Abstract: An example device comprises: a head-mounted display; a housing for the head-mounted display, the housing including an external surface; sensors to monitor a wearer of the head-mounted display; a visual indicator at the external surface; and a controller. The controller is generally to: control subsets of the sensors to be on or off based on respective permissions for usage of subsets of the sensors; and control the visual indicator to indicate respective status of the subsets of the sensors.

Abstract: An example of a flexible sensor stack includes a flexible film comprising a conformal polymer film or a flexible glass film. The flexible sensor stack includes first and second conformal poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) films formed over the flexible film and including sensor traces to provide a flexible touch/pen (T/P) sensor surface, wherein the flexible sensor stack is bendable to conform to a non-flat attachment surface.

Abstract: In some examples, a controller is to track markings of an input element in a content area defined on a medium without electronic input capability, and track an input made with the input element in a file handling control area defined on the medium, the input made with the pen in the file handling control area comprising information relating to a file and is to cause saving of a representation of the markings made in the content area according to the information relating to the file.

Abstract: In some examples, a non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor to store display information in a private memory hidden from an operating system (OS), and divisibly virtualize a contiguous planar display into a first area as a main display and a second area as a second display separate from the main display, where the continuous planar display is divisibly virtualized responsive to exposure of the display information to the OS or the display information being directly provided to a graphics processing unit (GPU).

Abstract: A cane having: a primary leg with a top end and an opposed bottom end; a handle coupled to the top end of the primary leg; and at least two secondary legs that are each pivotably coupled to the primary leg between the top and bottom ends of the primary leg. Each of the at least two secondary legs is pivotable between a first, retracted position and a second, deployed position.

Abstract: A display device having a contiguous planar display is operable in a selectable mode in which the planar display has a first area functioning as a primary display and a second area coplanar with and smaller than the first area functioning as a secondary display separate from the primary display. A computing device is to operate the display device in the selectable mode by using the first area of the planar display as a primary graphical user interface (GUI) area and by using the second area of the planar display in the selectable mode as a secondary GUI area isolated from the primary GUI area.

Abstract: A visual cue system includes an input device, and a display device communicatively coupled to the input device to present a representation of the input device and a representation of a hand of a user of the input device as the user moves the input device and the user's hand. The representation of the hand of the user provides a visual cue to the user.

Abstract: An adjustable stand for rotatably and releaseably supporting a flat panel display is disclosed together with a display device usable with the stand. The display includes a boss projecting from a rear surface thereof, which boss is received in an arc-shaped channel in a plate portion of the stand. The stand further includes two hingedly connected legs and selective locking devices for controlling the angle between the legs, thereby allowing the stand hold the display in a variety of orientations with respect to a horizontal support surface.

Abstract: A stylus for use in a coordinate input system (e.g. digitizer tablet system) includes a finger wheel. The degree of rotation of the finger wheel by the user determines the extent to which a chosen graphical parameter (e.g. line thickness, color, shading, gray scale, etc.) is varied. Thus, a user can easily vary the graphical parameter while drawing by merely rotating the finger wheel about its fixed rotational axis. Preferably, rotation of the wheel causes an intermediate gear wheel with teeth thereon to rotate which in turn causes a potentiometer to detect the degree of rotation of the finger wheel. In alternative embodiments of this invention, a touchpad for inputting finger position and/or finger pressure information may be provided on the side of the stylus instead of the finger wheel.

Abstract: A digitizer pointer for use in conjunction with a digitizer system. The pointer is shaped so as to reduce finger/hand fatigue of users manipulating the pointer over and/or across a digitizer tablet. In certain embodiments, an enlarged grip area may flare toward the bottom which helps to prevent the pointer from sliding out of the user's hand. In certain other embodiments, a textured grip area is provided to improve the user's ability to hold onto and control the pointer. In yet further embodiments, a flare is provided near the tip of the pointer in order to reduce the force required by fingers of the user to manipulate and hold the pointer.
