International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

4555561

Abstract:

A configurable modular communication device () is composed of an information delivery module () and an information input module () that are matable to each other. The information delivery module is a single base unit that can work with a touchscreen keypad () or a number of modular keypad or other information input attachments. The information input module enables a user to change the look of the modular communication device according to personal taste and enhances its functionality to fit the exact occasion and mode of use. The information delivery module acts on its own as the navigation key and provides on its display screen menu (including an on-screen touch sensing keypad) user access to all functionality including telephone (), PDA (personal digital assistant) (), camera (), clock (), and MP music player (). User-controlled navigation takes place on or in the vicinity of the display screen, whether by hard or soft key actuation.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A lamp shade envelops and holds a lamp assembly that includes a light bulb having an enclosure portion and a connector portion connected to a lamp socket. The lamp shade includes two sheets joined at opposite side margins to form an envelope with separable top and bottom side margins. Each sheet is characterized by a rigidity property exhibiting an elastic restorative force that urges together the separable top and the bottom side margins in the absence of a lamp assembly positioned between the sheets. Spatially aligned openings in the sheets form a two-sided lamp shade aperture from which sections of the enclosure portion protrude when the lamp assembly is positioned within an interior space between the joined sheets. The sheets bend around the enclosure portion to expand the envelope to a convex shape, and the elastic restorative force holds the enclosure portion in place within the interior space.

Abstract:

A portable, compact folding furniture piece () constructed as a seat or table is configured for convenient storage. The folding furniture piece comprises an object support assembly () that is configured for operative connection to a mounting structure () and includes a spring mechanism () securing together as a flexible unit a support mount (), an articulated vertebral column (), and a support base (). The spring mechanism exhibits flexibility properties such that the object support assembly assumes at rest an unfolded state and, in response to an externally applied bending force, assumes a folded state. In the unfolded state, the vertebral column is substantially straight to provide a closed support surface (). In the folded state, the vertebral column is curved to provide a raised, open support surface on which an object can rest. Depending on the embodiment of the furniture piece, the object can be a person or thing

US Classification:

345156

Abstract:

A two-handed game controller has a single dual analog/digital x-y directional pad mounted on the top which can perform either analog or digital functions. A mode switch on the controller allows an operator to select either analog or digital control settings. The controller also has a button grouping located within a concave recess. Each button within the recess has a downward slanting top maintained at an elevation a specified distance from the controller, thereby allowing for easy actuation by a gliding, rolling or sliding motion of a user's thumb or finger. The controller also has semicircular sides and 3-dimensionally tapered hand-grips, facilitating grip from virtually any size hand, from child to adult. Digital triggers are mounted on both the top and bottom of the controller and are configured to perform the same functions, allowing table-top use. Furthermore, the controller has a tripod-like structure with slip-resistant grips providing stability on a table-top surface.

International Classification:

E04G 300

US Classification:

2482811

Abstract:

An adjustable support allows a computer terminal or display device to be conveniently positioned above a desk. The support includes a platform for holding the terminal and a pivotally connected linkage assembly comprising proximal and distal arms for vertically and horizontally positioning the platform, the distal arm having the platform mounted thereon. The proximal arm comprises a set of members forming an articulated parallelogram structure, the proximal end of which is rotatable about a vertical post clamped to the desk. The vertical position of the terminal may be adjusted by changing the shape of the articulated parallelogram structure. As the shape of the parallelogram structure changes, the elevation of the distal end of the proximal arm changes which in turn affects the vertical position of the platform and display device.
