Martinus Hermanus Wilhelmus Van Delden has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20070057909
    Abstract: An apparatus (1) comprising a display screen (150), the apparatus (1) further comprising means (24) for activating said display screen (150) to serve as a loudspeaker for reproducing an audio signal (A), means (20) for detecting if said display is viewed by a user of the apparatus, and means (22) for adjusting the reproduction of said audio signal (A) in order to reduce display distortion in dependence on said detecting (20) if said display screen (150) is viewed. An advantage of reproducing an audio signal (A) according to the invention is that audio properties normally causing optical distortion in the display screen (150) may be reproduced in situations where the user is not able to perceive the optical distortion. These audio properties may contribute to an advantageous reproduction of the audio signal (A).

  • Publication number: 20060209039
    Abstract: A portable device is provided having a touch sensitive display (100) comprising an active matrix display element (101) and a touch sensitive element (103). The touch sensitive element (103) is disposed on the viewer distal side of the active matrix display element (101) thereby not affecting the display properties. The touch sensitive element (103) comprises a first and second conductive layer (113, 115) each having a plurality of conductors. The conductive layers (113, 115) sandwich a pressure sensitive layer (117) which modifies an electrical conductivity between two conductors of the two conductive layers (113, 115) in response to a pressure point resulting from an applied pressure. Thus, accurate position detection is achieved. The conductors may be aligned with the active matrix and the requirement for calibration may be obviated.
