  • Patent number: 10384129
    Abstract: An example system and method is provided for detecting a moment of impact and/or strength of a swing based on moving a hand-held device including an accelerometer arrangement. A moment and a magnitude of simulated striking of the object are determined based on one or more accelerometer arrangement outputs resulting from the moving of the hand-held device. Using one or more of aural, visual and tactile outputs, the striking of the object is simulated in accordance with the determined moment of simulated striking and the determined magnitude of the simulated striking.

  • Patent number: 10169219
    Abstract: Methods and systems for inferring call stacks in a program, such as a video game or simulation program, are described herein. The call stack data can be inferred using a database of previously captured call stacks along with a minimal set of identifiers that fingerprint each call stack. If just the minimal fingerprint can be captured during a subsequent profile, then the corresponding call stack can be inferred.

  • Patent number: 9925460
    Abstract: An example image processing system and method uses a control device including a movement detector. Gesture inputs corresponding to a gesture made by moving the control device are used for animation. An animation begins based on at least one gesture input received prior to completion of the gesture and the animation is modified based on at least one gesture input received after the beginning of the animation.

  • Patent number: 8409004
    Abstract: An example system and method controls a rotatable object on a display using a handheld control device comprising an accelerometer. The example system and method involve determining an orientation of the handheld control device using an interpolation of an output for a first axis of the accelerometer and an output for a second axis of the accelerometer. The rotation of the rotatable object is controlled based on the determined orientation.

  • Publication number: 20120222017
    Abstract: Analysis data from the execution of a computer program is collected. The analysis data may include samples of two different types of performance data from the execution of the computer program. Performance data may include sampled hardware performance counter data and sampled executing functions. The performance data is used to create a composite view of the data. The composite view may allow a user to efficiently correlate the different types of performance data by using a colored visual display.

  • Publication number: 20100004583
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses an improved electrotransport drug delivery device utilizing a hydrophobic modifier to prevent moisture condensation. Use of a hydrophobic modifier increases the hydrophobicity of coated parts of the device, reducing the amount of moisture uptake of the device during storage in a high humidity environment. In a further embodiment, a package of the improved electrotransport drug delivery device is provided. In addition, a method of reducing moisture condensation to an electrical device and a method of preserving an electrical device for an electrotransport drug delivery device are provided.
