Abstract: A remote data capture system includes a host computing device and a client computing device communicatively coupled to the host computing device. A capture device is coupled to the client computing device. The capture device is configured to receive an electrical input signal from a sensor and convert the input signal to corresponding input data having a predetermined electronic data format. The client computing device selectably transmits the input data to the host computing device.

Abstract: A touch screen system has a single electrically non-conductive substrate having at least one electrically conductive pad disposed upon each of a first side and a second opposing side of the substrate. The pads are oriented generally orthogonally with respect to one another and include poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene material. The system further includes a controller having a touch switch interface electrically coupled to the pads and having at least one output. The controller generates an AC signal, the AC signal being electrically coupled from the controller to the pads through the touch switch interface, thereby generating an electrostatic field proximate the pads. The controller is configured to detect at the touch switch interface a change in the electrostatic field resulting from an actuating member placed in proximity to at least one of the pads. The controller provides a signal at the output corresponding to the change in the electrostatic field.

Abstract: A touch screen system has an electrically non-conductive substrate. At least one electrically conductive pad is disposed upon the substrate, and an electrically non-conductive cover is placed over the pad. The system further includes a controller having a touch switch interface and at least one output, the touch switch interface being electrically coupled to the pad. The controller generates an AC signal, the AC signal being electrically coupled from the controller to the pad through the touch switch interface, thereby generating an electrostatic field proximate the pad. The controller is also configured to detect at the touch switch interface a change in the electrostatic field resulting from an actuating member contacting the cover proximate the pad. The controller provides at the output a signal relating to the change in the electrostatic field.

Abstract: Flash lamp intensity control in which a small preflash lamp first exposes each document on the platen of an electrostatographic machine, a photosensor generates a signal representative of the intensity of the light reflected from the platen, and a controller increases power to the main flash exposure lamps in response to the signal where the measured intensity is less than the normal exposure intensity of the main flash lamps.
