Filed:

Apr 10, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/120897

Inventors:

William A. Cesarotti - San Mateo CA, US
Eric Larkin - San Jose CA, US
Michael Topolovac - Monterey CA, US

Assignee:

Arena Solutions, Inc. - Menlo Park CA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707100

Abstract:

A method of associating CAD data of an item with an item in a bill of material (BOM). The BOM is stored remotely in a database containing BOMS, not necessarily having the same owner. The method includes for a selected item collecting data from the CAD data of the item, formatting the collected data for transfer, transferring the formatted collected data to a remote location from where the BOM database is accessible, retrieving matching BOM items from a database containing one or more BOMs, comparing the BOM data of the matching items with the corresponding collected transfer data to obtain a match, and associating the matched BOM item with the CAD data of the item. The BOM uniquely identifies items using a unique identifier, and the associating is by attaching to the CAD data of the item the unique identifier used in the BOM database for the item.

US Classification:

345173

Abstract:

By suitable use of screen-printed carbon ink patterning, combined with patterning of the solder-mask layer on the top (finger) surface, a compact capacitive touchpad pointing device has been realized using only a two-layer board as a substrate. The first layer, on the topside of the printed circuit board, combines both the horizontal and vertical sensor electrode traces. The second layer, located on the underside of the printed circuit board, is formed in the conventional manner by attaching the controller chip and/or related circuitry.
