Patent number: 8269728Abstract: A media integration device associated with a touch system including a touch screen, comprises a media control module operative to receive media information from a plurality of devices and generate media data associated with each of the plurality of devices. The media control module selects one device from the plurality of devices for displaying media data associated with the one device on the touch screen. A program module is operatively coupled to the media control device and adapted to generate a graphical user interface including a first display on the touch screen for operationally controlling the selected one device from the touch screen.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2007Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: SMART Technologies ULCInventors: Stephen Bolt, James Rempel, Paul A. Auger

Patent number: 8067710Abstract: A tensioned touch panel includes a support structure having a substrate with a generally planer conductive surface disposed thereon and an insulating spacer generally about the periphery of the substrate. A pretensioned conductive member overlies the support structure. The spacer separates the conductive membrane and the conductive surface thereby to define an air gap therebetween. A conductive membrane is secured to the support structure under sufficient tension to inhibit slack from developing in the conductive membrane as a result of changes in environmental conditions. A method of assembling a tensioned touch panel is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: SMART Technologies ULCInventors: Paul A. Auger, Amir Butmir
