Abstract: A system for handling multi-touch input on a computing device enables the device to handle multi-touch input where each touch input is provided to a separate application executing on the device. In response to a first touch input, a first application generates and registers a first connection point with a link component. Similarly, a second application generates and registers a second connection point in response to a second touch input. The link component then provides the second connection point to the first application and notifies the first application that it should complete a communication connection with the second application. The two applications then exchange information to determine a coordinator application that will execute first in response to the input. The information exchange may include a handshake process in which each application may request or provide information and notify the other application that it will or will not execute an operation.

Abstract: An optical storage device capable of compensating for y-ratio misalignment when generating a tracking error signal includes an optical pickup head for generating light to form a first subordinate spot on an optical medium and a second subordinate spot on the optical medium, and detecting light reflected from the first and second subordinate spots on the optical medium to generate first and second tracking signals. A phase delay unit is coupled to the optical pickup head for delaying the first tracking signal or the second tracking signal to thereby generate a compensated tracking signal. A tracking error generator is coupled to the phase delay unit for utilizing at least the compensated tracking signal to generate a tracking error signal. Because the maximum amplitude of the tracking error signal is increased to a maximum level, the accuracy and speed of track seeking operations of the optical storage device are improved.
