Publication number: 20210200343Abstract: Examples disclosed herein provide a digital pen for a computing device. As an example, the digital pen includes a barrel and an assembly coupled to the barrel. The assembly includes a tip along a first end of the assembly, a structure along a second end of the assembly opposite from the first end, and a shaft coupling the tip and the structure to each other. The shaft is disposed in an opening of the assembly, the opening including a pivot point to transfer a force to be applied at the tip to a reactionary force at the structure. The digital pen includes material with an array of force sensors that the structure is to move along. Based on a location of force sensors from the array that is to receive the reactionary force from the structure, a tilt angle is determined.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2017Publication date: July 1, 2021Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Charles J.

Patent number: 7149927Abstract: An emulator is provided on an electronic assembly that permits external logic to communicate with test logic on the electronic assembly over an electrical interface that has fewer signals than the electrical interface associated with the test logic itself. In this way, external logic can communicate with test logic on the electronic assembly over an interface that uses fewer signal lines thereby permitting the electronic assembly's electrical connector to be smaller than it otherwise would be. In accordance with one embodiment, the test logic's interface comprises a JTAG interface having four signals (with an optional fifth signal) and the interface between the emulator and the external logic comprises a two wire SMBus communication link. In fact, the SMBus interface may already be provided to the electronic assembly for other reasons such as to provide control to and obtain status information from another component on said electronic assembly.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Charles J.
