  • Patent number: 7633300
    Abstract: A method for evaluating touch signals on a touch unit which has two resistance foils (1, 2). The current (IX, IY) resulting from applying a given measurement voltage (UX, UY) to at least one of the resistance foils (1, 2) is measured and stored as a desired current value (IXS, IYS). Especially after the presence of at least one touch has been confirmed, the actual current (IX<IY) flowing in the other resistance foil (1, 2) is measured when the test voltage is again applied to at least one of the resistance foils (1, 2), and it is compared with the previously established desired current value (IXS, IYS) for this resistance foil (1, 2). In the event that the actual current (IX, IY) measured in the at least one resistance foil (1, 2) exceeds the desired current value (IXS, IYS), it is judged that a double touch occurred (FIG. 8).

  • Patent number: 7263626
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for synchronizing computer clocks in networks used for the transmission of information according to which information is dispatched with a time stamp when being dispatched and which is re-transmitted with a time stamp in a confirmation of receipt. The time stamps are inserted in the outgoing or arriving data packet by a clock module (8) mounted downstream of a network controller (4, 10) once said network controller has authorized transmission. A CPU (2) generates actuator signals that are provided with an identifier and that correct the clock modules (8) on the basis of a comparison between the time stamps in a confirmation of receipt of the addressee of the information and the time stamp of the corresponding transmitted information.
