Abstract: The present invention relates to a linkage apparatus for connecting a wireless keypad to a wireless keyboard. The linkage apparatus provides a unitary keyboard and keypad system, and further allows a user to easily engage the power and Bluetooth® link buttons on one or both of the keypad and the keyboard. Methods of using the same are further provided.

Abstract: An adjustable stand raises the height of a computer display to eye level, for greater viewing comfort and better ergonomics. A unique design allows the stand to collapse down to two thin plates. When disassembled, the stand is approximately the size of a magazine, making it ideal for carrying in a laptop bag together with the laptop itself. Smaller versions for smaller devices (e.g., smartphones, video players, etc.) are possible. Other applications are also possible (e.g., holding photos, artwork, books, etc.).

Abstract: A folding keyboard is set forth with a numeric keypad, and one fold line located between the edge of a standard continuous space bar and the edge of the numeric keypad. Preferably, the keyboard further includes left and right top cases, supporting inexpensive rubber dome switches, left and right bottom cases, membrane sheets with circuit traces connecting keyboard electronics to contact points under each key, two hinge screws or rivets (or the like) that hold the left and right sides of the keyboard together at the hinges, and a locking mechanism to keep the case closed when folded shut.

Abstract: An adjustable cushioning system, for use in a carrying case or the like, adapted to be re-sized internally to match the size and shape of its contents. Shock-absorbent spacers are stacked against the walls of the case or bag to adjust the internal dimensions of the case or bag as desired.

Abstract: A stand is set forth comprising a support platform, foot portion, a pair of legs; and a plurality of hinges for rotatably connecting the legs between the support platform and the foot portion. Each of the hinges preferably comprises a hinge pin extending from respective ones of the support platform and foot portion and adapted to rotate on at least one fulcrum support extending from each of the pair of legs. A hinge cap preferably encloses and limits rotation of the hinge pin on the at least one fulcrum point.

Abstract: A typing keyboard is provided for minimizing non-productive hand movements. The keyboard comprises a plurality of keys for entering alphanumeric text, the keys being positioned according to a conventional keyboard layout, and at least one modifier key for assigning commonly-used keyboard functions to predetermined ones of the keys positioned near a normal resting position of a user's typing fingers.
