Abstract: A method for associating sounds with different keypresses, involving receiving an input of a first keypress from a keyboard including a plurality of keys, wherein the keyboard is associated with a computing device, determining whether a key corresponding to the first keypress is one of a plurality of significant elements, wherein the plurality of significant elements is a subset of the plurality of keys, determining a first sound event associated with the key, when the key is one of the plurality of significant elements, and outputting a first sound associated with the first sound event.

Abstract: A method for accepting or rejecting suggested text corrections, involving receiving a first input from a keyboard associated with a computing device, wherein the first input corresponds to a composition of a message in a text input area on the computing device, displaying a first suggested text correction, in response to the first input, during the composition of the message, receiving a first keypress on the keyboard, wherein the first keypress corresponds to a rejection of the suggested text correction, when a rejection of the suggested text correction is desired, receiving a second keypress on the keyboard, wherein the first keypress corresponds to an acceptance of the suggested text correction, when an acceptance of the suggested text correction is desired, and automatically inserting a space in the message when one selected from a group consisting of the first keypress and the second keypress is received.

Abstract: A rackmount system for a component may include outer slide members that couple with inner slide members. The outer slide members may be coupled to a rack with slam latches. The slam latches may couple with rails of the rack when the slam latches are placed against the rails. The inner slide members may be coupled to a component. The inner slide members may include tabs that engage slots in a chassis of the component to couple the inner slide members to the component. An inner slide assembly may include an inner latch that couples with the outer slide member to inhibit movement of the inner slide member relative to the outer slide member. The rackmount system may include a locking mechanism that locks the component relative to the rack.

Abstract: A method for recording an audio broadcast by user preference has been developed. The method includes recording an audio broadcast and then converting the broadcast to text. The text is then scanned for content that has been designated as preferred by the user. If such content if found in the text, the recording of the audio broadcast is saved for future use.

Abstract: A multifunction keyboard accessory may be coupled to a keyboard. In an initial position, the multifunction keyboard accessory may function as a keyboard cover that inhibits unintentional activation of keys and protects the keyboard from spills and entry of other material between the keyboard keys. The multifunction keyboard accessory may be rotated from the initial position so that the keyboard accessory functions as a document holder. Alternately, the multifunction keyboard accessory may slide forward to function as a palmrest/wrist support.

Abstract: An integrated information appliance includes a central processing unit for executing an action in response to a user request, a storage for storing information for use by the central processing unit in responding to the user request, and a cradle which includes a scanning device for scanning an image and storing the scanned image in the storage. An information pad is removably mounted on the cradle. The information pad includes a screen display for displaying information to a user and for receiving information and requests from the user and a plurality of application buttons for sending a request to the central processing unit to perform a specific action.

Abstract: A computer system mountable in a support structure includes a primary system structure and a cover. The cover is mountable to the support structure and adapted to receive and support the primary system structure therein. The primary system structure includes a circuit board having at least one electronic device disposed thereon and at least one primary connector coupled thereto. The cover includes at least one reverse primary connector adapted to mate with the at least one primary connector and at least one system connector adapted to mate with at least one cable attachable to the computer system. The primary system structure and cover are adapted to enable translation of the primary system structure with respect to the cover when inserted therein.

Abstract: A mountable computer system includes a primary system structure and a cover. The cover is mountable to a support structure and supports the primary system structure therein. The primary system structure includes one or more connectors for attaching cables to the system. The cover is adapted to enable mating between cables and the primary system structure when inserted therein. The cover and primary system structure are also adapted to enable translation of the primary system structure in the cover with cables attached. A method for accessing computer system internal components includes: disengaging a primary system structure from an inserted position in a cover; sliding the primary system structure to an extended position in the cover while maintaining connection to cables attached to the primary system structure; releasably locking the primary system structure in the extended position in the cover; and accessing internal components disposed on the primary system structure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus and computer program products are disclosed that provide users of programmed applications with a visual indication of a state relating to the datasets accessed by the application. This indication is accomplished by presenting a background indicative of the state along with the presentation of a portion of the information in the dataset.

Abstract: A message management system produces files necessary for generating messages, localizing message catalogs, and displaying online help messages from a single master message file. Revisions and up-dates of the message system are performed by editing a single file, the master message file. A set of tools is provided to process the master message file to build the outputs.
