Abstract:

The simulation of touch pressure on a touch-sensitive display is disclosed. In one disclosed embodiment, a touch pressure is simulated on a touch-sensitive display by detecting inputs corresponding to each of an untouched display and two or more measures of touch pressure, and displaying images on the display corresponding to the untouched display and each measure of touch pressure. In this manner, a user may be provided with a richer visual response to a touch-sensitive display input.

International Classification:

A47B 900

US Classification:

108110

Abstract:

An adjustable height table includes a pair of spaced upright support members each having an upper free end and a lower end, with the lower ends each connected to a pair of leg members. A work surface is disposed between the support members. A pair of forwardly extending brackets and a pair of rearwardly extending brackets are each adjustable mounted to the support members and the work surface is connected to the brackets by manually operable latches. The work surface is thereby height adjustable by adjusting the positions of the brackets on the support members and the entire assembly may be packaged and shipped in essentially flat form and easily assembled without tools at its shipped destination.
