  • Publication number: 20170305503
    Abstract: A boat cover is built up from a series of overlapped wide strips of a covering material extending from side to side over the boat. The cover material includes a layer of felt bonded to the inside of a PVC sheeting leaving a narrow strip defining covered with the overlapped areas. An adhesive film, which is covered with a peelable non-adhesive cover. The overlapping areas are bonded together with a strippable adhesive film. A hem piece is attached to bottom portions of the strips encircling the boat hull, with a draw element within the hem tightened to securely grip the boat hull. Tie downs may further secure the cover to a boat trailer or other support for the boat.

  • Patent number: 8605053
    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting user input includes receiving a user input at an input arrangement of a user interface. The input arrangement has at least one piezoelectric sensor that generates an electric signal in response to the input. The electric signal is processed to determine the presence of the input. The processing may indicate the magnitude of the force of the input, in addition to the input's location. An output arrangement of the user interface generates an output in response to the processing. The output may be a haptic, audio or visual output.

  • Patent number: 8305200
    Abstract: A device and method are provided to drive piezoelectric elements in haptic applications. In one embodiment, a pattern generator provides user programmable PWM waveforms to a driver. The load of the driver is an inductor in series with the piezoelectric element. The filtration of the inductor in series with the capacitance of the piezoelectric element suppresses the high-frequency components of the PWM pulse train, and recovers a value commensurate with the duty cycle of the PWM pulse train. The resulting waveform across the piezoelectric element is converted to physical motion, thereby creating a haptic effect on a user interface. Advantageously, there is reduced power loss, reduced switching induced noise, and a more haptic rich environment.

  • Publication number: 20120249474
    Abstract: The present invention may provide a device including a haptic driver to drive a coupled actuator causing the actuator to generate a vibratory haptic effect. A touch screen may display a user interface and may include a sensor to detect user interaction with the touch screen within a predetermined range above the touch screen. A controller may calculate a proximity event based on the detected user interaction above the touch screen, and to control haptic driver operations according to the proximity event.

  • Publication number: 20120249475
    Abstract: Techniques to provide a three-dimensional (“3D”) user interface (“UI”) processing system for a device that may include at least one sensor, a 3D display, and a controller. The controller may include a memory, which may store instructional information, and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive sensor data from the sensor(s) and to interpret sensor data according to the instructional information. The processor may generate a user interface command(s) and transmit the command(s) to the 3D display to control and/or manipulate the 3D display. The processor may also generate host commands to control and/or execute applications within a host system of the device.
