  • Preventing water damage in portable devices
    Patent number: 9966755
    Abstract: A shut-off circuit interrupts the flow of power to the system circuit of a portable device, when liquids are detected within the portable device. Liquid sensors are placed proximate to the ports of the portable device. The ports may admit the flow of liquids, so the liquid sensors may detect the passage of liquids into the portable device. If the liquid sensors detect liquids entering the portable device, a shut-off circuit interrupts the flow of power from the battery to the system circuit.

  • SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MULTIPLE STIMULUS SENSORS FOR AN INPUT DEVICE
    Publication number: 20150212631
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for sensing input stimulus at an input device. The method includes the steps of configuring an input device comprising a first sensor layer and a second sensor layer to activate the first sensor layer and to deactivate the second sensor layer, where the second sensor layer is layered above the first sensor layer and associated with a stimulus device. When a request to activate the second sensor layer is received, the input device is configured to activate the second sensor layer to respond to stimulus received by the stimulus device and to deactivate the first sensor layer. A third sensor layer may be included in the input device and the third sensor layer may be associated with a different stimulus device.
