	System for RF communication between a computer and a remote wireless data input device - Patent 5793359
		A reception unit 3 of the wireless data input device is equipped with a keyboard output connector 4 and a mouse output connector 5 which are connected to a keyboard connector 6 and to a mouse connector 7 of the personal computer 1 through connection cables 8 and 9.
		With the control programs of various devices being introduced into the personal computer 1, it is made possible to click an icon on the CRT display 2 by manipulating the pointing device 26, to select a desired device or to display an operation menu, so that the operation is carried out in an interactive manner.
		According to the wireless data input device of the present invention as described above, the key input device and the pointing device are liberated from the connection cables eliminating limitation in regard to place for installation and moving.

	A Breakdown of the Psychomotor Components of Input Device Usage
		Devices that allow faster primary movement results in a less accurate primary movement and lead to a greater distance travels in secondary movement phase.
		The most efficient devices are less constrained by the “speed accuracy/tradeoff” allowing users to move at a higher optimal velocity, without increasing the chance of error.
		This is consistent with the SOS model prediction that movements are made to optimize performance by limiting the effect of motor noise and suggest input devices should be designed to limit the effect of noise in the interaction between the user and the input device.

	input device
		Input devices include keyboards, joysticks, mice, light pens, touch-sensitive screens, scanners, graphics tablets, speech-recognition devices, and vision systems.
		The graphics tablet is an input device in which a stylus or cursor is moved, by hand, over a flat surface.
		Input devices that are used commercially – for example, by banks, postal services, and supermarkets – must be able to read and capture large volumes of data very rapidly.

	Syzygy Documentation: Input Framework
		The input slot (integer) on which this program transmits events is specified by input_slot, and, if the -netinput flag is specified, it tries to connect to input_slot+1 to receive events from the network.
		The transmission of input events is organized into trees; these trees are created and managed by a number of input object classes.
		All device drivers are managed by the DeviceServer executable, with a separate instance of this program running on each machine connected to a hardware input device.

	User Performance in Relation to 3D Input Device Design
		The sixth aspect of input device usability is the ease of device acquisition.
		The alternative to free moving input device, are devices that are mounted on stationary surface.
		In contrast, in the case of the free moving (isotonic) devices, input variable (device displacement) is scaled to position (location and orientation) itself.

	General Input Device Emulating Interface
		Therefore, once the AAC device is connected to the computer as shown in Figure 1 (e.g., either directly through the use of a serial cable or indirectly via some kind of wireless link), something must act as a "go-between" to translate the AAC device language into the keyboard or mouse language understood by the computer.
		Since the fl box is connected between the standard input devices and the computer, it understands the language used by the keyboard and mouse when talking with the computer, and is therefore capable of allowing the AAC device to again "emulate" the standard input devices.
		Since many of the alternate input devices today require the user to program these escape sequence strings in "squares" or "selections" on their alternate input device, user readability was given greater priority than device memory requirements.

	Input device Summary
		Users employ a variety of input devices to interact with the computer, but most user interfaces today are based upon a keyboard and a mouse pointing input device.
		Hundreds of devices can be used as computer input devices, ranging from general-purpose input devices to special-purpose devices used to input specific types of data.
		Future hands-free wireless infrared input devices may include a wand with a walk-around button, a ring on the index finger, and a reflective dot that sticks to the user's forehead and signals data by eye movement.

	Input Devices and Picking
		All input devices consist of a number of Sensor objects that have a direct one-to-one relationship with that device's physical detectors.
		This method sets the device's current position and orientation as the device's nominal position and orientation (that is, it establishes its reference frame relative to the "tracker base" reference frame).
		The API for instantiating devices is site-specific, but it consists of a device object with a constructor and at least all of the methods specified in the Input-Device interface.

		Input device is on and running: Device is receiving full power from its power source, delivering full functionality to the user, and preserving applicable context and state information.
		This is recommended because a user typically uses an input device of some kind to wake the system when it is in a power management state (for example, when the system is sleeping).
		The actual input data (particular button or key pressed) that's associated with a wake event should never be discarded by the device itself, but should always be passed along to the policy owner or other software for further interpretation.

	Technical Note TN2091: Device input using the HAL Output Audio Unit
		If the channels of the device format and the desired format do not have a 1:1 ratio, the AUHAL unit can use channel maps to determine which channels to present to the user.
		For obtaining input from a device, the device format is always expressed on the input scope of the AUHAL's Element 1.
		For example, we have a 4-channel device that we are using for input, but we only desire channels 2 and 3 of the device for stereo input.

	Vibration sensing touch input device patent invention
		The present invention provides a touch sensitive input device that uses vibrations due to touch impacts and/or frictional movement of a touch implement across a surface to determine information related to the touch, such as touch position.
		The action of touching the input surface of the plate generates an impulse of energy whose bandwidth and amplitude depend on the contact material (finger, stylus, glove, etc.), the plate material (glass, acrylic, etc.), and the strength of contact.
		The energy input at the contact point propagates to the vibration sensors and the location is calculated in much the same way as for the initial impact of the touch.
