  • Publication number: 20150213117
    Abstract: Systems and methods of downloading and rendering data from a server or other source on a user's computer system wherein the data is a set of nested data categories are disclosed. The set of nested data categories further comprise a set of active logic levels where the set of active logic levels may be dynamically changed, depending on the size of the browser that the user of the computer system may set. In one embodiment, the user's computer system has a desktop or laptop sized screen upon which to render data. If the user resizes the browser to be substantially the size of a mobile screen, then the present system may dynamically adjust the logic levels (e.g., changing the number of click targets within the browser) to better facilitate a scrolling experience within the browser.

  • Publication number: 20150062074
    Abstract: A sensing device includes a comparator, a first and a second variable capacitor unit. A first comparator input of the comparator is electrically coupled to a touch pad. The first variable capacitor unit is configured to charge the first comparator input such that the first comparator input has a first potential. The second variable capacitor unit is configured to charge a second comparator input of the comparator such that the second comparator input has a second potential. The comparator is configured for comparing the first potential and the second potential to generate a comparator output signal. In a condition of the touch pad being operated, the first variable capacitor unit is adjusted according to the comparator output signal to perform potential compensation for the first comparator input, or the second variable capacitor unit is adjusted according to the comparator output signal to perform potential compensation for the second comparator input.

  • Patent number: 8917062
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a charge control circuit for supplying power from an external power source to a first common node and charging a second common node from the first common node. A regulator circuit is coupled between the external power source and the first common node, and a transistor is coupled between the first common node and the second common node. The present invention detects an operation parameter of the transistor and controls an internal voltage source to generate a non-predetermined voltage difference accordingly. When the sum of the voltage at the second common node and the non-predetermined voltage is equal to or higher than the reference voltage, the voltage at the first common node is regulated to a level higher than the voltage at the second common node, and the transistor is in an optimum conductive state.
