Abstract: Examples disclosed herein describe, among other things, a computing system. The computing system may include, for example, a touch-sensitive surface to obtain a capacitive signature representing an object disposed on the touch-sensitive surface, and a camera to obtain supplemental data representing the object. The system may also include an identification engine to obtain, based at least on the capacitive signature, identification data associated with the object, and to obtain, based at least on the supplemental data, at least one characteristic of the object.

Abstract: A system and a method for displaying an image are disclosed herein. The system includes a surface on which the image is displayed and a display rendering device to display the image on the surface. The system also includes a capture device to detect the surface, a processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that cause the processor to: determine dimensions of the surface, determine a first orientation of the surface, convert the image to display on the surface based on the determined dimensions of the surface and the determined first orientation of the surface, detect repositioning of the surface to a second orientation, determine the second orientation of the surface, and convert the image to display on the surface based on the determined dimensions of the surface and the determined second orientation of the surface relative to the capture device.

Abstract: In one example, a portable projection capture device includes a digital camera and a projector mounted below the camera. The camera defines a capture area on a work surface within which the camera is configured to capture still and video images. The projector defines a display area on the work surface overlapping the capture area. The projector is configured to project into the capture area both images captured by the camera and white light for illuminating real objects in the capture area for camera image capture.

Abstract: A support rod is mounted to maintain straightness of a support surface of a printer. The support rod is used to preload the support surface in a direction opposite of an expected transverse load upon the support surface. The preloading supplied by the support rod counteracts a bending force on the support surface resulting from the expected transverse loading.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder mounted removably to a computer input device having a medium receiving and supporting surface includes a plurality of interconnectable modular assemblies for defining a medium path that extends from a medium input tray to a medium output tray via the medium receiving and supporting surface of the computer input device. One of the modular assemblies is a main chassis assembly includes an integrally formed main chassis shell having a substantially planar base. The input tray extends upwardly from the base and has a document receiving surface with a concave shape in both the vertical and horizontal planes to help facilitate proper sheet stiffening and alignment for sheet loading purposes onto the receiving and supporting surface of the computer input device. A paper pick and transport mechanism is housed in the main chassis and protrudes through a set of apertures in the output tray.
