Abstract: A touch screen controller includes input circuitry receiving touch data from the touch screen. Processing circuitry acquires touch data from the input circuitry in a self-capacitance sensing mode, locates a force island and locates a sense island. A length of the force island and a length of the sense island is calculated. If the length of the force island is greater than a threshold force length and if the length of the sense island is greater than a threshold sense length, then the product of the lengths is calculated, and if greater than a threshold size, designated a valid area. Touch data in the valid area is then acquired in mutual-capacitance sensing mode, and represents palm touch if a maximum strength value in the valid area is less than a maximum area threshold and if a minimum strength value in the valid area is greater than a minimum area threshold.

Abstract: A capacitive panel is scanned with an AC signal having pulses at a first frequency to produce a first frame of mutual capacitance data and pulses at a second frequency, different from the first frequency, to produce a second frame of mutual capacitance data. If neither the first nor second frames of mutual capacitance data is perturbed by noise, then data of the first and second frames of mutual capacitance data is averaged. The averaged data is then used in centroid processing.

Abstract: A data frame in a touch capacitive sensing circuit includes both mutual capacitance data and self capacitance data. The mutual capacitance data and self capacitance data of the frame are filtered to define mutual capacitance and self capacitance islands. Centroids of the mutual capacitance and self capacitance islands are calculated and then processed in a weighted mixing operation to produce a hybrid centroid that more accurately locates the coordinates of a detected touch/hover.

Abstract: A client computer may be configured to perform computer security operation services, such as malicious code scanning and protection against online threats, using one of several remotely located server computers. The client computer may be configured to determine an operational state of the server computers and determine a protection status of the client computer resulting from use of a server computer of a particular operational state. The protection status may have one of at least three levels and indicate vulnerability of the client computer. The client computer may determine the operational state of a server computer based on available bandwidth for network communication between the client computer and the server computer. The client computer may be configured to allow for automatic or manual selection of another server computer when the currently selected server computer results in the client computer having a protection status below a threshold level.

Abstract: A lighting system capable of adjusting color temperature is provided. The lighting system mainly comprises a light source module and a mixing assembly. The light source module produces red-color, blue-color, and green-color lights so as to control the color temperature of a white light resulted from mixing the color lights. The mixing assembly is located at a side of the light source module and comprises a first, a second, and a third mixing device sequentially arranged along the light transmission path. The function of the first and third mixing devices is for light mixing by causing the lights to undergo multiple internal reflections.
