A touch panel system has been one of the most widely used input devices. In this study, a touch panel embedded system using accelerometers is considered in order to make commercial white-boards or plates into touch panels. Three accelerometers are located at different positions on such a white board, so that touch points on the board can be identified using the sensors. For the identification of touch points, a TDOA (Time Difference of Arrivals) technique is applied in the algorithm which was implemented in a DSP board (TI 6713 DSK), which can provide a precise touch location by using the cross-correlation function of measured signals from the three accelerometers. Experiment results show that the touch panel system with accelerometers could provide the exact touch location. Thus a novel approach using such accelerometers could be applied to a new touch panel system.

The problem of geolocation using multiple satellites is to determine the position of a transmitter located on the Earth by processing received signals. The specific problem addressed in this paper is that of estimating the position of a stationary transmitter located on or above the Earth's surface from measured time difference of arrivals (TDOA) by a geostationary orbiting (GSO) satellite and a low earth orbiting (LEO) satellite. The proposed geolocation method is based on the total least squares (TLS) algorithm. Under erroneous positions of the satellites together with noisy TDOA measurements, the TLS algorithm provides a better solution. By running Monte-Carlo simulations, the proposed method is compared with the ordinary least squares (LS) approach.
