Patent number: 9069394Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus includes a trackpad that includes a cover member having a top surface and a switch coupled to the cover member. At least two spring members are coupled to the trackpad and are each disposed at a non-zero distance from each other and are each configured to collectively bias the trackpad in a first position in which the top surface of the cover member is in a first plane. The trackpad is movable to a second position in which the top surface of the cover member is in a second plane substantially parallel to the first plane when an input force is exerted on the top surface of the cover member. The switch is configured to trigger an electrical signal within a computer when the trackpad is moved to its second position.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Joseph Edward Clayton, Felix Jose Alvarez Rivera, Amy Han

Patent number: 8153016Abstract: The fabrication of a touch sensor panel having co-planar single-layer touch sensors fabricated on the back side of a cover glass is disclosed. It can be desirable from a manufacturing perspective to perform all thin-film processing steps on a motherglass before separating it into separate parts. To perform thin-film processing on a motherglass before separation, a removable sacrificial layer such as a photoresist can be applied over the thin-film layers. Next, the motherglass can be scribed and separated, and grinding and polishing steps can be performed prior to removing the sacrificial layer. In alternative embodiments, after the protective sacrificial layer is applied, the bulk of the coverglass can be dry-etched using a very aggressive anisotropic etching that etches primarily in the z-direction. In this embodiment, the etching can be patterned using photolithography to create rounded corners or any other shape. The photoresist can then be removed.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Steve Porter Hotelling, John Z. Zhong, Joseph Edward Clayton

Publication number: 20110100727Abstract: A touch sensitive device having a dielectric layer between a cover layer and a touch sensor layer is disclosed. The dielectric layer can reduce a negative pixel effect associated with poor grounding of an object touching the device. The dielectric layer can reduce a capacitance per unit area of the device to less than about 0.0305 picofarads per square millimeter, thereby reducing the negative pixel effect. The dielectric layer can have a thickness of about 0.50 millimeters or more and/or a dielectric constant of about 2.3 or less to reduce the negative pixel effect.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Inventors: Shin John Choi, Joseph Edward Clayton, Patrick Jee Phone Tang

Patent number: 6907913Abstract: A device and method for mounting a tire (20) on a wheel (22) wherein the wheel is secured to a mounting table (48) and the tire is secured between the fingers (62) of a pivot arm (54). The pivot arm swings the tire into a position over the wheel wherein a sector of the tire beads (30 and 32) are laterally opposite the radial perimeter surface (38) of the wheel. The pivot arm is then advanced toward the mounting table so that the sector of the tire beads (30 and 32) contacts the radial perimeter surface (38) that is defined between the flanges (42 and 44) of the wheel (22). A button arm (66) advances toward the wheel (22) in an axial direction to cause a second sector of the tire beads (30 and 32) to pass over one of the wheel flanges (42 or 44) and position the tire beads within the second sector within a well (40) that is defined between the flanges (42 and 44) of the tire (22). The pivot arm then releases the tire and the button arm retracts from the tire.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2003Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignee: C & J Industries, Inc.Inventors: Kevin L.

Patent number: 6449629Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an adder having a first adder circuit for receiving a portion of the operands to be summed, along with corresponding carry-in inputs. The first adder circuit provides a sum output and carry-out outputs. A second adder circuit receives another portion of the operands to be summed, along with corresponding carry-in inputs. Multiplexers between the first and second adder circuits determine whether the carry-in inputs to the second adder circuit are the same the carry-in inputs to the first adder circuit or whether the carry-in inputs to the second adder circuit are independent.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 1999Date of Patent: September 10, 2002Assignee: Agere Systems Guardian Corp.Inventor: Edward Clayton Morgan

Patent number: 5646451Abstract: A multifunctional chip includes first and second electrically isolated bonding pads. The chip also includes a control circuit coupled to the second bonding pad. The control circuit commands the chip to perform the first function if the first and second bonding pads are coupled. Alternatively, the control circuit commands the chip to perform the second function if the first and second bonding pads remain electrically isolated. The coupling or isolation between the first and second bonding pads is determined by wire bonds. Therefore, the use of wire bonds selects the function for the chip.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: July 8, 1997Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Ronald Lamar Freyman, Craig Joseph Garen, Clinton Hays Holder, Jr., Robert Nelson Kershaw, Edward Clayton Morgan
