Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are described that determine a position of a touch component of a user input received outside a touch sensitive area of a touch surface by correlating a position of the force component and a position of a touch component of a portion of the user input received within the touch sensitive area with a position of the force component of a portion of the user input received outside the touch sensitive area. In this way, the position of a touch component of the user input received outside the touch sensitive area, where the touch surface is not capable via hardware to detect the position of the touch component, may be determined, and operations may be executed based on the position of the touch component that is determined.

Abstract: Display driver circuits include a multi-function driver, which is configured to support first and second modes of operation. The multi-function driver supports the first mode of operation in response to a first control signal by driving a bus with an output signal, which has a value that indicates a locked or unlocked status of a clock signal therein. The multi-function driver also supports the second mode of operation in response to a second control signal by driving the bus with multi-bit data that is unrelated to the locked or unlocked status of the clock signal.

Abstract: A laser imaging system with reduced speckle is disclosed. The laser imaging system includes spatially superpositioned 1-D arrays or alternatively 2-D arrays of independent emitters of laser radiation, with each emitter having a spectral bandwidth ??i centered at some arbitrary wavelength ?0i. The elements of the array are allowed, by design, to have a slightly different central wavelength, thereby creating an ensemble bandwidth ?? which is much greater than the bandwidth ??i of any individual emitter in the array. The resulting increased bandwidth reduces speckle in a displayed image.

Each of the data transmission lines is connected to the data transmission control IC with the shortest distance. The signal scan lines are connected to contacts at two sides of the signal scan control IC from two sides of the liquid crystal panel. The earlier a signal scan line is for scan, the closer to the inner side it is connected to a contact on the signal scan control IC.

Abstract: A shift register outputs at a terminal C1 to a data register a timing pulse which is active only for one clock in synchronization to the first rise of a clock CLK after a shift signal STH is received as a start pulse, and thereafter outputs timing pulses at terminals C2 through C64 one after another to the data register. Further, a logical multiplication gate AND2 yields the logical multiplication of a Q-output of an SR-type flip flop SRFF3 and a superimposed signal, whereby an inversion signal intPOL2 is generated. This inversion signal is outputted to the data register. As an OR gate OR1 yields the logical addition of an output of a logical multiplication gate AND3 and a Q-output of a D-type flip flop DFF64, which causes rising of a superimposed signal of an inversion signal POL2 and the shift signal STH which is shifted to a subsequent-stage source driver.
