Claims
- 1. Computer peripheral comprising:
at least one element supported for motion; an electromechanical mechanism for moving the moveable element; and circuitry for providing a shaped input to the electromechanical mechanism to move the movable element along a desired trajectory.
- 2. The peripheral of claim 1 in which the desired trajectory results in maximum speed.
- 3. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the desired trajectory results in quiet operation.
- 4. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the desired trajectory results in vibration-reduced operation.
- 5. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the desired trajectory reduces unwanted frequencies.
- 6. The peripheral of claim 1 further including a sensor responsive to the dynamic response of the peripheral.
- 7. The peripheral of claim 6 wherein the sensor is an accelerometer.
- 8. The peripheral of claim 6 wherein the sensory is a microphone.
- 9. The peripheral of claim 6 wherein an output from the sensor is used by the circuitry to provide the shaped input.
- 10. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the peripheral is a printer.
- 11. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the peripheral is a scanner.
- 12. Computer peripheral comprising:
at least one element supported for motion; an electromechanical mechanism for moving the moveable element; circuitry for providing a shaped input to the electromechanical mechanism to move the moveable element along a trajectory; and a user interface allowing the user to select a desired trajectory.
- 13. the computer peripheral of claim 1 wherein the trajectory is quick, quiet, or in between.
- 14. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the trajectory suppresses unwanted frequencies.
- 15. The peripheral of claim 1 wherein the desired trajectory is determined using Input Shaping®.
- 16. The peripheral of claim 1 further including a sensor responsive to the dynamic response of the peripheral.
- 17. The peripheral of claim 12 wherein the peripheral is a printer.
- 18. The peripheral of claim 12 wherein the peripheral is a scanner.
- 19. The peripheral of claim 17 wherein the moveable element is a print head.
- 20. The peripheral of claim 17 wherein the moveable element is a paper feeding mechanism.
