Abstract: Examples of a multi-region touchpad are disclosed. In one example implementation, a multi-region touchpad may include a multi-region touchpad sensor having a region and a secondary region to receive an input corresponding to a movement against the multi-region touchpad sensor and a touchpad controller. The touchpad controller may process the received input, and may transmit touch position indicative of the received input to a touchpad driver of a computing device communicatively coupled to the touchpad device. Further, the touchpad driver may cause an operating system of the computing device to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the primary region and extending into the secondary region as a continuous touch. Similarly, the touchpad driver may cause the operating system to treat a touch with a touch position beginning in the secondary region as a navigational command to cause the operating system to perform a navigational function.

Abstract: A system including a display, a sensor and a controller. The sensor can detect an object and generate data related to the object. The controller can determine a first pose of the object from the data and display a first representative image on the display. The controller can determine a second pose of the object and display a second representative image on the display, wherein the second representative image is associated with a displayed element.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a system and method for enabling multi-display input. According to one embodiment, the presence of an object is detected within a display area of a first display panel or a second display panel via at least one optical sensor coupled to a processor. Positional data of the object is received from the optical sensor, and a control operation associated with either the first display or second display panel is determined based on the positional data received from the optical sensor.

Abstract: A ladder safety device, systems and methods of arresting falls from ladders are provided. The ladder safety device includes a safety guide that extends along the length of an extension ladder. The length of the guide along the length of the ladder extends and contracts in unison with the extension and retraction of the extension ladder, and a tension is maintained on the guide to maintain a load during use of the ladder for climbing.

Abstract: A computing device including a mounting component at a panel of the computing device to couple with a docking stand for a removable battery of the computing device to electrically couple and receive power from the docking stand and the removable battery supplies power to the computing device if the computing device decouples from the docking stand.

Abstract: A ladder system is provided. The system includes an extendable ladder and a ladder safety device. The extendable ladder includes at least a first section and a second section. The ladder safety device includes a first guide rail secured to the first section, a second guide rail secured to the second section, an a guide rail intersection portion that merges the first guide rail into the second guide rail at a point of intersection. The guide rail intersection portion allows the first guide rail to slide with respect to the second guide rail such that the point of intersection changes as the second section extends or retracts with respect to the first section.

Abstract: A display system can include a transparent layer. The transparent layer can include a front and a back. A bevel region can extend from the transparent layer. A panel can be on the back of the transparent layer. A three dimensional optical sensor can be on the back of the bevel region.

Abstract: Examples disclose an input device with an input module to reposition along an axis, a first input sensor to detect the input module reposition from a hand gesture and a second input sensor to detect a touch gesture at a surface of the input module. A first input signal for a computing device is received if the input module is repositioned and a second input signal for the computing device is received if the second input sensor detects the touch gesture.
