Abstract: Determining locations of electro-optical pens. A disclosed example includes, a distance determiner to determine a distance from a pen to a scribing plane at a plurality of points to produce a plurality of distance measurements, a tilt orientation determiner to determine a tilt orientation of the scribing plane relative to the pen based on the plurality of distance measurements, a plane of view corrector to, based on the tilt orientation of the scribing plane, correct a plane of view associated with at least one of the first perspective and the second perspective, and a coordinate determiner to determine coordinates of the pen based on the corrected plane of view. A location determiner determines the location of the pen on a display based on the coordinates.

Abstract: Styli for generating alert notifications to prevent unintentional marking of interactive devices are disclosed. A disclosed stylus includes a housing and a processor. The housing is to interchangeably receive a physically marking nib and an electronic marking nib. The processor is carried by the housing. The processor is to determine a received nib is the physically marking nib. The processor is further to determine a distance between the stylus and an interactive device satisfies a threshold. The processor is further to generate an alert notification based on the received nib being the physically marking nib and the distance between the stylus and the interactive device satisfying the threshold.

Abstract: A display may include a viewing area and a border about the viewing area. The border is visibly opaque and near infrared transparent. An encoded pattern underlies the border.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein involve calibrating an input device to a display using the input device. An example method includes determining first coordinates of a position-encoded film corresponding to a location of an input device relative to the position-encoded film of a display of a computing device based on first position points of the position-encoded film, determining second coordinates of a pixel array corresponding to the location of the input device relative to the pixel array of the display based on a first reference pixel of the display, measuring a first offset between the first coordinates of the position-encoded film and the second coordinates of the pixel array, and calculating a calibration transformation to control the computing device based on the first offset.

Abstract: In example implementations, a touch display and methods for producing the same is provided. The touch display includes a touch display cover glass, a liquid crystal module, a touch sensor and an emissive dot film. The touch sensor may be located between the touch display cover glass and the liquid crystal module. The emissive dot film may be optically bonded to the touch sensor and located between the touch display cover glass and the liquid crystal module.

Abstract: Positional input systems and methods are provided. Using a handheld device comprising a detector, to which display of a plurality of displays a detector is proximate may be determined. Using the detector, at least a part of an optical pattern disposed on the display to which the detector is proximate may be detected. The part of the optical pattern may correspond to a location on the display.

Abstract: Positional input systems and methods are provided. A positional input method can include passing (210) a polarized light generated by a source through a predetermined pattern of visibly transparent polarizing elements disposed on the surface of a display device. The method further includes detecting (220) a change in the polarization state of the polarized light corresponding to a location on the display device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to loading boot data. In an embodiment, a device loads boot data from a first portion of a first non-volatile memory to complete a first booting of the device. The first portion of the first non-volatile memory is then released to allow the device to overwrite the first portion. Next, the boot data is written to the first non-volatile memory before the device enters a reduced power state. The written boot data is to be loaded from the first non-volatile memory to complete a second booting of the device, if the second booting is initiated.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to segmenting and pinning a first non-volatile memory to store cache information. In an embodiment, the first non-volatile memory is divided into a plurality of segments. Then, a first type of software of a plurality of types of software is pinned to a first segment of the plurality of segments. The first pinned segment stores the cache information associated with the first type of software.
