Abstract: While one type of input, either a mouse input or a joystick input, may be preferred for one type of a game, it may not be preferred, or even compatible, for another type of a game. Introduced herein is a game controller that employs a dedicated input, which is capable of the absolute accuracy of a mouse input or trackball input, but is also capable of measuring how far off center the input is (e.g., how far off center it has moved), and can also return to center when released, as is present in a joystick input. The introduced game controller integrates a touch sensing trackball to enjoy the benefits of both the mouse type input and joystick type input, in a single dedicated input, providing a user freedom to play any type of game without worrying about the compatibility of their game controllers.

Abstract: Various embodiments include techniques for reducing high-frequency interference to a wireless communications channel emanating from a wired communications channel. The techniques are directed towards an application that determines a mode of a particular wired communications channel. The mode of the wired communications channel is indicative of the frequency ranges at which the interference is generated. The application further determines a frequency and/or bandwidth of the wireless communications channel. The application selects a slew rate that reduces the high frequency interference from the wired communications channel at the frequency and/or bandwidth of the wireless communications channel. The application thereby optimizes the reduction of the high-frequency interference from the particular wired communications channel to the particular wireless communications channel.

Abstract: An apparatus including an antenna having an active element and a parasitic element; and at least one support, where the antenna is at least partially on the at least one support, where the at least one support includes a first section coupled to a second different section, where the active element is at least partially on the first section, and where the first section is at least partially formed with a first manufacturing process and a first material. The parasitic element is at least partially on the second section, and the second section is at least partially formed with a second different manufacturing process and a second different material.

Abstract: An apparatus including an antenna; a first antenna carrier forming a first support substrate for a first portion of the antenna; and a different second antenna carrier forming a second support substrate for a second portion of the antenna. The first and second antenna carriers are coupled to each other. The antenna extends across a joint between the first and second antenna carriers.
