摘要： A roller on a mouse or other input device imparts a resistance effect to a user with low power. The invention uses an autoblocking mechanism, such as a brake, which derives the force from the force of the user's finger pushing against the autoblocking mechanism. In one embodiment, a braking mechanism using two small rollers biased against the bigger roller or wheel is used. As the user applies a turning force to the wheel, it wedges against one of the two small rollers, depending on the direction, providing the feeling of resistance to the user as the wheel is turned. In another embodiment of the invention, local feedback is provided on a ratchet-type effect. In another embodiment of the invention, feedback is provided through the roller even when the cause of the feedback is something other than the roller.

摘要： A pointing device, such as a mouse, track ball or joystick, having a roller. The roller itself has either a plurality of slits or reflective strips for optical detection. A photoemitter and photodetector are positioned to detect rotation of the roller. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need for coupling to a separate optical encoder. The roller can be depressed to cause the actuation of a microswitch. In a preferred embodiment, the photoemitter and photodetector are aligned along a vertical axis, such that the position information is not affected by the vertical depressing of the roller.

摘要： A compact pointing device generally includes a ball, a light source, and a sensor. The ball includes an outer layer, a reflective inner core and a transparent layer disposed between the outer layer and the inner core. Disposed in the outer layer is a pattern of areas which appear transparent and opaque when illuminated by light generated by the light source. During operation, the light generated by the light source travels through a portion of the outer layer and the transparent layer before illuminating a portion of the inner core. The light is reflected back from the inner core along a path which extends through a portion of the transparent layer and a portion of the outer layer. As the light passes through the outer layer, a "shadow" of the pattern is cast onto the sensor. The sensor responds to movements of the shadow of the pattern (e.g., when a user manipulates the ball) by generating an output which is processed to provide a cursor control output.

摘要： A simplified, inexpensive roller for a mouse, trackball or other input device. The support for the roller is attached to the bottom of a button. In one embodiment, the roller is fixed with respect to the button so that when the roller is depressed, the button depresses to cause a switch activation. This is in contrast to prior art devices where the roller itself would depress into the housing. Here, the housing (button) depresses with the roller. This greatly simplifies the design.

摘要： A method and apparatus for eliminating at least one light emitter and one light detector in a mouse design. This is done by using two conical shaped encoder wheels positioned so that they are almost touching each other. A single light emitter then is used to shine light at the junction, so that it strikes both cones. Adjacently located is a single chip, with two photodetectors integrated on each side. The chip is positioned so that light directed at the first conical encoder impinges on the first group of photodetectors, while light directed at second conical encoder impinges on the second group of photodetectors. Thus, the two photodetectors can be integrated on a single chip, saving a separate photodetector chip. In addition, only a single LED is required.
摘要翻译：一种用于在鼠标设计中消除至少一个光发射器和一个光检测器的方法和装置。这是通过使用两个圆锥形编码器轮来实现的，使得它们几乎彼此接触。然后使用单个光发射器在接合处照射光，使其撞击两个锥体。相邻的单芯片，两侧集成了两个光电探测器。芯片被定位成使得指向第一锥形编码器的光照射在第一组光电检测器上，而指向第二锥形编码器的光照射在第二组光电检测器上。因此，两个光电检测器可以集成在单个芯片上，从而节省了单独的光电探测器芯片。此外，只需要一个LED。

摘要： A roller wheel structure having a simplified design. A support guide is connected to a lower housing for constraining and allowing movement of a roller wheel and roller support. In a preferred embodiment, the support guide is integrally formed with the lower housing, reducing the part count and enabling a more compact design. On one side of the wheel, the support guides connected to the lower housing support a spring around an axle connected to a support for the roller wheel. When the roller wheel is depressed by a user, the spring allows the roller support to depress until a micro-switch is activated. On a second side of the roller wheel, the roller support consists of a mechanism which slides up and down within the support guides connected to the lower housing when the user depresses the roller wheel. This side includes a spring biased against an open inside of the roller wheel. The spring is biased against an undulating surface on the inside perimeter of the wheel, providing a ratcheting effect when a user rotates the wheel.

摘要： A system and method of manufacturing directed to an optical device with optical illumination. The optical device has a case for encasing an optical module. The optical module has one or more contact points in contact with the imaged surface. The suspension system uses a flexible connection to suspend the optical module over an opening in the bottom of the case. The flexible connection and the contact points control the distance between a surface and an optical lens within the optical module and allow the optical module to stay in the correct position.

摘要： A method and apparatus for replacing two separate photo detectors chips and two photo emitters by a single photo detector chip and a single photo emitter. This is achieved by using CombiDisks having a flexible shaft. The flexible section allows for the bending of the CombiDisks so that the encoder disks are next to each other and tangent to the same vertical plane. This allows for the placement of both the x and the y sensors in a single plane. This will in turn allow for the two photo detectors to be integrated in a single semiconductor chip, saving a separate photo detector chip, and its associated packaging. This additional savings is significant since the packaging itself contributes to approximately one half of the cost of such a detector.
摘要翻译：一种用于通过单个光电检测器芯片和单个光电发射器替换两个单独的光电检测器芯片和两个光电发射器的方法和装置。这通过使用具有柔性轴的CombiDisk来实现。柔性部分允许CombiDisk的弯曲，使得编码器盘彼此相邻并且与相同的垂直平面相切。这允许将x和y传感器放置在单个平面中。这又将允许将两个光电检测器集成在单个半导体芯片中，从而节省单独的光电检测器芯片及其相关封装。这种额外的节省是重要的，因为包装本身有助于这种检测器的大约一半的成本。
