Abstract: Apparatus and accompanying methods for the detection and subsequent destruction or disablement of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) while maintaining a satisfactory level of human safety. Operationally, our inventive method and apparatus detects the IED using one or more methods including: detecting internal battery components; detecting magnetic signature(s) of the IED; detecting a characteristic energy spectrum of the IED; and/or detecting characteristic chemical signatures of the device(s). Once detected, the device may be further characterized and then subsequently deactivated and/or destroyed by a shaped pulse charge directed at the device or its power source (battery) from a safe distance.

Abstract: An integrated touch screen and display device includes a polarizer with a layer of transparent conductive material deposited thereon. A touch screen controller is coupled to electrodes of the transparent conductive layer to detect the location of touches by, for example, a finger or stylus. A method for producing an integrated touch screen and display device includes applying a transparent conductive coating to an outer surface of a polarizer of a display device, creating electrodes in the conductive coating, and coupling the electrodes to a touch screen controller. A double super twisted nematic display that includes a capacitive touch panel integrated into a compensation cell of the display is also provided herein.

Abstract: An computer enclosure includes a chassis having a bottom wall and a rear wall perpendicular to the bottom wall, a cover coupled to the rear wall of the chassis, two securing posts configured to extend through securing holes of the rear wall protruding from the cover, and a securing member pivotally attached to the rear wall of the chassis and capable of being rotated about a pivot axis. The securing member includes two opposite extending blocking ends for respectively engaging with the two securing posts of the cover, in which one blocking end is connected to a resilient member to provide an elastic force for urging the securing member to engage with the securing posts.

Abstract: A capacitive touch screen panel includes top and bottom ITO coated glass sheets that may both be connected to detection electronics (e.g., a controller) by way of a single, normal flexible printed circuit connector. The ITO coated surface of each of the top and bottom glass sheets may face each other and a transparent material such as an optically clear adhesive may be disposed between the top and bottom glass sheets. In some embodiments, a number of spacers may be disposed between the top and bottom glass sheets to maintain a desired gap between the sheets. In other embodiments, the single, normal flexible printed circuit connector may generally reside in a single plane.

Abstract: A blade enclosure includes a chassis comprising a sidewall and a front wall substantially perpendicular to the sidewall, a mounting bracket secured on the sidewall of the chassis, a bezel secured to the front wall of the chassis, the bezel comprising a panel substantially parallel to the front wall of the chassis and a side plate connected to the panel. An opening is defined at a joint of the panel and the side plate, and an ID case substantially parallel to the sidewall of the chassis is insertable in the chassis from the opening, the ID case having an information piece and a mounting piece received in the mounting bracket and slide therein. An end of the information piece aligned with an outer surface of the panel of the bezel is capable of being exposed outside from the opening of the bezel.

Abstract: A cross-module detection system and method for detecting and monitoring control flow transfers between software modules in a computer system. The system and method detect and monitor control flows entering and exiting the software modules. For a particular module, a checking model is extracted from the binary file of that module. In addition, a relaxed shadow stack is generated. If the module is an original module, meaning that the control flow originated from that module, then the checking model is used to check the validity of the control flow transfer. Otherwise, the relaxed shadow stack is used. An interception module is used to intercept and terminate invalid control flow transfers. If an invalid control flow transfer is detected, then the transfer is terminated. Otherwise, the control flow transfer is allowed to continue.

Abstract: A sensory system for determining the orientation of an object, wherein the sensory system includes a plurality of non-uniformly spaced waveguide sensors or array(s) of waveguide sensors. The non-uniformly spaced waveguide sensors are responsive to received radio frequency signals wherein the received power of the signals is dependent upon the orientation of the waveguide(s).

Abstract: A single chip integrated circuit 200 is disclosed which includes logic circuitry 202, memory circuitry 204, and a bus 300. First bus control circuitry 302 controls the exchange of signals between logic circuitry 202 and bus 300. Second bus control circuitry 303 controls the exchange of signals between memory circuitry 204 and bus 300. Third bus control circuitry 306 is included which controls the exchange of signals between bus 300 and at least one test pin 206. Mode control circuitry 205 is operable as control circuitry 302, 303, and 306. In the operating mode, mode control circuitry 205 activates first bus control circuitry 302 and second bus control circuitry 303. In a memory test mode, mode control circuitry 205 activates second bus control circuitry 303 and third bus control circuitry 306 and deactivates first bus control circuitry 302.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a waterproof structure for computer key switch, especially a waterproof structure which comprising an upper protective cap and a lower protective cap, wherein the upper protective cap protecting the part of the computer key switch above the printed circuit board, the post of the computer key can be inserted into a fitting hole of the upper protective cap, the inner wall of the fitting hole contacting tightly with the post of the computer key, the lower protective cap covering the part of the computer key under the printed circuit board, therefore the whole computer key switch can be protected by the waterproof structure so as to prevent water or dust from penetrating into the computer key switch, when inserting the post into the fitting hole of the upper protective cap, the fitting hole can be supported with a leading mold so as to provide a quick inserting method.
