Patent number: 9285985Abstract: A graphical drawing includes maintaining recently drawn strokes in a wet state after the strokes are drawn, causing strokes in a wet state to transition to a dry state based on passage of time, proximity of other recently drawn strokes, and/or explicit user input directing that at least some wet strokes be transitioned to the dry state, and grouping strokes in the dry state for future user manipulation based at least in part on how the strokes transitioned from the wet state to the dry state. Wet ink strokes may transition from the wet state to the dry state in response to not adding any new wet ink strokes for a predetermined amount of time. The predetermined amount of time may be twelve hundred milliseconds.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Evernote CorporationInventors: Keith Lang, Johnathan Hebert

Patent number: 9142922Abstract: A connector includes a cage that has two side walls, a top cover and a rear wall that are combined to form a hollow enclosure. The enclosure is separated into two module-receiving bays by at least one spacer with a top and bottom wall that extends between the sidewalls to form a central portion between a top and bottom bay, the central portion acting as an air passage between a front face and the sides of the connectors. Air openings are formed in the sidewalls of the cage assembly and they communicate with the central portion. The bottom wall of the spacer is provided with a large opening that extends a substantial distance of module-receiving bay and provides an air flow path from the air openings to the bottom module-receiving bay. An insert with apertures in communication with the central portion can be positioned.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2010Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Molex IncorporatedInventors: Kent E.
