  • Patent number: 11740403
    Abstract: An optically transparent protective coating is described that remains stable at elevated temperatures associated with optical fiber-based sensor applications and is sufficiently transparent to allow for conventional fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to be formed by directly writing through the coating. In particular, vinyl group-containing silicone polymers have been found to provide the UV transparency required for a write-through coating (WTC) and promising mechanical properties for protecting the optical fibers, while also being able to withstand elevated temperatures for extended periods of time.

  • Patent number: 9281870
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for data transmission between terminals and a terminal. The method is applied between a first terminal and a second terminal, with a first capacitive touch screen set on the first terminal and a second capacitive touch screen set on the second terminal, and the method includes: the first terminal transforms the information to be transferred into binary data, then correspondingly applies a voltage to the electrodes involved in data transmission on the first capacitive touch screen and forms corresponding electric field distribution information; when the first capacitive touch screen contacts with the second capacitive touch screen, the second terminal decodes the information to be transferred according to the detected electric field distribution information currently on the first capacitive touch screen.

  • Publication number: 20150362979
    Abstract: A touch screen terminal and a working method thereof are provided. The touch screen terminal includes a touch screen, a touch control component, and a display control component. The touch screen includes a touch component and a display component. The touch component is configured to generate a corresponding touch signal according to touch operation of a user. The touch control component is configured to detect whether the touch component generates a touch signal when the touch screen terminal is in a locked mode; when the touch signal is detected, judge whether the touch signal meets a first preset condition; and when the touch signal meets the first preset condition, start the display control component. The display control component is configured to control the display component to display a corresponding interface after the display control component is started. The touch screen terminal of the disclosure can improve the user experience and reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20140240290
    Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic-book page turning method and apparatus, and a mobile device. The electronic-book page turning method comprises: a touched area of a touch screen of a terminal device is detected; according to the touched area, the page turning speed of an electronic book displayed on the touch screen is determined. The disclosure can solve the problem of the page turning in the prior art that the turning speed cannot be controlled and the page number cannot be precisely located while implementing fast page turning.

  • Publication number: 20130335372
    Abstract: The present document discloses a touch screen device and a method for implementing proximity sensing by the touch screen device. The method includes: within a time interval of scanning sensing channels of a capacitive touch screen one by one, performing whole layer scanning for the sensing channels of the capacitive touch screen; and comparing a result of performing the whole layer scanning for the sensing channels of the capacitive touch screen with a preset threshold, and if the result of the whole layer scanning is larger than the preset threshold, triggering a corresponding processing of a large-area touch event. The present document can implement the proximity sensing to a large-area object by the touch screen, and can distinguish effectively the large-area proximity event from the normal single-point or multi-point touch event during a user operation, thereby avoiding unnecessary false triggering.
