  • Publication number: 20040143348
    Abstract: Multiple methods of using two sensors to move an object in a one dimensional environment, a two dimensional environment or a three dimensional environment. A method of using two sensors to move a cursor in a secondary mode and edit data in a third mode. A method of using two sensors to edit changes. A method of using two sensors to move a cursor in two axis graphic arts programs. A method of using two sensors to move an object in two directions, three directions, four directions, eight directions, ten directions or fourteen directions. A method of using two sensors to increase or decrease the speed of movement of an object.

  • Publication number: 20040001734
    Abstract: An eight bit binary code, read from left to right, used as a system and method for multi-lingual communication on eight sensors, as an eight dot braille arrangement or as a method of finger braille communication for deaf-blind individuals. Vowels are produced on a first set of four sensors combined with an unused second set of four sensors. Consonants are produced on a second set of four sensors combined with the consonant's preceding binary vowel chord produced on the first set of four sensors. The right thumb sensor produces a space when used independently, or a shift function when used simultaneously with a vowel or consonant chord. Punctuation is produced on a second set of four sensors combined with an unused first set of four sensors. Numbers are produced on a first set of four sensors combined with a second set of four activated sensors.

  • Publication number: 20030025618
    Abstract: This invention relates to a novel and logical way of using twelve sensors for data representation or data entry coding. This invention also relates to a method of producing alphanumeric data using short duration or long duration twelve sensor activation, simultaneous activation and/or sequential activation. Activating one of the ten numbered sensors produces numbers. Activating a first left sensor of a second set of three sensors exits the number mode and enters a data character mode. Activating a third right sensor of a second set of three sensors exits the data character mode and re-enters the number mode. The twelve sensor set enters a shiftable data character mode when a first left sensor of the second set of three sensors is activated two or three times. Activating a sensor of a first set of nine sensors in a data character mode produces a data character.
