  • Publication number: 20230400926
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, a system may comprise a handheld device in electronic communication with a controller. The handheld device may comprise a housing defining an internal cavity and an orifice providing access to the internal cavity. A trigger may comprise an external and an internal surface. The trigger may be oriented to cover the orifice. A transfer member may be oriented in the internal cavity and coupled to the internal surface of the trigger. A force sensor may be oriented in the internal cavity and may engage a distal end of the transfer member and the internal surface of the trigger. A transfer roller may be oriented in the internal cavity and coupled to the distal end of the transfer member. A cam may be oriented in the internal cavity and may engage the transfer member. A motor may be oriented in the internal cavity and coupled to the cam.

  • Patent number: 9436844
    Abstract: A system-on-chip (SoC) is provided that includes a centralized access enablement circuit for controlling access to a plurality of security features for multiple hardware modules of the system. Progressive security states corresponding to different stages in a chip's design, manufacture and delivery are utilized to enable different access control settings for security features as a part moves from design to end-use. The access enablement circuit for a SoC implementing different security states provides individual access control settings for security features in the different security states. One-time programmable memory and register controls are provided in one embodiment that allow different access control settings for an individual security feature in the same or different security states of the system.
