A '''touchpad''' is an input device commonly used in [[laptop computer]]s. They are used to move the [[cursor (computers)|cursor]], using motions of the user's finger. They are a substitute for a [[computer mouse]]. Touchpads vary in size but are rarely made larger than 20 square [[centimeter]]s (about 3 square [[inches]]). They can also be found in PDAs.

<!--

PLEASE PUT YOUR NEW INFORMATION AT THE TOP AND SIGN YOUR NAME

Touchpads operate by sensing the [[capacitance]] of a finger, or the capacitance between sensors. Capacitive sensors are laid out along the horizontal and vertical axes of the touchpad. The ___location of the finger is determined from the pattern of capacitance from these sensors. This is why they will not sense the tip of a pencil or other similar implement. Gloved fingers may be problematic (such as in a cleanroom environment) but can sometimes work. Moist, sweaty, or calloused fingers can be problematic for those touchpads that rely on measuring the capacitance between the sensors.

-->

Touchpads are relative motion devices. That is, there is no [[isomorphism]] from the screen to the touchpad. Instead, relative motion of the user's fingers causes relative motion of the cursor. The buttons below or above the pad serve as standard [[mouse (computing)|mouse]] buttons. Depending on the model of touchpad and drivers behind it, you may also click by tapping your finger on the touchpad, and drag with a tap following by a continuous pointing motion (a ''click-and-a-half'').

*A new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Collaboration of the fortnight]] section has been added, please contribute.

* Both '''Casino Royale''' and '''GoldenEye''' failed for featured article status.

* Wiki Project James Bond Up and Away on 17 April 2007.

Some touchpads also have "hotspots": locations on the touchpad that indicate user intentions other than pointing. For example, on certain touchpads, moving your finger along the right edge of the touch pad will control the [[scrollbar]] and scroll the [[window (computing)|window]] that has the [[focus (computing)|focus]] vertically. Moving the finger on the bottom of the touchpad often scrolls in horizontal direction.

Some touchpads can emulate multiple mouse buttons by either tapping in a special corner of the pad, or by tapping with two or more fingers.

Touchpads are primarily used in portable [[laptop]] computers, because the usual mouse device requires a flat table adjacent to the keyboard not always available away from the office. But touchpads have some advantages over the mouse, particularly that the pad's position is fixed relative to the keyboard, and very short finger movements are required to move the cursor across the display screen. Some computer users prefer them for such reasons, and desktop keyboards with built-in touchpads are available from specialist manufacturers.

'''Comment''': Can somebody add the importance feature underneath on this template, so we can see the importance of the article without having to go to edit, (I'd do it myself but the syntex stuff too complecated??? [[User:SpecialWindler|SpecialWindler]] 23:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Touchpads have also recently appeared in [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s [[iPod]]. The main control interface for menu navigation in all of the currently produced [[iPod]]s (except the Shuffle) is a touchpad (at first by [[Synaptics]]; Apple now manufactures that component itself). [[Creative Labs]] also uses a touchpad for their [[Creative Zen|Zen]] line of [[MP3 player|MP3 players]], beginning with the Zen Touch and most recently featured in the [[Zen Vision:M]].

::If you look at the bottom of the page, where all the categories are listed, it is listed there. ^{[[User:{{{User|El Greco}}}|{{{User|El Greco}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{User|El Greco}}}|talk]] <small>•</small> [[Special:Contributions/{{{User|El Greco}}}|contribs]])} 00:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

The "trackpad" is [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s name for the touchpad. It was introduced in [[1994]] in the [[PowerBook 500]] series, the first laptop ever to carry such a device, and replaced the [[trackball]] of previous [[PowerBook]] models. Late generation PowerBooks and [[iBook]]s have two-finger sensing capabilities, as well as the current [[MacBook]] and [[MacBook Pro]] model lines. These capabilities include the ability to right-click by tapping two fingers and the ability to scroll both vertically and horizontally at the same time by dragging two fingers (which is very useful when looking at a large photo, webpage, etc).

==Recognized content==

In 1989 [[Psion PLC|Psion]] introduced their first full size laptop [http://www.guidebookgallery.org/ads/magazines/symbian/mc400brochure (Psion MC 200/400/600/WORD series)] with a new mouse-replacing [http://www.guidebookgallery.org/ads/magazines/symbian/mc400brochure/pics/05 touch-pad]. Although the Psion's was a tap-to-point design that did not catch on, the Apple stroke-to-point design did, so the Psion's system wasn't really a touchpad as we think of them today.

* Survey articles to make sure a balance is maintained between film and novel references where applicable; it should not be forgotten that the books came first (there are occasional articles such as [[List of James Bond henchmen]] that profess to reference the novels but only contain film-based information). Articles on characters that appear in both the novels and the films should always include information on their literary counterparts.

There are two principal means by which touchpads work. In the ''matrix approach'', a series of conductors are arranged in an array of parallel lines in two layers, separated by an insulator. The conductors in these layers are oriented orthogonally to one another. A high frequency signal is applied sequentially between pairs in the two dimensional matrix created by the conductor array. The current that passes between the nodes is proportional to the capacitance. When a virtual ground, such as the finger, is placed over one of the intersections between the conductive layer some of the electrical field lines are shunted to this ground point, resulting in a change in the apparent capacitance at that ___location. This method received US patent number 5,305,017 awarded to George Gerpheide.

*Occasionally review all articles that have been placed on the [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles]] page for [[Special:Recentchangeslinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject James Bond/Articles|recent changes]].

*Cite sources on [[James Bond]]. This will greatly help it to featured status, the current Mission of the Week.

* Resolve the issue of [[Casino Royale (1967 film)|Casino Royale (1967)]] being considered an unofficial Bond film by adding applicable sources to this and related articles, preferably books or media coverage.

The ''capacitive shunt method'', described well in an [http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/Data_Sheets/AD7142.pdf application note] by [[Analog Devices]], senses the change in capacitance between a transmitter and receiver that are on opposite sides of the sensor. The transmitter creates an electric field which oscillates at 2-300 kHz. If a ground point, such as the finger, is placed between the transmitter and receiver, some of the field lines are shunted away, decreasing the apparent capacitance.
