  • Patent number: 11914819
    Abstract: An assembly for holding and controlling curvature of a glass plate for an optical touch sensitive system is described. The assembly comprising a first frame element extending in a first plane and configured to extend at least partially around a panel; at least one second frame element extending in a second plane and forming a support portion for the plate, and at least one spacing element positioned at least partially between the support portion and the first frame element. The spacing element us configured to control a curvature of the first frame element and wherein the at least one second frame element is configured to engage the plate at the support portion. is attached to the first frame element, and is tiltable, by controlling the curvature of the rust frame element with said spacing element, to control a curvature of the plate.

  • Patent number: 11868568
    Abstract: A method for assembling a touch sensing apparatus comprising a display panel, a plate comprising a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, and a frame assembly, wherein the plate has a first curvature along at least a first edge of the top surface of the plate when uncoupled with the frame assembly. The method comprises the steps of arranging a plurality of light emitters alongside a periphery of the plate, the plurality of light emitters configured to emit light propagating over the top surface; arranging a plurality of detectors alongside the periphery of the plate, the plurality of detectors configured to receive light emitted from the plurality of light emitters; and coupling the display panel, the plate, and the frame assembly, wherein the step of coupling causes the first curvature of the plate to change to a second curvature.

  • Patent number: 8643375
    Abstract: A circuit system is disclosed. The system comprises a master circuitry, at least one slave circuitry which has a battery sensor for checking battery status of a power supply battery and a shut down mechanism for controlled shut down upon detection of low battery by the battery sensor, and a battery sensor manipulation circuit controlled by the master circuitry. The battery sensor manipulation circuit is arranged to manipulate sensed battery status for the battery sensor of at least one of the at least one slave circuitry to force the controlled shut down of the at least one of the at least one slave circuitry upon provision of a shut down control signal from the master circuitry. A method of controlling power management of such a circuit system is also disclosed.
