Abstract: A hand held thumb touch typable ASCII/UNICODE keyboard that has an alphanumeric keypad having multiple quad keys and multiple dual keys, and a navigation keypad having multiple dual keys and single-function keys. Each corner of one of the quad keys or dual keys of the alphanumeric keypad allow a user to type a separate character. In addition, a homing key is located at the center of the alphanumeric keypad. An optional pointing device and an adjustable hand-strap can also be added to the device.

Abstract: Present invention outlines a structured wiring methodology for installing a premise-wide distributed Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) featuring Broadband Points with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) and Electrical Sockets, allowing connection to Broadband Appliances. The necessary LAN and electrical cabling stays entirely within a Beading (or Casing and Capping), which recursively loops along the skirting level of the walls within the premise. This does not disturb the aesthetics of an existing premise, as the Beading merges with the skirting outline, or can be concealed within the wall itself. Each end of the looped Beading can be terminated on a dual Broadband Gateway, which provides WAN and global Internet connectivity. The looped Beading provides immunity against a single failure of Electronic boards (within Broadband Points or Gateway) or single cut in the cables. Ethernet connection cord can be as thin and flexible as that in telephones, and thinner than that for USB appliances.
