  • Patent number: 11553824
    Abstract: An automatic guiding method for a self-propelled apparatus (10) is provided. The self-propelled apparatus (10) turns and irradiates when a signal light emitted by a charging dock (20) is sensed by a flank sensor (103), and changes its turn direction when another different signal light from the charging dock (20) is sensed by a forward sensor (102). The charging dock (20) switches to emit another signal light different from the signal light currently emitted when each time is triggered by the signal light emitted by the self-propelled apparatus (10). Repeatedly execute the above actions and make the self-propelled apparatus approach the light-emitting unit (202) until the self-propelled apparatus (10) reaches a charging position. It can accurately guide the self-propelled apparatus (10) to the charging position by arranging only two sensors on the self-propelled apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220317784
    Abstract: An information handling system stylus transmits a wireless signal at a writing tip to enhance touch detection of the writing tip by a touchscreen display and receives wireless signals from the touchscreen display at a receiving antenna. To enhance control of wireless energy distributed at the writing tip, the receiving antenna is selectively coupled to the writing tip, such as by transitioning from a float of the receiving antenna to an interface with the stylus power source at transmit by the writing tip. Charge at the receiving antenna helps to shape the energy distribution from the writing tip, such as to match the energy distribution of other styluses in use at the touchscreen display.
