  • Patent number: 10734820
    Abstract: Electric power is provided to motor vehicles via a respective outlet station. A number of outlet stations are connected to a common electric power supply, each with an interface towards a control node. Over the interfaces, the outlet stations receive operation commands from and send status messages to the control node. The control node allocates a fraction of the common electric power supply to each outlet station to which a motor vehicle is connected. The fractions are allocated such that a sum of all fractions represent a total delivered power, which is less than or equal to a predefined maximum level for the common electric power supply. If an interface between an outlet station and the control node is broken, the outlet station is configured to apply a power supply scheme according to which the outlet station is only allowed to deliver electric power up to a level prescribed by a predefined principle stored in each of the outlet stations.

  • Publication number: 20110273370
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a device for entering control signals to a peripheral unit. The device contains means which sense movements of the device relative to an essentially flat surface, such that movements of the device on the essentially flat surface fills the same function as the movements of a standard computer mouse. The part of the device graspable by a user is rotatable in a plane relative to the part of the device containing means for sensing movements relative to the essentially flat surface. The invention also concerns a combination of such a device and a peripheral unit.

  • Publication number: 20060176268
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for inputting control signals to a peripheral unit. The device is designed to be able to be used in both a first and a second working position. In the first working position it is worn on a first hand of a user. It comprises at least a first input member which functions as a pointer device in said first working position. In the second working position the device is arrangable on a surface and movable across this surface, similar to a standard computer mouse. The device comprises a sensing member (which may or may not be identical with the first input member), which senses the movement of said device in said second working position. The invention also concerns the combination of such a device and a peripheral unit.

  • Publication number: 20050052291
    Abstract: The invention concerns a portable data input device. The device comprises a holding member designed to be held by or attached to a first hand of a user of the device in order to hold the device onto said first hand. The device comprises a first plurality of input members arranged on the back of the first hand and/or on the sides of the first hand, such that these input members may be easily manipulated by a plurality of fingers of the second hand of the user. The device also comprises a second plurality of input members arranged on the palm-side of the first hand, such that these input members may be easily manipulated by a plurality of fingers of the first hand. With the help of the input members of the device, essentially all the basic symbols of a standard computer keyboard can be generated. The invention also concerns the use of such a device.

  • Publication number: 20050052416
    Abstract: A primary pointing device controls the position of a cursor on a digital screen by means of primary position commands (C1). The primary position commands (C1) are generated by relative movement (D11; D12) between the primary pointing device and a substantially flat external surface, such as a tabletop or mouse pad. The primary pointing device is adapted to dock with a secondary pointing device, which may also control the position of the cursor on the digital screen. Bearing registering user input controls in the secondary pointing device generate secondary position commands (C2), which are fed to the digital processor for causing the cursor to move on the digital screen. Furthermore, the primary pointing device is adapted to dock with the secondary pointing device.

  • Publication number: 20040263358
    Abstract: The invention concerns a portable unit comprising a hand attachment device, suited to be easily attachable to and removable from a first hand of a person using the device, and at least a first input member arranged on said device for inputting signals to a peripheral unit. The attachment device comprises a U-shaped portion, which thus has first and second at least relatively straight parts and a bent part connecting said first and second parts. The attachment device is designed to be attachable to said first hand such that the first part is located essentially on the back of the hand, the second part is located essentially on the front of the hand while the bent part extends from the back of the hand to the front of the hand in the area between the thumb and the index finger of said first hand. The invention also concerns the use of such a unit.

  • Publication number: 20040051694
    Abstract: The invention concerns a portable device for inputting control signals to a peripheral unit. The device comprises a holding member designed to be attached to a first hand of a user of the device so as to retain the device in a predetermined manner on said first hand. At least a first input member is arranged on said holding member. The first input member is arranged for inputting signals to the peripheral unit in order to perform the same or a similar function as a joystick or as the movement of a standard computer mouse. Said input member is arranged on said holding member such that when the holding member is arranged as intended on said first hand, the first input member is arranged within a predetermined area of said first hand. The invention also concerns the use of such a device.
