  • Patent number: 10832350
    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of monitoring for fraudulent activity where a key generating device generates a first key based on a writing profile of a user, and where the key indicates the writing style of the user. The generation of the key includes generating trait scores for writing style traits, where the writing style traits includes an agreeableness trait, a conscientiousness trait, an extraversion trait, an emotional range trait, and an openness trait. The key generating device generates a second key based on a document, where the second key indicates the writing style of the author of the document. A processor compares the first key to the second key to determine the degree of dissimilarity between the writing style of the user and the writing style of the author of the document.

  • Patent number: 10573199
    Abstract: A refreshable Braille display device includes a housing having a surface containing a set of tactile markers thereon; a carriage in cooperation with the housing, the carriage having a surface containing a tactile marker thereon and a series of individual refreshable Braille cells positioned above the tactile marker for tactile reading by a user; and a moving mechanism for moving the carriage relative to the housing such that the tactile marker on the surface of the carriage is aligned with one of the tactile markers in the set of tactile markers on the surface of the housing.

  • Patent number: 10339832
    Abstract: A hybrid keyboard and associated systems and methods. A disclosed hybrid keyboard includes a set of interactive keys, each having an integrated refreshable braille display, wherein each interactive key includes a momentary switch for detecting a keystroke and includes a actuator system for selectively extending pins through a surface of the interactive key; and a keyboard controller that includes a keystroke input handler for receiving and processing signals associated with detected keystrokes and includes a braille display handler that processes received messages and transmits message signals to selected interactive keys to output braille characters.

  • Patent number: 10318248
    Abstract: Contextualized selection of components in one aspect may include generating a developer profile associated with a team member, for example, for all team members designated to work on a computer-implemented development project, and generating a component profile associated with a software component, for example, for all software components identified based on received requirement specification associated with the project. Applicability of a software component to the team members may be computed based on developer profiles and a component profile associated with the software component. Based on the applicability, components are selected and may be downloaded to build a team project component repository.

  • Publication number: 20180052838
    Abstract: A story board creating computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product, includes preprocessing contextual information to obtain story content, extracting story extractions based on the story content and input metadata by a user, creating a story pool including a plurality of story items by querying a database with the story extractions, and creating a story board from the story items of the story pool based on a story relevance to the story content and a personality distance between the story board and a target audience.
