Patent number: 10626056Abstract: A construction comprising a sintered polycrystalline super-hard layer having mutually opposite reinforced boundaries, each of which is bonded to a respective reinforcement structure, in which the super-hard layer includes polycrystalline diamond (PCD) material or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) material. The construction will be configured such that the equivalent circle diameter of each reinforced boundary is at least ten times the mean thickness of the super-hard layer between them. The reinforcement structures will be substantially free of material having a melting point of less than 2,000 degrees Celsius, at least adjacent the reinforced boundaries.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2014Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Element Six LimitedInventor: Karl Bernt-Ola Sandström

Patent number: 8982057Abstract: In an information management system for handling digital position data recorded by an electronic pen, the pen is controlled to convert recordings of a first code on a product to position data in a coordinate system, to convert recordings of a second code to input data, and to process the position data on the basis of the input data. The input data may define one or more functional areas in the coordinate system, and the pen may map the position data against the input data and take appropriate action if the position data is deemed to fall within a functional area. This allows the pen to be dynamically provided with a description of all or parts of the functional layout of a product, thereby reducing the need of the pen to pre-store such descriptions for all products. Encryption or usage may also be controlled based on data encoded by the second code. The product may be generated, via a computer-implemented method, to include the first code, the second code and any supporting graphics.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Anoto ABInventors: Stefan Lynggaard, Johan Zander, Ola Sandström, Magnus Hollström

Patent number: 8094139Abstract: An electronic pen capable of recording position data representative of its movement runs a time handling method. In this method, a counter is operated to sequentially generate a monotonous sequence of counter values. Further, a time calculator is operated to generate a current time value. Also, a control device is operated to derive a current counter value from the counter and the current time value from the time calculator, and to associate at least a subset of the position data with the current counter value and the current time value. If each subset defines a pen stroke, counter values may represent the order in which pen strokes were created. The pen may allow an external device to arbitrarily adjust the time calculator, e.g. to reflect a local time, since the resulting time values need not be used to determine the mutual order of the pen strokes.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2006Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Anoto ABInventors: Daniel Bergström, Ola Sandstrom

Publication number: 20080296074Abstract: In an information management system for handling digital position data recorded by an electronic pen, the pen is designed to operate essentially independently of other system components. The pen is controlled to incorporate the position data into a data file object suitable for storage in a file system, and to expose the file object to an external data handler. The data file object may then be transported in the system from the external data handler in a sequential chain of transfers, with each transfer being independent of other transfers. The pen may be controlled to convert recordings of a first code on a product to one or more absolute positions in a coordinate system, to convert recordings of a second code to data indicative of a functional layout of the product, the data defining one or more functional areas in the coordinate system, and to map the absolute position(s) against the data to identify if the absolute position(s) falls within the functional area(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2005Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: Anoto ABInventors: Magnus Hollstron, Stefan Lynggaard, Johan Zander, Ola Sandstrom

Publication number: 20080198146Abstract: An electronic pen for recording of handwritten or hand-drawn information has a control unit and a memory. The control unit registers pen movements across at least one base, stores a plurality of digital pen strokes in the memory as a function of said movements, and supplies a set of the digital pen strokes for processing. The digital pen strokes include a first type, which is processed as graphical information constituting the information to be recorded, and a second type, which is processed as instructions for the processing of digital pen strokes of the first type. The electronic pen also has session-determining means adapted to detect a current working session of the pen. The control unit indicates, for the processing of the set of digital pen strokes, the working session during which the respective digital pen strokes have been input.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2008Publication date: August 21, 2008Inventors: Mattias Bryborn, Ola Sandstrom

Publication number: 20080088607Abstract: In a system for managing information from electronic pens, each electronic pen includes a memory which is designed to store controlling software and a set of templates. Each template associates pen positions with functionality implemented by the controlling software. In a method and arrangement of controlling operation of electronic pens, a separate set of template versions are generated for each of a plurality of different versions of the controlling software. A pen, which stores a given version of the controlling software, is provided with a corresponding set, in which all template versions suitably indicates functionality which is fully implemented by the given version of the software.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2005Publication date: April 17, 2008Inventors: Ola Sandstrom, Bjorn Fransson, Marianne Lindstrom, Daniel Witalis, Lars Brorsson, Stefan Lynggaard
