Patent number: 11327623Abstract: The detection of multiple manual interactions upon a touch-pad is shown. Drive lines intersect a scan lines and each intersection between a drive line and a scan line includes an element of variable resistance. A scanning processor energises the drive lines and monitors the scan lines. The scanning processor is configured to identify positions of manual interaction, validate identified positions to identify potentially erroneous positions and remove positions identified as erroneous. However, removed positions are re-introduced when they are not in the vicinity of other identified positions.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Peratech Holdco LtdInventors: Michael Robert Garrett, Joel Erik Christoffer Metelius

Patent number: 11228311Abstract: Illumination functionality is combined with a touch-sensing functionality. A first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor are located on a substrate. A pressure-sensitive element (113) is connected across the conductors and a light-emitting device (114) is also connected between the conductors. A control circuit alternates between energizing the pressure-sensitive element with current flowing in a first direction and driving the light-emitting device with current flowing in an opposite direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 18, 2022Assignee: Peratech Holdco LtdInventors: Themistoklis Afentakis, Michael Robert Garrett, Michael Dean Levin, Joel Erik Christoffer Metelius

Patent number: 10928968Abstract: A detection element (104) is energised. The detection element is substantially non-conductive without an application of pressure and becomes increasingly conductive in response to pressure application. A processor (101) is interrupted from a low-power dissipation state in response to a first detectable application of pressure by the detection-element. The processor is then configured to monitor further pressure applied to the same detection element.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Peratech Holdco LtdInventors: Michael Robert Garrett, Joel Erik Christoffer Metelius

Patent number: 10134549Abstract: A key that includes a body with an optically transmissive or light permeable region and an optical film coupled to or carried by the light permeable region is disclosed. The key also includes a resilient structure coupled to the body. The key can be assembled or coupled to, or disposed relative or adjacent to, a display screen. The key also includes a switch actuator (e.g., an electromechanical switch actuator or contact element). Displacement of the key, more specifically the body of the key, displaces the switch actuator for actuating a switch. The resilient structure is configured to bias the body at a first position. The body can be actuated or displaced from the first position to a second position for effectuating corresponding displacement of the switch actuator and actuation of the switch. The resilient structure provides a positive tactile feedback upon user-directed or user-controlled actuation or displacement of the body.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: RAZER (ASIA-PACIFIC) PTE. LTD.Inventors: John Wilson, Robert Garrett, Aaron Julin

Patent number: 9480305Abstract: An improved cleat design is provided for article of footwear. At least one cleat is arranged on a bottom surface of the outsole, such that the cleat is disposed partially within the outsole and extends substantially perpendicular from the bottom surface of the outsole. The cleat is defined as a unitary member having two planar surface angled at a junction toward each other. The cleat further includes an aperture formed therein and extending across the junction as well as a bridge extending between the two planar surfaces and substantially spanning the aperture, where a portion of the outsole encases the bridge and extends through the aperture in a direction substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the outsole to retain the cleat in a desired position relative to the outsole.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2015Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: Under Armour, Inc.Inventors: Mary Corinne Koch, Robert Garrett Cropp, Jr.

Patent number: 9011137Abstract: A mold and method for making a hollow core concrete block. The mold has two opposing side walls; a bottom wall; a front wall; a top side with an opening through which the block can be removed from the mold; a cover, and a rear side through which liquid, such as concrete, can be poured into the mold. Extending from the two side walls are a pair of trunnions about which the mold is rotatable, such that when the mold is suspended by the trunnions and the mold is empty, gravity rotates the mold from a block-removal orientation in which the top side faces upwards to a mold-filling orientation in which the rear side faces upwards. The trunnions are also positioned such that when the mold is filled with the liquid, gravity rotates the mold from the mold-filling orientation to the block-removal orientation.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Magnum Forms Inc.Inventors: Robert Garrett, Arthur Garrett
