Patent number: 6853365Abstract: In a manually movable computer mouse with a mouse movement sensing system for providing mouse movement signals, and at least one user finger operable control switch, for providing control signals for a graphic user interface, the mouse has a boomerang shaped body ergonomically shaped to fit and support the user's hand in a naturally relaxed curled hand position, with a main body portion and a narrower neck portion extending at an angle of about 45 degrees to 90 degrees to the main body narrow enough to be interposeable between the thumb and first finger, and with an integral mouse movement control fin or tab extending above the mouse body and being thinly shaped to fit in the relaxed space between the first and second fingers (and to also provide an alternate pen-like grip between the thumb and first finger) to orient the mouse to the users hand and move the mouse with user arm movements. An integral wrist support may be provided extending from the wrist end of the mouse.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2002Date of Patent: February 8, 2005Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James J.

Patent number: 6718859Abstract: A three hole punch system for use in an image capturing device. The three hole punch system uses elastomer rollers that punch holes in the edge of a document as is passes between the two rollers. If desired the rollers can act as a transport for the document without punching holes in the document. After the holes are punched the slugs are pushed back into the holes and the document is retrieved by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2000Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James J.

Patent number: 6378409Abstract: A three hole punch system is for use in an image capturing device. The three hole punch system uses elastomeric rollers that punch holes in the edge of a sheet as it passes between two rollers. If desired, the rollers can act as a transport for the sheet without punching holes in the sheet. After the holes are punched, the resultant slugs are pushed back into the holes and the sheet is retrieved by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2000Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: James J.
