Abstract: A flexible transducer designed with high volume manufacturing in mind is described, the where flexible transducer mount can be panelized into a grid form and the transducers assembled into the grid using commercially available pick-and-place tools. Once assembled, the mounted transducers may be attached to circuit boards using surface mount processes such as solder reflow or adhesive bonding via the electrical contacts on the underside of the flexible transducer mount. Further, maximization of the oscillating internal surface area that contributes to the acoustic pressure for a given transducer footprint area is described, which leads to greater packing density of transducers when used in an ultrasonic array. The greater packing density and pressure generated by the transducer aids with the miniaturization and cost reduction of mid-air haptic technology.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating an interactive zoom interface for an electronic device include electronically displaying a first graphical user interface area to a user. Input is then received from a user indicating a desire to initiate a magnified or zoomed display state. Upon receipt of such electronic input, a second user interface area is displayed to a user. The second user interface area (i.e., a zoom frame) corresponds to a magnified view of some or all of the first user interface area, which may be displayed in place of or overlaid on some or all of the first user interface area. The second user interface area may include at least one zoom toolbar portion including selectable controls such as but not limited to one or more of a zoom in, zoom out, zoom amount, pan directions, scroll directions, cancel/dismiss, contrast and display options, zoom frame toolbar position options, etc.
