Abstract: An input device such as a mouse, track ball or joystick that has a rotatable element for scrolling a graphical display presented on an apparatus. The rate of scrolling of the graphical display is constant and independent of the rate of rotation of the rotatable element. The input device further comprises a motion signal generator, a motion signal interpreter and a software driver. The motion signal generator detects motion of the rotatable element and generates motion signals. The motion signal interpreter checks for generation of motion signals within predetermined periods of time. If at least one motion signal is detected within the predetermined period of time the motion signal interpreter generates one output signal at the end of the predetermined period of time. When the software driver receives an output signal, the software driver generates a line scrolling command to scroll the graphical display.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multiple peripheral connection device for connecting multiple peripheral devices to a host device via a series of flexible electrical connectors. The device includes a multiplicity of port orienting structures having downstream ports provided thereon. The port orienting structures are individually movable relative to the device housing and one another so as to enable relative orientation of said downstream ports provided thereon to be adjusted to facilitate establishing the electrical coupling between the downstream ports and the multiple peripheral devices.

Abstract: A container constructed from a cut and scored foldable blank of cardboard or similar material which includes a box blank, which when folded defines a box having four sides extending upward from a bottom to define an open top and a lid blank that is removably secured to the box blank, which when removed and folded defines an enclosure for the open top.

Abstract: A hanging folder file box is provided with four substantially equal sides and with two opposite side panels located within the box and having a vertical height less than the vertical height of the sides of the box. The side panels removably receive channels that in turn receive notched ends of hanging folders so that the hanging folders are maintained completely with the box, A lid or cover can be provided to completely cover the hanging folders and their contents. The body of the file holder box is unitary and constructed of a material suitable for folding such as corrugated fiberboard.

Abstract: A unitary interlocking frame that surrounds the front of a shell of a storage container includes male interlocking members that interlock with female interlocking members provided on the frame of an adjacent container so that when the containers are vertically stacked they can be secured from relative movement with respect to each other.
