  • Patent number: 11256912
    Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to identifying electronic forms using spatial information of elements presented on a website. Identifying a type of an electronic form may include identifying particular input elements associated with the form, determining a bounding region of the input element, expanding the bounding region, and determining any intersections of the expanded bounding region with one or more label elements proximate to the input element. Keywords of the label elements can be analyzed to increase or decrease a confidence level that an input element is associated with a particular input type. A bounding region can be dynamically sized based on a number of intersecting elements. An electronic form can be identified based on the identified input elements. In some instances, the electronic forms may assist a user in accessing or updating remotely stored personal information, including payment information, across one or more third party electronic sites.

  • Publication number: 20080210109
    Abstract: Apparatus, such a embossing apparatus, for applying a controlled amount of force to an article comprises a head (26) for engaging such an article to apply said force. The head (26) is moveable along substantially linear operating or return strokes, and is mounted on a rigid support (1, 2) through flexure means such a plate (32, 40). The flexure means constrains the head (26) so that latter moves only in the direction of said strokes.
