provided by the VO1 associated with the 1VOR.
