7667468, Feb 23, 2010

Filed:

Jul 24, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/880963

Inventors:

Erik Anderson - Shoreline WA, US

Assignee:

Cypress Semiconductor Corporation - San Jose CA

International Classification:

G01R 27/26

US Classification:

324676, 324678, 324679

Abstract:

A capacitive sensor with ratiometric voltage references includes a voltage source, a charge transfer switch, an integrating capacitor, and a comparator. The voltage source is configured to generate a first voltage reference and a second voltage reference in response to a supply voltage, where the first voltage reference changes proportionally to the second voltage reference in response to a change in the supply voltage. The charge transfer switch is coupled to the integrating capacitor to distribute charge between a sensing capacitor and the integrating capacitor, where the charge is accumulated in response to the first voltage reference. The comparator is coupled to the second voltage reference and the integrating capacitor to compare a voltage on the integrating capacitor against the second voltage reference.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709224, 709203, 709217, 709218, 709223, 709230, 709231

Abstract:

A method and apparatus to compare a control article against a test article to support a product or service is disclosed. A client indicates a selection of the test article to be compared with the control article. The articles are fed to multiple end users in response to requests from the end users. The requests or responses are tracked to determine whether the control article or test article has more negative or positive responses. The control article may then be replaced with the test article as a primary article to support the product or service if the test article has a predetermined amount of positive or negative responses when compared with the control article to increase efficiency in supporting the product or service.

US Classification:

709/100000, 709/310000, 709/106000

Abstract:

One embodiment of the present invention provides a mechanism that associates a virtual server identifier with a process in an operating system, wherein the operating system supports multiple virtual servers running within multiple virtual environments. Upon receiving a call to an operating system function from the process, the system looks up an identifier for a virtual server associated with the process. If the identifier exists, the system uses the identifier in performing the operating system function, so that the operating system function accesses only objects defined within a virtual environment associated with the virtual server, and does not access objects defined outside the virtual environment In one embodiment of the present invention, the system receives a command to initialize a new process. If the new process is being initialized within a target virtual environment associated with a target virtual server, the system assigns an identifier for the target virtual server to the new process.

International Classification:

G01R 27/26

US Classification:

324679, 324658

Abstract:

A capacitance sensing system can include a noise detector coupled to a capacitance sensing network that generates a noise detect signal in response to noise; a delay circuit coupled to generate at least two different delayed sense signals in response to outputs from the capacitance sensing network; and a switch circuit that selectively outputs one of the delayed sense signals in response to the noise detect signal. Particular embodiments can include selectively discarding discrete analog samples of a capacitance signal when noise is detected in such a sample.

International Classification:

US Classification:

715234, 715246

Abstract:

Presentation of accessible content is in accordance with a grid established by rules independent of the content. Different rules establish different grids utilizable with the same content, thereby enabling proper formatting across a wide range of devices and displays. The rules provide for fixed size and auto sized column widths and row heights. Additionally, the rules provide for column widths and row heights size based on fractional weighting of the remaining space after the fixed size and auto sized grid members are accounted for. The grid establishes a coordinate system onto which content is “hung” by aligning an aspect of the content with a coordinate point. Content is hung by reference to its beginning, its end, its center point, or, alternatively, content can be specified to be stretched to fit the width of the column and the height of the row with which it is associated.

Abstract:

Some embodiments are directed to a vehicle door assembly that includes a vehicle door, which defines an interior and is connected to the motor by the linkage, such that actuation of the actuator engages the motor, which thereby moves the vehicle door via the linkage. The vehicle door assembly also includes a powered door override. At least a portion of the powered door override can be disposed within the interior of the vehicle door. The powered door override is configured to disconnect the linkage from the motor so as to isolate the motor from the vehicle door and thereby enable the vehicle door to be moved manually. An interior panel is connected to the vehicle door so as to cover at least a portion of the interior of the vehicle door, such that the powered door override is at least partially enclosed between the interior panel and the vehicle door.
