Abstract: This disclosure generally relates to systems and methods to receiving onboard diagnostic data associated with an operational state of a vehicle of a user and pushing a message to the user, the message including information associated with the onboard diagnostic data.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include receiving, at a server, onboard diagnostic data associated with an operational state of a vehicle of a user; calculating vehicle-related trip expense data based on the vehicle trip distance data included in the onboard diagnostic data; generating a message including the vehicle-related trip expense data and wirelessly transmitting the message to a mobile device having an interface to present the vehicle-related trip expense data. The onboard diagnostic data may include vehicle trip distance data for a vehicle trip. The vehicle-related trip expense data may be based on a first cost rate associated with a first segment of the vehicle trip and a second rate associated with a second segment of the vehicle trip, and the calculating may be performed by a processor of the server. The onboard diagnostic data may be compatible with the OBD-II standard.

Abstract: A height dependent filter for a pointing device or digitizer tablet, a method of reducing jitter in position data of a pointing device, and a computer readable medium are provided. A method of stabilizing positional data in a digitizer tablet associated with a display device for reporting a position of a pointer includes detecting a current location of the pointer with respect to a coordinate grid defined on the tablet and outputting a position signal indicative of the current pointer location. Noise is filtered from the position signal based on at least one filter parameter. A distance between the pointer and a point on the tablet is determined, and an amount of jitter in the position signal is determined based on the determined distance. The at least one filter parameter is adjusted based on the estimated amount of jitter.

Abstract: A digitizer system for controlling movement of a pointer on a display unit is provided. The system includes a digitizer tablet for detecting an input position and generating tablet coordinate data according to the detected input position. A mapping unit maps the tablet coordinate data to display coordinate data based on a plurality of different predetermined scaling relationships and provides the display coordinate data to the display unit. An input device controls the mapping unit to switch between the predetermined scaling relationships.

Abstract: A graphical user interface for displaying actions of an input device on a display is provided. The interface includes a radial menu having an origin disposed at a center thereof and at least a first wedge defining an area extending outwardly from the origin. The first wedge is associated with a variable that is capable of being set to a value between a predetermined minimum value and a predetermined maximum value. A cursor for indicating a current position of the input device on the display is provided in the interface. The cursor is movable within the first wedge to select a current value of the variable based upon the angular position of the cursor with respect to said origin. A radial menu, computer system, and method are also provided.

Abstract: A method of triggering functions in a computer application comprises the steps of: providing a digitizer having a pointing device, wherein the digitizer and pointing device are operably associated with a computer having an operating system and an application; applying pressure to the digitizer with the pointing device; sensing the applied pressure; triggering in the application a first function if the sensed applied pressure exceeds a first pressure threshold; and triggering in the application a second function if the sensed applied pressure exceeds a second pressure threshold. The second pressure threshold is greater than the first pressure threshold.

Abstract: A holder (10) is disclosed for storing books and similar articles and for supporting the articles in open position includes a body (14) and a cover (16) hinged together to define a right rectangular polyhedron shape when the holder is closed. The cover (16), which forms the upper portion of the holder (10), is pivotable forwardly and downwardly about a pair of double-acting hinges (18) located along a horizontal centerline on the front wall of the holder (10). The cover (16) includes a top wall (46) which forms the top of the holder (10) when the cover (16) is closed and then lies flat on the surface on which the holder is standing when the cover (16) is open.
