  • Patent number: 12253967
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for enabling an MFi stack and corresponding MFi application to be authenticated in an emulator operating using one or more processors/CPUs are presented. In one aspect, a computer may include a memory and processor configured to execute the operating system. The computer may include a USB bus coupled through USB interface to a dongle. The dongle may include an authentication coprocessor for use in an integrated circuit (I2C)-to-USB configuration, and an I2C-to-USB computer. Driver code running on the computer may manage the data exchanged between the authentication coprocessor and a virtual emulator on the computer. The emulator may include a USB-to-I2C driver that virtualizes the authentication coprocessor as an I2C device running with the MFi application like CarPlay.

  • Publication number: 20250068272
    Abstract: The present application discloses a capacitive screen, a method for its interaction with a stylus, and a storage medium. The capacitive screen includes a touch control chip and a screen coil. The touch chip generates a first current signal, which the screen coil, integrated as a metal coil, converts into a first electromagnetic signal. This signal is sent to the stylus, which then returns a second electromagnetic signal to the screen coil. The screen coil converts this into a second current signal for the touch chip, which calculates the distance between the screen and stylus. This invention enables real-time distance monitoring and interaction between the screen and stylus with low cost and power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20240411205
    Abstract: The present application discloses an anti-shake motor, a camera module, and electronic equipment. The anti-shake motor includes a base, an anti-shake bracket, a circuit board, and a conductive electrode plate. The anti-shake bracket is movably set on the base within a predetermined plane and has a conductive magnetic component. The circuit board is set on the base with a coil that drives the magnetic component to move the anti-shake bracket within the predetermined plane. The conductive electrode plate is set on the circuit board, forming a capacitor with the magnetic component, which is electrically connected to the circuit board to output the capacitive signal formed with the conductive electrode plate. The anti-shake motor, camera module, and electronic equipment provided in this embodiment can achieve closed-loop control of the anti-shake motor while minimizing internal space occupation.

  • Patent number: 11389008
    Abstract: A foldable tension spring mattress, wherein a vertical pressure is converted into a tension by means of a wrapping blanket; the tension acts on the periphery of a spring net and is converted into a pulling force acting on coil springs and penetrating springs; and then the pulling force is uniformly dispersed to each of the coil springs, so that the local overstressing of the coil springs and the penetrating springs is avoided, thereby preventing the spring net and the penetrating springs from being arched and sunken. As a result, the mattress may keep good elasticity all the time, which further increases the comfort level of the spring mattress. The present solution may alleviate the plastic deformation of the coil springs to further increase the comfort level of the spring mattress and improve the elasticity and durability of the spring mattress.

  • Publication number: 20130314414
    Abstract: In a method and a computing device for establishing a coordinate system on a surface of an object, a three dimensional computer aided design (CAD) model of the surface of the object is converted to a two dimensional UV plane. A triangular mesh model of the CAD model is generated. Points are selected from the triangular mesh model, and real points that corresponding to the points are sampled on the surface of the object. A conversion matrix is computed by aligning the real points and the points selected from the triangular mesh model; and the coordinate system is established according to the conversion matrix.
