  • Publication number: 20160187996
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for image and sensory processing to facilitate human interface at a computer terminal. The apparatus include a video camera adapted to capture images of user finger movement above the keyboard primarily in an image plane along X and Y axes substantially normal to the keyboard key-field plane, at least one thumb touch pad segment, and a controller. The methods included capturing the video images of user finger movement in the image plane, capturing user initiated sensory input indicative of selected functions and/or positioning modalities, and utilizing the captured images and sensory input for mapping user selected work product entry location at the monitor viewing screen and/or performing other functions.

  • Publication number: 20060229689
    Abstract: One embodiment of the current LED therapy device comprises at least a left and right LED panel, each panel having a front surface and a back surface, the front surface of the left panel forming an angle relative to the front surface of the right panel of 70° to 170°. Each panel's front surface is generally vertically oriented. The embodiment also includes a detachably coupled pedestal. The pedestal includes a panel attachment section, a stem section, and a base section. The panel attachment section is detachably coupled to the left and right LED panels through a v-shaped slot and flange coupling. The panel attachment section is detachably coupled to the stem section, which, in turn, is also detachably coupled to the base section.
