Handheld Writing Device And Related Data Entry System
US Patent:
6050490, Apr 18, 2000
Filed:
Oct 31, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/962066
Inventors:
Robert Leichner - Menlo Park CA
Bo Curry - Redwood City CA
Daniel Flickinger - San Francisco CA
Bo Curry - Redwood City CA
Daniel Flickinger - San Francisco CA
Assignee:
Hewlett-Packard Company - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
G06K 710, G08C 2100
US Classification:
23546249
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a handheld writing device and a related data entry system. In particular, a digital electronic clipboard is used to mount pages or forms utilized in forms processing applications, such as inventory tracking. A stylus having a writing tip at one end of the stylus and a bar code scanning mechanism at another end of the stylus is used to enter data on the pages or forms and scan bar codes appearing on the pages or forms themselves, or on a separate item to be associated with the form. The system detects whether bar code data or stylus position data is being generated and causes its CPU to responsively process entered data. In an alternative embodiment, the system also permits generation of only one of stylus position data and bar code data at any given time. By providing a bar code scanner in the same implement as the stylus, the system permits a user to scan bar codes without having to replace the stylus or obtain a scanning implement; furthermore, scanning of a bar code on a preprinted form inherently provides a stream of stylus data with information to exactly reproduce a hardcopy form completed by the user, e. g. , by combining an image of the preprinted form with entered stylus data.

International Classification:
A61N 1/08
US Classification:
607 63, 607 9
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods enable robust, reliable control for implantable medical devices, including cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators and cardiac resynchronization devices. Integrated circuits in the devices have minimized interfaces, can derive power from the interface signals, and have high voltage and latch-up protection. A device lead has a power generation circuit and a switching circuit using cascaded PMOS transistors for operating with a stable voltage despite fluctuations in the supplied voltage. The lead has control electronics that provide a very low impedance between an electrode and a lead conductor during most of the duration of a pacing pulse, but during a brief initial portion of the pacing pulse, provide a very high impedance to permit charging up a power supply that is local to the control electronics. A method of stabilizing the external impedance and a system for fault detection and fault recovery for an implantable device are also provided.
