  • Assistive user interface touch detection based on time and proximity to target
    Patent number: 10884545
    Abstract: A method comprises receiving a gesture as an input to a display screen; detecting the gesture via a controller; determining whether the gesture was received on a target touch interface or in a defined area adjacent to the target touch interface; determining whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface; and providing an output based on the determination of whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface. Determining whether the gesture was intended to be received on the target touch interface comprises measuring a length of time of contact of the gesture with the display screen and measuring a proximity of a point of contact of the gesture from the touch interface.

  • Method for using a package insert for cushioning an object
    Patent number: 10351287
    Abstract: A package insert for cushioning an object during transport includes a plurality of support pins disposed in parallel with respect to each other, and a perforated sheet having a plurality of perforation holes disposed therein. Each of the plurality of supporting pins is disposed within a corresponding perforation hole of the plurality of perforation holes. Each of the plurality of perforation holes has a diameter or width that is equal to or smaller than a diameter or width of its corresponding supporting pin such that the corresponding supporting pin is kept in place by friction when inserted into the corresponding perforation hole.
