Renowned as an avid defender of its intellectual property, Apple, sooner or later, getting a bit problem in that department. This time, the sound system of their equipment is suspected of using technology described in the patents of THX, a company specializing in sound systems created by George Lucas. Because of this, the company is suing Apple for using its technology illegally on iPhones, iPads and iMacs.

The agency that handles the registration of patents and trademarks in the U.S. today issued a further request from the offices of Apple. The new record of Apple's patent provides a system for inductive charging of the battery through the iPad Smart Covers. For this, however, these cases would still have an integrated battery to transfer power to the tablet when needed. Thus, the Smart Cover does not just protect the device, it would also serve as a kind of auxiliary battery for the tablet, increasing the time taken away from charger.

In last Thursday (15th August, 2012) ,Apple filed a patent application for a new type of touchscreen panel that responds to touch illuminated with different pressure levels. The new technology, called as "Illuminated Touchpad" was sent for analysis by the company in April this year, but only became public this week. According to the Apple, the technology can increase the intensity of responses that a person has to deal with any device using his fingers. The resource description also indicates that it can be used simply to illuminate the screen of a device that is not currently in use. "One aspect relates to devices capable of illuminating the touch sensitive surface of the touch pad", describes the company. "Not just in backlighting so that the user knows where the touch pad is located in low light conditions, but also to give other feedback related to how the touch pad is being used" added more.

Even after presented on an American TV, the Project Glass of the search giant Google still remains a mystery. However, with the disclosure record of a patent may be prototypes of the device, it is possible to have an idea of how Google's glasses should work. The file specifies a kind of touchpad moves sideways for the basic functions of the device.According to the image, we can see the controls to scroll pages, emails and forward and backward a few others.

A patent published in the United States Patent & Trademark Office reveals that Motorola plans to create a floating lens displays for portable devices, which would also serve as a speaker sounds. With this, the gadget could play louder and less resonant, without having to devote more space to their structures (since the lens that functions as emitting sounds would be integrated into the device screen). This patent discloses the company's plans for their electronics to reproduce sounds louder and with less resonance, without any increase in power consumption.

A very interesting and promising patent was approved on Thursday (15th June) by the United States Patent & Trademark Office. It is a concept from Microsoft on a technology that recognizes and tracks the viewer's gaze, formed from sensors in the future could improve the transmission of content from a screen for anyone looking at it from any angle. Despite the confusing design shown below, the operation is relatively simple with a 3D camera, sensors follow the iris and pupil and detect exactly where your gaze is directed, even if you are in constant motion. This technology will track movement of Iris and Pupil to provide more optimized content.
