The invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining the topography or optical properties of a moving subject. In the method at least two images (KX1, KX2, KX3) and (KY1, KY2, KY3) of a moving subject (X) and a reference area (Y) in its immediate vicinity are taken synchronously at different moments in time, in such a way that, in each of the images taken of the subject (X), the subject...

A processor and method are provided for decoding a multimedia file having video and audio data streams that are configured to be played in synchronization. Frames of the video stream are decoded and played with the audio and, to compensate for saturation of the processor usage, two procedures are performed. The first procedure operates at a first periodic interval and slows down the frame rate to ...

A touch sensor for mounting over a display screen of an electronic device is provided. The touch senor includes: an elongate input pad formed in a layer of transparent conductive material on a transparent substrate, the input pad tapering from a broad end to a narrow end to provide an input pad capacitance that varies with location of a touch over the input pad; and, a contact for coupling the inp...

An electronic device includes a base and a touch screen display connected to the base and movable relative thereto. The touch screen display includes a display device and a touch-sensitive input surface overlying the display device. The electronic device includes a feedback mechanism including a switch moveable relative to the base for actuating in response to application of a force to the touch-s...
