  • User interface for an earbud device
    Patent number: 10771882
    Abstract: Implementations generally relate to a user interface for an earbud device. In some implementations, a method includes detecting contact of a finger of a user on a touch user interface of an earbud device. The method further includes determining a contact pattern based on movement of the finger on the touch user interface. The method further includes mapping the contact pattern to a predetermined command. The method further includes executing the predetermined command based on the mapping.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for testing active matrix liquid crystal by measuring voltage due to charge in a supplemental capacitor
    Patent number: 5377030
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an active matrix array substrate having a plurality of pixel drive cells, each pixel drive cell includes a pixel switching element and a capacitor element connected to the pixel switching element in series. The method comprising the inspection steps of storing a charge in the capacitor element and detecting the charge stored in the capacitor element by measuring the voltage and comparing the voltage measured with a reference voltage obtained with a good pixel.
