Filed:

Jun 16, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/140220

Inventors:

Patrick A. McKinley - Corvallis OR, US
Jeffrey S. James - Escondido CA, US
Weston Myler - Albany OR, US
Phillip Salvatori - Salem OR, US

Assignee:

Marvell International Ltd. - Hamilton

International Classification:

B43K 29/00

US Classification:

401195, 401 32, 401 30, 401 29, 401 99, 345179

Abstract:

An electronic pen includes a first and a second nib structure. A twist mechanism is coupled to the first and second nib structures to selectively extend the first or the second nib structure away from the twist mechanism in response to a rotational force. An inner cylinder is coupled to the twist mechanism, the inner cylinder having a first center axis and configured to rotate around the center axis to transfer the rotational force to the twist mechanism. An outer cylinder surrounds the inner cylinder and is coupled to the inner cylinder to move the inner cylinder in a rotational direction when the outer cylinder is rotated. The outer cylinder has a second center axis that is offset with respect to the first center axis of the inner cylinder.

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided to facilitate a printer to execute one or more operations in connection with one or more images are described herein. The methods may include methods that may, at least in part, be implemented at a printer including tracking one or more locations of a scan device with respect to a sheet having a first one or more pictures associated with one or more corresponding images, wherein the tracking is based, at least in part, on electronic data provided by the scan device. The printer may then based at least in part on the tracking, execute at least one operation in connection with all or a selected subset of the one or more corresponding images.

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a first nib structure that includes a first main body having a first and a second end. The first end is opposite to the second end. The first nib structure further includes a first nib coupled to the first end. The apparatus further includes a capacitive force sensor coupled to the second end of the first nib structure. The capacitive force sensor is configured to measure more than two levels of force being applied to the first nib. The capacitive force sensor comprises (i) a first plate and (ii) a second plate. The first plate is made of a material that is elastic to bend towards the second plate when the first nib structure transfers at least a portion of a force applied to the first nib.
