H02J 7/00
H02J 7/02
H02J 50/10
G06F 3/0354

Abstract:

A charging system for a peripheral device, such as a stylus, including orientation control. The charging system includes charging circuitry and magnets. The magnets are configured so that they attract the peripheral device to an engagement surface when it is in a first orientation relative to the engagement surface so that charging circuitry in a peripheral device portion couples with charging circuitry in a charger portion. The magnets are configured so that they also repel and rotate the peripheral device when it is in a second orientation relative to the engagement surface.

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G06F 3/038

Abstract:

One example provides a wireless wearable device including a flexible wearable base configured to be worn at a location of a skeletal joint, an electrostatic clutch including a first electrode, the first electrode having two or more first electrode sheets, each first electrode sheet having a core, a conductive layer formed on the core, and a dielectric coating formed on the conductive layer, and also having a common conductor to which each of the first electrode sheets are connected, and a second electrode having two or more second electrode sheets arranged alternately with the first electrode sheets in a stacked arrangement, a tensioner coupled to the electrostatic clutch, a battery, and control circuitry coupled to the electrostatic clutch and configured to generate a control signal to control an electrostatic force between the two or more first electrode sheets and the two or more second electrode sheets.

International Classification:

G06F 11/36
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Methods for configurable and proactive application diagnostics and recovery are performed by systems and devices. A diagnostics manager determines diagnostics packages corresponding to problems described in client device diagnostics requests. Session identifiers are generated and returned with diagnostics identifiers to clients which then provide the session identifiers and diagnostics identifiers to a service manager for session initiation. Diagnostics packages are located, retrieved, and provided back to the client by the service manager that invokes a client-side engine to execute diagnostics packages. Results are provided to the diagnostics system which determines additional packages to be executed by the engine during the same diagnostics session. Further, device-specific tokens are acquired by client devices which execute local diagnostic packages and acquire remote diagnostic packages for execution in the same session. Additionally, diagnostics packages provide their own user interfaces, and local packages are automatically executed upon invocation of help applications.

International Classification:

G06F 3/038
G06F 3/041
G06F 3/0354

Abstract:

A stylus pen is disclosed that can detect touch signals from a digitizer and dynamically determine which digitizer (e.g., make/model) generated the touch signals. The stylus pen can then switch to one of a plurality of candidate protocols, without interaction from the user, so as to communicate with the digitizer. The digitizer need not explicitly communicate what protocol it supports to the stylus pen. Rather, the stylus pen analyzes the digitizer waveforms and compares the waveforms to known signatures to determine which digitizer is being used. The stylus pen can then dynamically set a protocol used to communicate with the digitizer that matches the protocol expected by the digitizer.
