A joystick with improved performance, reliability and durability, that can be used as a cursor pointing device for computers, remote controls, web TV, TV guide browsers, VCR's video games, consumer electronics, industrial controllers, medical, automotive and other applications. An uninterrupted conductive curved elastomeric transducer can be deflected to positions on an electrical medium that results in the generation of a speed and direction signal to be interpreted by low cost available circuitry including microcontroller.

Uninterrupted curved disc pointing device

A self service sales and security system for use in the retail sales environment including a means for identifying the presence, removal, and addition of each item of inventory on a merchandise rack and correlating the removal or addition of each item of inventory to an identifiable customer so that the customers can be automatically billed or charged for the items of inventory that the customer removes, and a report of which items need to be ordered to replenish inventory can be automatically prepared. The self service sales and security system includes customer records which may include credit information to selectively allow customers to remove only such items of inventory as their credit information allows; and an alarm is included to indicate tampering or the unauthorized removal of any item of inventory.

Self service sales and security system

A compact, low-cost pad pointing device with improved performance, reliability and durability, having an integrated selection switch, that can be used as a cursor pointing device and selection mechanism for computers, remote controls, web TV, TV guide browsers, video games, consumer electronics, industrial controllers, medical, automotive and other applications. A contact surface can be deflected to positions on an electrical medium that results in the generation of speed and direction signals while a selection switch may be simultaneously activated through the same control element.

Multi-speed multi-direction analog pointing device

A low-cost pad pointing device with improved performance, reliability and durability, that can be used as a cursor pointing device for computers, remote controls, web TV, TV guide browsers, video games, consumer electronics, industrial controllers, medical, automotive and other applications. A protruding plus shaped segment can be deflected to positions on an electrical medium that results in the generation of a speed and direction signal to be interpreted by low cost available circuitry including microcontrollers.
