Abstract: A method and system for determining depth or obstruction of a container-gripping assembly is disclosed. The method and system use a sensor to determine the depth or obstruction of a container-gripping assembly.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with an integration application building tool are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing data files including an adapter data file, a flow data file, and an environment data file. The adapter data file stores adapter data corresponding to a plurality of adapters for respective enterprise applications. An adapter for a given enterprise application enables the given enterprise application to exchange messages with a messaging system. The flow data file describes to a plurality of flows of messages, through the messaging system, between enterprise applications. The environment data file is configured to be populated with location data. The method includes, receiving an instance of location data and populating the environment data file. An adapter application comprising computer code is generated that, when executed, allows the enterprise application to exchange messages with the messaging system.

Abstract: A haptic system which utilizes a combination of tactile and kinesthetic sensing allows a visually impaired person to sense visual and graphical information, such as graphs, figures, and images, on computer displays or printed material. An optical sensor is positioned on a person's hand, e.g., on the person's finger or fingers, or on the person's palm, or is positioned on a stylus used by the person. The optical sensor is traced over an image. When the sensor passes over or follows a location of color or an edge or point of contrast of the graphical information or image, e.g., a line graph, bar graph or pie chart, tactile feedback is provided to the user. The combination of the mechanical stimulation in the same area of the hand used in the sensing (i.e., being kinesthetic ally concordant) will allow the user to more easily and quickly ‘sense’ the shape or image presented on the display or paper.
