Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a reduced QWERTY keyboard and is enabled with disambiguation software. The device provides output in the form of a default output and a number of variants. The output is based largely upon the frequency, i.e., the likelihood that a user intended a particular output, but various features of the device provide additional variants that are not based solely on frequency and rather are provided by various logic structures resident on the device. The device enables editing during text entry and also provides a learning function that allows the disambiguation function to adapt to provide a customized experience for the user. The disambiguation function can be selectively disabled and an alternate keystroke interpretation system provided.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for facilitating the delivery of e-mail messages from a mobile communication device are disclosed. In one disclosed example, an end user of the mobile device enters e-mail message information corresponding to a new e-mail message through a user interface. Preferably, the user interface is an e-mail graphical user interface (GUI) provided by the mobile device. The mobile device identifies whether a packet data service (e.g. GPRS) for communicating e-mail messages is available to it. If the packet data service is available, the mobile device causes the e-mail message information to be sent via the packet data service. If the packet data service is unavailable, however, the mobile device causes the e-mail message information to be sent in a short message service (SMS) message via an SMS-to-Email service.

Abstract: A system and method for integrating voice and data operations into a single mobile device capable of simultaneously performing data and voice actions. The mobile device working in a network capable of exchanging both cell phone calls and data items to the mobile device. By wearing an earphone or an ear-bud device the user is capable of dealing with voice conversations while working with data centric information related to the current caller. By providing a data-centric device with voice capabilities there is a new range of features that allow incoming data events to trigger outgoing voice events.

Abstract: A roller for a roller conveyor has a circular outer article engaging surface and a transversely extending through bore. A rotatable drive shaft extends through the bore for rotating the roller. The bore in the roller is offset from the transverse center of the roller to cause an eccentric rotational movement of the outer surface of the roller.

Abstract: An accumulating roll conveyor comprising a plurality of rolls journaled between parallel longitudinally extending side frame members has roll shaft ends projecting beyond a common one of said side frame members with chain sprockets journaled on the projecting shaft ends for rotation relative thereto, a chain drive system is entrained over the sprockets for driving them, and a torque overload clutch means connects each sprocket to the shaft on which it is journaled with the torque transmitted from the sprocket to the shaft being provided by a radially compressible resilient element squeezable through a narrowed space between the sprocket and shaft upon predetermined resistance to rotation of the shaft and with such element being removable for replacement by an element of different resiliency to effect a change in the torque transmitted without disturbing the mounting of the roll between the side frame members.
