Patent number: 10786097Abstract: A wall hanging device for marking the location of wall mounting fasteners is provided. The wall hanging device intrinsically locates connection points along a wall that correspond with connection points along an article to be hung on the wall. The systemic device provides two opposing surfaces, each surface providing corresponding guide markings. Each surface also has adhesive elements so that the device can first be adhered to the article and then transferred to the wall by way of urging the article against the wall, thereby ensuring that one or more preselected connection points along the article, first associated with one surface's guide marking(s), are intrinsically located on the wall by way of the other surface's corresponding guide markings after pulling away the article, leaving the temporarily adhered device to the wall. The device also provides a foldable pocket for capturing debris resulting from the installation of the mounting fasteners.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Inventors: Bjorn Austraat, Tara Marie Austraat-Churik

Patent number: 10237685Abstract: A computing device and method is usable to determine a cognitive geofence according to a plurality of data points. The computing device may analyze the plurality of data points to determine an emotional state of a user of a user equipment and a cognitive environment in an area proximate to the user of the user equipment. The computing device may determine the cognitive geofence based at least in part on the emotional state of the user of the user equipment and the cognitive environment in the area proximate to the user of the user equipment. After determining the cognitive geofence, the computing device may transmit the determined cognitive geofence to a terminal device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2018Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Bjorn Austraat, Swaminathan Chandrasekaran
