    Abstract: A display screen above a signature tablet faces downwards, towards the signature tablet. A transparent plate is located at a height half way between the tablet and the screen. A user observing the tablet through the transparent plate also sees a reflection of the screen. The reflection of the screen, called a virtual image, appears to be in the same plane as the top surface of the tablet. As the user signs the tablet with a stylus, the virtual image of the resulting signature follows behind the stylus. The signature appears to be on the top surface of the tablet, coplanar with the stylus path, rather than within the tablet. This allows the system to better simulate a traditional pen-on-paper signature. Separating the components responsible for sensing the stylus tip location and displaying the signature also allows for the independent optimization of the sensing and display functions.

    Abstract: Partial reflection of an image source creates a virtual image that appears superimposed on a keyboard. This virtual image contains labels for the keys. When users place their hands on the keyboard, this blocks the view of some of the keys but does not block the user's view of the virtual image. This creates a visual perception that users can see the key labels through their own hands. The physical keys themselves may be blank, with the labels existing solely as part of the virtual image. Modifying the image source allows the keyboard to be remapped in a variety of different ways, e.g., switching between Latin and Cyrillic characters, displaying application-specific functions, or remapping keys in a password entry system to prevent an observer from identifying the values of the keys being pressed by the user.

    Abstract: A laptop computer has a reflective transparent plate between the keyboard and the screen. Users viewing the keyboard through the plate sees a virtual image of the screen, reflected by the plate. This virtual image may include labels apparently superimposed on the keyboard; the keys themselves may be blank. Hands resting on the keyboard block the user's view of some keys, but do not block the view of the virtual image. This allows any key to be identified without moving the hands out of the way. The application (task) also exists within the virtual image, apparently in a pane just beyond the keyboard. This pane may extend over the keyboard, in lieu of the default virtual image labels for the keys. The task scrolls to maintain the active region of the task pane beyond the keyboard. Pressing control keys causes virtual image labels to indicate the newly enabled key functionality.

    Abstract: A user views a keyboard through a transparent plate. Partial reflection of an image source by the plate creates a virtual image, including labels, that appears to be superimposed on the keyboard. The keys themselves may be blank. Hands resting on the keyboard block the user's view of many of the keys, but do not block the view of the virtual image. The visual perception is that users can see the key labels through their own hands. This allows any key to be identified without moving the hands out of the way. The image source can be a computer-controlled monitor, which allows the virtual image labels to respond to user input. For example, pressing a control key can display virtual image labels for the shortcuts enabled by that control key. These virtual image labels can emphasize frequently used shortcuts, and also point out rarely used shortcuts to frequently used functions.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus that improve the effectiveness of a compression-based refrigeration cycle dehumidifier by allocating thermally distinct sections of the condenser to different air flows are disclosed. A bypass opening and divider plate direct ambient air to the refrigerant inlet section of the condenser. Air that has been cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator is directed to the rest of the condenser, with the air from the refrigerant outlet section of the evaporator being preferentially directed downstream, in the refrigerant flow path sense, from that section of the condenser already allocated to the ambient air coming from the bypass opening. The flows of ambient air and dehumidified air can be adjusted to improve moisture removal rates and avoid blockage of the evaporator by freezing of the condensate onto the evaporator. The system may also be used to remove condensates other than water.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a microelectronic assembly to have aligned conductive regions and dielectric regions with desirable processing and dimensional characteristics. The invention is particularly useful for producing integral capacitors, with the desired processing and dimensional characteristics achieved with the invention yielding predictable electrical characteristics for the capacitors. The method generally entails providing a substrate with a first conductive layer, forming a dielectric layer on the first conductive layer, and then forming a second conductive layer on the dielectric layer. A first region of the second conductive layer is then removed to expose a first region of the dielectric layer, which in turn is removed to expose a first region of the first conductive layer that is also removed. From this process, the first regions of the conductive and dielectric layers are each removed by using the overlying layer or layers as a mask, so that the remaining second regions of these layers are coextensive.
