Patent number: 9383825Abstract: A method providing for input of any script/language, on any computing device, mobile or otherwise by conveying Unicode characters to the computing device instead of keyboard scan codes that require further processing. The method includes all script/language processing independent from the computing device, permits changing input script/language “on-the-fly”, provides for a universal platform-independent method to select each particular script/language, and requires no language-specific support on the computing device, other than the ability to display the selected script. The method also provides for input of commands and backward-compatible input using legacy keyboard key codes.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Inventors: Nicolas Jones, Michael Goodgoll

Publication number: 20120086546Abstract: A system for controlling access to a source of electrical power. The system includes a readable access information device with access information that is associated with an electrical load device electrically connectable to a receptacle, a switch device for connecting and disconnecting the receptacle to and from the source of electrical power, and a reader for reading the access information from the readable access information device, and determining whether preselected criteria are satisfied by the access information. If the preselected criteria are satisfied, the receptacle is connected to the source of electrical power, and the electrical load device is connectable to the source of electrical power via the receptacle. If any one or more of the preselected criteria are unsatisfied, then the receptacle is disconnected from the source of electrical power.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2011Publication date: April 12, 2012Inventors: Steven Montgomery, Nicolas Jones
