  • Patent number: 10582899
    Abstract: An imaging system (100) includes a gantry (101) that defines an examination region (106) and a subject support (112). The subject support includes a tabletop (116) that supports an object or subject in the examination region for a scan of the object or subject and a base (114) that supports the tabletop. A support frame (132) supports the base. The base is moveably affixed to the support frame and moves between a plurality of predetermined locations, which are based on corresponding distances from the gantry. A support frame drive system (134) moves the base alternatively to one of the plurality of predetermined locations in response to an input signal indicative of the one of the plurality of predetermined locations, which corresponds to a location of interest for the scan of the object or subject.

  • Patent number: 10168834
    Abstract: Method and device for operating a touch screen are provided. The method includes that: a terminal obtains an actual sliding track of a touch operation of a user on a touch screen of the terminal (S102); the terminal replaces the actual sliding track with a pre-set sliding track corresponding to the actual sliding track (S104); and the terminal responds to a touch operation of the user according to the pre-set sliding track (S106). The present disclosure solves the problem in the prior art that a touch screen reports all false touches of a user over-sensitively and over-precisely, thereby facilitating a simple operation on the touch screen, reducing false and misinterpreted touches, and improving user experience.

  • Patent number: 9569026
    Abstract: A method and a mobile terminal for reporting a coordinate point of the touch screen. The method includes: the mobile terminal receiving a touch event of the touch screen; when two touch events are received simultaneously with the coordinate points of one touch event which is called as a first touch event including coordinate points belonging to a border region of the touch screen and all of the coordinate points of the other touch event which is called as a second touch event belonging to a non-border region of the touch screen, the mobile terminal determining a central coordinate point of the first touch event, correcting the central coordinate point to the border side of the touch screen nearest to the central coordinate point according to the second touch event; and taking the corrected coordinate point as a reported coordinate point.

  • Publication number: 20160360016
    Abstract: Provided are a method and device for collating a card holder of a cell phone, and relates to the technical field of mobile terminals. The method includes: a multi-point touch operation of a user on a card menu is detected, to judge whether multiple contacts with a duplicate name in the card menu are touched simultaneously under the multi-point touch operation; when the multiple contacts with the duplicate name in the card menu are touched simultaneously under the multi-point touch operation, contact information of the multiple touched contacts with the duplicate name is displayed on the one editable page. The present disclosure discloses a method for processing gestures inputs via providing a card holder of contacts with the duplicate name, thus improving the handling efficiency of a user and enhancing the user experience.

  • Publication number: 20160113598
    Abstract: An imaging system (500) includes a first scanner (502) with a first examination region (504) and a subject support (506). The subject support includes a tabletop (620) that positions a subject or object at at least two different positions in the examination region. A deflection of the tabletop is different at the at least two different positions. The subject support further includes a base (508) that positions the tabletop vertically in the examination region. A deflection delta predictor (522) predicts a deflection delta of the tabletop between the at least two different positions. The predicted deflection delta is used to correct for the deflection delta.
