  • Publication number: 20070077811
    Abstract: An integrated connector in accordance with the present invention is disclosed which can be connected to two separate data and power plugs or to one integrated data and power plug. Although the connector visually appears to the end user as two distinct ports (data and DC power), it is a single, unified connector from the system's perspective. This design facilitates precise mechanical alignment when a single integrated plug, with both data and DC power, is interfaced with the connector. However, since the single integrated connector presents two ports to the user, it also allows the individual interfaces to be utilized with their own respective plug.

  • Publication number: 20070043725
    Abstract: Feedback responsive input arrangements are presented where arrangements includes: a sensor in mechanical communication with a surface layer, the sensor configured to generate electronic signals in response to applied forces exerted upon the surface layer; a processing module configured to convert electronic signals into user-defined programmatic dimensions; and a tactile feedback response component configured to actuate in response to electronic signals. In some embodiments, user defined programmatic dimensions are selected from the group consisting of: a state dimension, a magnitude dimension, and a temporal dimension. In some embodiments, the processing module is further configured to process user-defined programmatic dimensions into user-defined programmatic actions. In some embodiments, user-defined programmatic actions are coupled to graphical environments, the graphical environments configured to provide a graphic feedback response based on user-defined programmatic actions.
