| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20110141022 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR TRACKING MOVEMENT RELATIVE TO A SURFACE In an embodiment, a method of tracking movement relative to a surface involves comparing at least some data elements of a first array with at least some of data elements of a second array if it is determined, from an examination of the first array of data elements, that... | 06/16/2011 |
| 20080055243 | METHOD OF OPERATING AN OPTICAL MOUSE A method for controlling a computer cursor involves capturing a plurality of arrays of data in a hand held device representing light entering the device from an environment in which the device resides, processing at least some of the plurality of arrays of data in the d... | 03/06/2008 |
| 20080048983 | METHOD OF OPERATING AN OPTICAL MOUSE A method for operating a hand held optical pointing device, such as an optical mouse, involves capturing a plurality of arrays of data in a hand held optical pointing device representing light reflected from irregularities on a surface, processing at least some of the p... | 02/28/2008 |
| 20070103439 | METHOD OF OPERATING AN OPTICAL MOUSE An optical mouse images as an array of pixels the spatial features of generally any micro textured or micro detailed work surface below the mouse. The photo detector responses are digitized and stored as a frame into memory. Motion produces successive frames of translat... | 05/10/2007 |
| 20060139332 | "Seeing eye" mouse for a computer system A hand operated pointing device for use with a computer includes a movable housing, a source of non-coherent light illuminating a work surface and circuitry in the movable housing using arrays of data related to light reflected by the illuminated work surface to produce... | 06/29/2006 |
| 20050231483 | Method of operating an optical mouse Movement of a hand operated pointing device may be tracked by providing a source of non-coherent light in a movable housing for illuminating a work surface and providing circuitry for producing a plurality of two dimensional arrays of data related to light reflected by ... | 10/20/2005 |
| 20050179662 | "Seeing eye" mouse for a computer system A hand operated pointing device for use with a computer includes a movable housing, a source of non-coherent light illuminating a work surface and circuitry in the movable housing using arrays of data related to light reflected by the illuminated work surface to produce... | 08/18/2005 |
| 20050127274 | PHOTO-SENSOR ARRAY FOR MOTION DETECTION Pixels in an array of image sensor pixels contain photo-sensors and circuits having inputs connected to the photosensors. The circuits have feedback loops for reducing fixed pattern noise in the array. Output from each pixel is used to latch a multibit counter value sup... | 06/16/2005 |
| 20050103981 | PHOTO-SENSOR ARRAY WITH PIXEL-LEVEL SIGNAL COMPARISON Pixels in an array of image sensor pixels contain photo-sensors. In response to illumination of a photo-sensor, an initial signal is generated. Multiple comparison signals are also generated based on the initial signal. One of the comparison signals remains internal to ... | 05/19/2005 |
