  • Publication number: 20150034471
    Abstract: A keyboard capable of generating a tactile feedback signal makes use of acceleration change of pressing behavior and releasing behavior of a physical keyswitch during pressing and releasing stages. The acceleration change is modulated according to a touch sensitive frequency response in various ways so that a simulated tactile feedback may be generated on the keyswitches of the keyboard.

  • Patent number: 8891178
    Abstract: This invention provides an optical lens system in order from an object side to an image side comprising: a first lens element having a convex object-side surface; a negative second lens element having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface; a positive third lens element having a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface; a plastic negative fourth lens element having a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface, with both the object-side and image-side surfaces thereof being aspheric. By such arrangement, the incident angle of off-axis light projected onto the sensor can be suppressed for improving the sensitivity of the sensor effectively. Also, a sufficient back focal length can be retained for disposing other optical elements (e.g., an IR-pass filter), and thereby the system can be more suitable for the infrared aspect of optical imaging systems.
