摘要： A personal computer includes a flat panel or LCD display for displaying computer status information. The display includes an overlying transparent touchpad. When the touchpad is touched, appropriate signals are processed so that movements of the user's finger on the touchpad can be indicated by displaying altered images on the display that correspond to the movement of the user's finger. In this way, the user gets an immediate visual feedback through the LCD display of what changes can be or have been made by touchpad control.

摘要： A method of determining an object's position and associated apparatus provides positional information in a form that may be conveniently communicated to a computer to calculate the object's position. In a preferred embodiment, representatively incorporated in a computer keyboard, a method of determining an object's position includes forming an optical grid of reflected beacons and detecting an obstruction of the reflected beacons. The preferred embodiment apparatus utilizes a single light source and a single light sensor to detect an object's position in two dimensions.

摘要： A notebook computer is provided with a collapsible keyboard structure having keys supported on scissored linkage arm assemblies in which, in response to closing of the computer housing lid, key return spring portions of the keyboard are shifted away from their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the scissored linkage arm assemblies and keys are permitted to retract to a storage/transport orientation in which the overall thickness of the keyboard structure is reduced by an amount essentially equal to the stroke distance of the keys. When the lid is subsequently opened, the key return spring portions are shifted back to their normal underlying relationships with the keys, and the keys and scissored linkage arm assemblies are forced outwardly by the return spring portions to their extended, operative orientations above the return spring portions. A spaced series of elastomeric key return dome members is secured to a shift member which is slidably mounted on the top side of a multilayered signal pad structure.

摘要： A low profile keyswitch having bearing surfaces on both the inside and outside of the plunger of the keycap member is disclosed. The key switch includes a one-piece switch chimney having a cylindrical upright member, a plurality of arcuate ribs positioned coaxially inwardly of the cylindrical member along with a membrane support member. The chimney receives the cylindrical plunger between the cylindrical member and the ribs to provide bearing surfaces on the plunger closest to the keycap member actuation point to minimize friction when the keycap member is depressed offcenter thereby reducing binding of the keyswitch. A plurality of equidistance upstops are disposed on the lower-end of the plunger to reduce wobble of the keycap member in the extended position.

摘要： A notebook computer has a keyboard structure with a flexible top side portion disposed along the top side of its base housing to which the computer lid portion is secured for movement between a closed position in which the lid portion extends across and covers the top side of the base housing and the keyboard structure, and an open position in which the lid portion is generally transverse to the base housing and uncovers the keyboard structure. The flexible top side portion of the keyboard structure is linked to the computer lid portion in a manner such that when the lid portion is closed the top side portion of the keyboard structure is essentially flat and parallel to the bottom side of the base housing, and when the lid portion is opened, the top side portion of the keyboard structure is resiliently bent to an upwardly and rearwardly sloped orientation and concavely curved in an upward direction to thereby emulate the slope, curvature and typing feel of a sculpted desktop computer keyboard.

摘要： A keyboard structure is recessed within an open-topped base housing portion of a compact portable computer such as a notebook or laptop computer. Front corner portions of the keyboard structure are secured to the base housing in a manner permitting the keyboard structure to be pivoted relative to the base housing between a storage/transport orientation in which the top side of the keyboard structure is generally parallel to the bottom side of the base housing, and an ergonomically improved tilted use orientation in which the top side of the keyboard structure slopes forwardly and downwardly toward the user of the computer. With the computer opened, the keyboard may also be used in its storage/transport orientation. Compact spring biased latch assemblies are disposed within interior side surface recesses of the base housing and are operable to releasably lock the keyboard structure in a selected one of its storage/transport and tilted use orientations. With the keyboard structure initially locked in its storage/transport orientation, manual movement and subsequent release of a pair of latch buttons causes the keyboard structure to automatically pop up to and become latched in its tilted use orientation. The keyboard structure may be subsequently returned to and locked in its storage/transport orientation by simply moving the latch buttons, pivoting the keyboard structure back to its storage/transport orientation, and then releasing the latch buttons.
摘要翻译：键盘结构凹入在诸如笔记本或膝上型计算机之类的小型便携式计算机的开顶的底座外壳部分内。键盘结构的前角部分以使键盘结构相对于基座壳体在存储/传送方向之间枢转的方式被固定到基座壳体，其中键盘结构的顶侧大致平行于底侧的人体工程学改进的倾斜使用方向，其中键盘结构的顶侧朝向计算机的使用者向前和向下倾斜。打开计算机后，键盘也可以用于其存储/传输方向。紧凑的弹簧偏置闩锁组件设置在基座壳体的内侧表面凹部内，并且可操作以将键盘结构可释放地锁定在所选择的一个存储/传送和倾斜使用方位。随着键盘结构最初被锁定在其存储/传送方向上，手动移动和随后释放一对闩锁按钮使得键盘结构自动弹出并被锁定在其倾斜的使用方位。键盘结构可以随后通过简单地移动闩锁按钮，将键盘结构转回到其存储/传送方向，然后释放闩锁按钮而返回并锁定在其存储/传送方向。

摘要： A keyboard having a plurality of rows of depressable keys whose key tops define a surface of concave profile curved about an axis. The concave profile is achieved with key tops and key stems of identical configuration by maintaining a key holder plate which carries the key stems in a concave profile. The concave profile of the key holder plate is produced by forming the plate with graduated flexibility across its width and mounting it on a substantially rigid base so that a region of the plate located midway between its edges is drawn to a position outside the plane containing the edges of the plate by means of a plurality of fasteners between the base and a plate located along its length.
