A method for capacitive based detection with a digitizer sensor including a plurality of conductive elements that are capacitively coupled is described. The method includes generating a drive signal including transient sections separated in time by flat sections, providing the drive signal generated to at least one conductive element of the digitizer sensor, and sampling outputs transferred to a second conductive element that is capacitively coupled to the at least one conductive element in response to providing the signal generated to the at least one conductive element. The sampling events of the sampling are timed to take place both in response to the transient sections of the drive signal and to the flat sections of the drive signal.

Detection with a capacitive based digitizer sensor

A method for calculation of real time shooting instructions by calibrating data extracted from images of a shooting target and outputs of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) mounted on the body of a shooter. The method comprises calculating a result of a shooting event, calculating at least one physiological parameter of the shooter during a period preceding the shooting event according to an analysis of outputs of the IMU which is supported by at least one wearable device worn by the shooter, calculating shooting parameter by correlating between the at least one physiological parameter and the result, and instructing a presentation of shooting instructions calculated based on additional outputs of the IMU and the shooting parameter on a display of the mobile device or by a presentation unit of the at least one wearable device before an additional shooting event is detected.

Shooting training system

A digitizer system comprises at least one object incorporating an electronic tag configured for radiating at least one modulated signal and at least one second signal; a digitizer sensor configured for detecting the at least one second signal while the object is positioned on or over the digitizer sensor; and circuitry configured for identifying the object based on modulation of the at least one modulated signal and for determining a position of the object on or over the digitizer based on the detected second signal on a portion of the digitizer sensor.

System and method for multiple object detection on a digitizer system

A digitizer system includes a stylus comprising a plurality of transmitters for transmitting signals, wherein each of the plurality of transmitters are distanced from one another by a defined distance, a digitizer sensor operable for sensing signals transmitted by the plurality of transmitters, and circuitry associated with the digitizer sensor for tracking a projected location on the digitizer sensor of each of the plurality of transmitters based on the signals sensed, and for tracking a geometric relationship between the projected locations.

Object orientation detection with a digitizer

A stylus for use with a digitizer sensor includes a housing confined by a first and second end, a primary tip positioned at the first end of the housing and associated with a first transmitting element, the first transmitting element having a first diameter, a secondary tip positioned at the second end of the housing and associated with a second transmitting element, the second transmitting element having a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter, a transmitting unit for transmitting a first signal with a first amplitude via the first transmitting element and for transmitting a second signal with a second amplitude via the second transmitting element, wherein the first amplitude is at least twice the second amplitude and a powering unit for powering transmission of the first and second signal.

Interacting tips for a digitizer stylus

A signal emitting stylus for operation with a digitizer system includes a resonant circuit including a first capacitor and an inductor, the circuit operative to alternate between receiving a wirelessly transmitted first signal and generating electrical field; a controller and a power source. The controller operates the resonant circuit in a receive mode for receiving the first signal, decodes the received first signal and switches operation of the resonant circuit to a transmit mode for generating the electrical field and coupling the electrical field to a digitizer system in response to detecting the first signal. The power source powers generation of the electrical field.

An apparatus includes a housing, a tip configured to move with respect to the housing based on contact pressure applied the tip, and a circuit. The circuit detects pressure applied on the tip based on movement of the tip. The circuit includes a variable current source configured to drive a sensor, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) configured to receive current from the sensor and an analog to digital converter configured to sample output from the TIA.

The switch includes a first element that is fixedly positioned around the extremity and a second element that is fixed to the housing, wherein physical contact between the first element and the second element closes the switch.
