  • TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION AND NOISE AVOIDANCE FOR RESONATOR PEN
    Publication number: 20210349554
    Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for characterizing user inputs. A first input object may be detected in a sensing region of an input device. A resonance frequency of the first input object may be determined. A first characteristic may be assigned to the first input object based at least in part on the resonance frequency of the first input object. User inputs provided by the first input object may be processed based at least in part on the first input object characteristic.
    Type: Application

  • TIME-SHIFTED VIDEO SIGNAL PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20030170003
    Abstract: A time-shifted video method has a real-time mode during which real-time video frames are delivered for display. In a time-shifted mode, time-shifted video frames are delivered for display. The time-shifted video frames are delayed relative to the real-time video frames. A real-time frame is paused during a transition from the real-time mode to the time-shifted mode.
