  • Transmissive Body
    Publication number: 20120098794
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for transmitting, collimating and redirecting light from a point-like source to produce a collimated optical signal in a substantially planar form are provided. In one embodiment the apparatus is manufactured as a unitary transmissive body comprising a collimation element and a redirection element, and optionally a transmissive element. In another embodiment the apparatus is assembled from one or more components. The apparatus and method are useful for providing sensing light for an optical touch input device.

  • Methods for Operation of a Touch Input Device
    Publication number: 20110012856
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for operation of a touch input device comprising a touch input area. The method comprises the steps of (i) detecting a touch or near-touch of an object on or near said touch input area; (ii) determining a parameter indicative of the size and/or shape of said object; (iii) comparing said parameter with at least one predetermined value; and (iv) enabling an operational state of said touch input device in response to said comparison. The parameter may be compared with one or more threshold values which delimit the operational state of the input device. Such operational states include a sleep mode or active mode, the use of a full QWERTY or reduced keyboard, translation or rotation of graphical elements, etc. The method is particularly suitable for differentiating between a touch by a stylus or touch by a finger.

  • Lead frame attachment for optoelectronic device
    Publication number: 20010015480
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device is mounted on a planar substrate in electrical connection with solder bumps adjacent an edge of the substrate and connection to a lead frame is made by loading the edge of the substrate on a lead frame support with lead frame conductors in engagement with the solder bumps and applying heat to melt the solder.
