  • Patent number: 11935709
    Abstract: A control device includes a button assembly having one or more buttons and a button carrier that includes a plurality of resilient, independently deflectable spring arms. The control device may be configured as a wall-mounted keypad to control a load control device, or as a thermostat to control a temperature regulation appliance. The button carrier may be configured to prevent interference between the buttons during operation of the control device. The button assembly may be captured between a faceplate of the control device and a housing that is attached to a rear side of the faceplate. The control device may include one or more button retainers that are attached to the buttons and that are configured to align respective outer surfaces of the buttons relative to each other, and relative to the faceplate of the control device, when the buttons are in respective rest positions.

  • Patent number: 9785416
    Abstract: Within a system comprising a processor and a memory, a method for, within integrated development environment (IDE), presenting a custom view in the IDE based on a variable selection. The method can include selecting a first instance of the first variable in a first portion of program code. Via the processor, the program code can be searched to identify at least a second instance of the first variable in at least a second portion of the program code. Further, via the processor, the custom view can be presented in the IDE to present at least the first portion of the program code and the second portion of the program code based on the identification of the first variable in the second portion of the program code.

  • Patent number: 8898589
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for flattening a subset of configuration UI panels in a hierarchy of UI panels. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for flattening a subset of configuration UI panels in a hierarchy of UI panels has been provided. The method includes executing a query against an index of artifacts for which configuration parameter values are receivable in a corresponding panel disposed within a hierarchy of panels of an application. The method additionally includes receiving a result set of artifacts from the index for the query and identifying panels in the hierarchy corresponding to artifacts in the result set. Finally, the method includes displaying a single window in the application with an arrangement of the identified panels.
