Abstract: A method for mapping the trajectory of a part of the anatomy of a human or animal body. The method comprises receiving signals from a sensor attached to part of the anatomy, which include three dimensional position information indicating the location of the sensor, determining from the signals at least two angles of rotation of the part of the anatomy to which the sensor is attached with respect to a centre of rotation of another part of the body, transforming the signals to provide two dimensional coordinate data where a first dimension in the two dimensional coordinate space represents a first angle of rotation of the part of the anatomy, and a second dimension in the two dimensional coordinate space represents a second angle of rotation of the part of the anatomy; and stores the two dimensional coordinate data.

The best mode of the invention is considered to be the combination of an acceleration sensor in the center of gravity of a wireless spherical mouse that in addition houses a magnetic sensor (110) in a magnetic noise free position. This spherical mouse can be used to play for example basketball with real basketball like movements in a computer game (70).

Abstract: A water and/or airtight electrical socket for portable electronic devices includes sealing elements that are shaped like an arc, and arranged to seal only a portion of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface. When this arc element experiences pressure, it will mechanically relay the force caused by the pressure only to that section of the perimeter of the socket-plug interface that it is arranged to seal. It will not relay mechanical forces any further. This way, the mechanical effect of any extra asymmetric pressure will simply be limited to increasing the pressure of the seal in the perimeter section of that particular sealing element, thereby tightening the seal further still. This allows the socket opening to be sealed in a water- and/or airtight manner even in asymmetric pressure conditions, both when there is no plug in the socket and also when a plug is inside the socket.

Abstract: Information is browsed on a display device of a hand-held device naturally and logically essentially in a mirror-like way when the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device is moved in the same direction as the hand-held device is tilted. That is, the movements of the portion of the virtual data object displayed on the display device depends on the orientation of the hand-held device. A certain orientation of the hand-held device always displays the same portion of the virtual data object on the display device. The browsing method described above is extremely logical, and the movements and responses to the movements are natural.
