Abstract: We describe a touch sensitive image display device including: an image projector to project a displayed image onto a surface; a touch sensor light source to project a plane of light above the displayed image; a camera to capture a touch sense image from light scattered from the plane of light by an approaching object; and a signal processor to process the touch sense image to identify a location of the object. The touch sensor light source is amplitude modulated, and signal processor is further configured to process a plurality of the touch sense images captured when the touch sensor light source is off to compensate for ambient light in a touch sense image captured when the touch sensor light source is on.

Abstract: A touch sensitive device, the device comprising: a touch sensor light source to project a plane of light above a surface; a camera directed to capture a touch sense image from a region including at least a portion of said plane of light, said touch sense image comprising light scattered from said plane of light by a plurality of said objects simultaneously approaching or touching said surface; a signal processor coupled to said camera, to process a said touch sense image from said camera to identify a lateral location of each of said objects; and an output object position output, to provide output object positions for said plurality of objects; and wherein said signal processor is further configured to: input a succession of said touch sense images; process each said touch sense image to identify a plurality of candidate object touch positions; and filter said candidate object touch positions from said successive touch sense images to link said candidate object touch positions to previously identified output

Abstract: A scheduler for allocating communication resources to terminals that are operating in a communication network comprising a plurality of cells, the scheduler comprising a macro-scheduler configured to, for the plurality of cells, allocate the communication resources available to each cell between the terminals in that cell using a first scheduling algorithm and a micro-scheduler configured to allocate the communication resources available to one of the cells between the terminals in that cell using: (i) the macro-scheduler's allocation of communication resources between those terminals; and (ii) a second scheduling algorithm.
