  • Patent number: 9535946
    Abstract: A system, a method, and a computer readable media for identifying a user-initiated log file record in a log file are provided. The log file has a user-initiated log file record and a repeating pattern of log file records automatically generated by a software program. The system allows a user to identify first and second timestamp values corresponding to first and second times which identify a time interval of interest in the log file. The system further analyzes the log file to identify the user-initiated log file record having a timestamp value between the first and second timestamp values. The system further identifies the repeating pattern of log file records in the log file.

  • Patent number: 9495719
    Abstract: A method and system for transferring an image. A user-selected image is received. Displayed are: (a) a graphic object representing a web page, (b) a first destination point within the graphic object and first text which is adjacent to the first destination point and describes the first destination point, and (c) a second, different destination point within the graphic object and second, different text which is adjacent to the second destination point and describes the second destination point. A user mouse selection of one of the destination points within the graphic object is received, and in response, the image is copied into the web page at the selected destination point. The first destination point, the first text, the second destination point, and the second text are stored in the transfer map. The selected image is mapped to the one of the destination points in the transfer map.

  • Publication number: 20160277386
    Abstract: A system for automatically completing fields in online forms, such as login forms and new user registration forms, which employs a Master Cookie File containing sets of records associated with the user, his or her accounts or web sites, and registered values associated with form tags (e.g. username, password, address, email, telephone, etc.). When the user encounters another form, the MCF is automatically searched for matching values and form tags, primarily from the same account or web site, or alternatively from other accounts or sites. A flowing pop-up menu is displayed nearby the form fields from which the user can select values to automatically complete the form. Automatic account information updating, value expiration management, mapping of favorite values, and sharing of values are optional, enhanced functions of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20160126801
    Abstract: A modularized servo case includes a hollow first barrel and a hollow second barrel, each of which has a lower opening at a bottom end thereof. The first barrel and the second barrel have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on outer surfaces thereof, respectively. The first and second barrels can be combined together by engagement between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In this way, the different inner components required for the first and second barrels can be separately installed beforehand by modularization, and then the first and second barrels can be assembled. Therefore, the assembly is preferably convenient and the inner components can be assembled simultaneously, thus enhancing the whole production capacity and efficiency and facilitating the disassembly procedure in the later repair and maintenance operation.

  • Patent number: 9251137
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements of text entry are discussed. Embodiments include transformations, code, state machines or other logic to enter text select text based upon the number of words in phrases of the text, upon the number of letters in words of the text, or upon other patterns of the text. The method may also involve indexing the selected text, matching text currently being entered by the user into an application to a portion of a segment of the indexed text, and entering a remaining portion of the segment of the indexed text into the application based upon the matching. In many embodiments, the text may be selected from the text entered into any of several applications. In a few embodiments, the text may be selected from sources specified by a user. In further embodiments, the sources may constitute data files.

  • Publication number: 20160006332
    Abstract: A reciprocating device used for electric hair cutter includes a housing, a magnetism transmitting unit, a coil unit, a reciprocating unit, a pivotal unit and a stationary magnet unit. After the coil unit is fitted to the magnetism transmitting unit, the former is partially surrounded by the latter. Through the pivotal unit, the reciprocating unit is pivotally fitted to the reciprocating device near the latter's rear or front end. The front or rear portion of the reciprocating unit passes through the magnetism transmitting unit. The other end of the reciprocating unit passes through the stationary magnet unit. In this manner, a portion of the reciprocating unit is housed or enclosed in the magnetism transmitting unit, allowing a reduction in the size of the prior art reciprocating device and hence the electric hair cutter in the prior art.

  • Publication number: 20150285339
    Abstract: A motorized servo device includes a case, a motor disposed in the case, a rolling bearing, and a gear mechanism. The case has an installing portion. The motor has an output gear located in the installing portion. The rolling bearing has an inner ring fixedly sleeved onto the installing portion, and an outer ring rotatable relative to the inner ring. The gear mechanism has a first gear engaged with the output gear, a second gear coaxially fixed to the first gear, a third gear fixedly sleeved onto the outer ring of the rolling bearing and engaged with the second gear, and a fourth gear coaxially fixed to the third gear. As a result, the gear mechanism has high transmission efficiency and low possibility of gear jamming, and is easily assembled.

  • Patent number: 9043711
    Abstract: A file managing software program for managing a list of elements in a specific sequence in a first file of a computer program, including the steps of copying the first file to form a second file having an identical list of elements as the first file. The user is then permitted to rearrange the sequence of the elements of the second file independently of the sequence of the first file. A display of both the first and the second file list elements is provided to the user. Further embodiments allow the user to categorize, prioritize, and order according to users specified rules of how the second file element list is organized and displayed to provide a more convenient and flexible presentation of the file contents.
