  • Patent number: 5113042
    Abstract: A digitizer tablet capable of reduced coordinate wobble due to beat interference between an induced display scan rate and the tablet scan rate by introducing a controlled delay to change the time between successive samples to increase the beat frequency to the point where it can be effectively filtered out.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 20, 1990
    Date of Patent: May 12, 1992
    Assignee: Summagraphics Corporation
    Inventor: Alfred E. Mletzko
  • Patent number: 4992630
    Abstract: A digitizer tablet provided with menus over the marginal areas in the non-linear boundaries of the regular electrode array. Coordinate signals from the menu areas are processed to vary a parameter of the processing circuitry for the coordinate value outputs.

  • Patent number: 4333153
    Abstract: An electrophotographic typesetting system having a raster scanning means including means for directing a beam of modulated radiation across an imaging surface, means for providing relative motion between said beam and an imaging surface to produce a succession of raster lines, and forming a plurality of characters on said surface,including means for providing first digital data defining the identity and location of characters, font storage means providing data defining the contour of a plurality of characters with respect to a normalized encoded set of first and second coordinates, data processing means connected to said first and second digital data for producing third digital data defining the character boundaries intersecting a raster line, means for modulating said beam to change the state of the beam from a first state to a second state at a first intersection and to reverse the state of the beam at a successive intersection, forming said characters on said surface, said data processing means including a
