  • Patent number: 10521049
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a touch screen including a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer, and a third electrode layer. The touch screen can include shield-sensor vias connecting the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer and shield-shield vias connecting the first electrode layer and the third electrode layer, for example. The shield-sensor vias can be placed in a bond pad region of the touch screen, which can further include connections between one or more routing traces connected to one or more touch electrodes and touch or other circuitry further included in the electronic device. The shield-shield vias can be placed in an outer region located around an inner region of the touch screen. In some examples, one or more routing traces can include diverted portions to maintain a threshold distance between the routing traces and the one or more shield-shield vias.

  • Patent number: 9714806
    Abstract: An apparatus (112) includes a housing (104) configured to couple the apparatus to a weapon mount (110) and to secure one or more gas springs (102). The one or more gas springs are configured to provide one or more forces. The apparatus also includes one or more wire ropes (114), where each wire rope is fixed at a first end to the weapon mount and has a hook at a second end. The apparatus further includes one or more guides (108) configured to guide the one or more wire ropes. In addition, the apparatus includes one or more bearings (106) configured to facilitate movement of the one or more wire ropes. The one or more wire ropes are configured to couple movement of the one or more gas springs to a tensile force on a front portion of the weapon mount or a weapon (116) so as to counter-balance a weight of the weapon in the weapon mount.

  • Publication number: 20120069046
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying computer-generated images on a head mounted device are provided. In some embodiments, a system for displaying computer-generated image is provided and may include transparent surface including a coating and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive a computer-generated image, determine the type of computer-generated image, vary a voltage applied to the coating of the transparent surface based on the determined type of computer-generated image, and display the received computer-generated image on the transparent surface.
