Publication number: 20240103645Abstract: A computer input system includes a mouse including a housing having an interior surface defining an internal volume and a sensor assembly disposed in the internal volume. A processor is electrically coupled to the sensor assembly and a memory component having electronic instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to determine an orientation of the mouse relative to a hand based on a touch input from the hand detected by the sensor assembly. The mouse can also have a circular array of touch sensors or lights that detect hand position and provide orientation information to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Bart K.

Patent number: 10599689Abstract: Method and system are provided for identifying parameter values in log entries from an application. The method includes receiving a log entry including language text and parameter values and referencing a localization language resource of the application that includes entry types in which translatable language text is distinguished from parameters for the purposes of language substitution for localization of the application. The method identifies an entry type in the localization language resource that corresponds to the log entry and analyzes the log entry with reference to the entry type to distinguish the parameter values from the translatable language text. The parameter values are then extracted from the log entry for analysis.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Adrian P. Kyte, John D. Taylor, Joseph R. Winchester

Patent number: 9562555Abstract: A fastener assembly includes an insert having a head and a sleeve extending from a bottom surface of the head, with the insert further defining an internal cavity. The head of the insert abuts a first panel with the sleeve extending through a first preformed hole in the first panel. A second panel with a second preformed hole is aligned with the first panel, and a shaft of a fastener pin is inserted through the second preformed hole and into the internal cavity of the insert. Upon rotating the fastener pin, a tee portion at the end of the shaft engages a seat positioned in the internal cavity of the insert. The fastener assembly also includes a compression member positioned around the shaft of the fastener pin that biases the tee portion of the fastener pin into engagement with the seat of the insert.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: Infinite Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Casey Aaron Talbot, Andrew W.
