  • Publication number: 20220230365
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed relate to color controls for visual accessibility within applications. Within a content editor of an application, a user may choose one or more colors for a content element. Upon choosing the color for the content element, a color control generates a contrast ratio between the chosen color of the content element and a background color upon which the content element may be seen. If a contrast ratio is not met or exceeded, an indicator is provided to a user. In some embodiments, the color control may further recommend an accessible color to the user in place of the chosen color, such that the contrast ratio between the accessible color and the background color meets or exceeds the threshold.

  • Patent number: 5727289
    Abstract: A first and second pair of door stop elements are mounted to an existing door hinge and aligned with the barrels on the door hinge. A pair of barrels have to be cutaway to mount the stops. The hinge pin holds everything in position. One of the pair of door stops is shaped like a metal bar with a pair of knuckles at the top and the bottom. It also has curves, indentations, flat contact points and grooves. The back of the first stop is recessed to provide clearance to avoid the hinge barrels against which the stop is positioned after installation. The flat contact points abut against the faces of the pair of door hinges to prevent the door from opening beyond a fixed point. The fist stop is used alone when the door opens up to 180 degrees. The second stop works with the first stop element and is used to limit the door opening to much less than 180 degrees. The second element is described as an elongated U-shaped bracket. The first element fits inside the second element.
