摘要： The keys operated by the Middle Fingers in the Second Nearest Row and the Fourth Nearest Row of the Alpha-Numeric Core, i.e. QWERTY D K 3 and 8, and the center key on the Number Pad are provided with hand positioning structures.Hand positioning with the Middle Fingers is based on the anatomical structure and bio-mechanical functioning of the arms, wrists, hands and fingers, and the hand positioning structures function by the neuro-sensory process of 2-point discrimination.With minimal practice, use of the hand positioning structures quickly functions at a subconscious reflex level.The hand positioning structures enable the operator to maintain visual focus and concentration on the text or display screen, and thereby eliminates unnecessary eye movement and text-reading errors due to eye movement.The structures and methods enable eliminating Home Row, and thereby eliminates awkward movements and contortions and eliminates the errors resulting from awkward movements and contortions.The structures and methods enable doing numbers with the hands positioned on the Number Row, rather than from Home Row, which also eliminates awkward movements and contortions, and improves speed, accuracy and efficiency in doing numbers.The hand positioning structures provide bio-mechanical balance and symmetry for the fingers and hands; improves keyboard operation by increasing operating speed, accuracy, efficiency, mobility, flexibility, fluidity of movement, and productivity; reduces operator mental, emotional, visual, and neuro-muscular stress and fatigue; and facilitates learning how to operate a keyboard. The cost of the structure is nominal; no employee retraining expense is required.

摘要翻译： 在第二最近行和第四最近行的数字核心（即QWERTY D K 3和8）和数字键盘上的中心键操作的键被提供有手定位结构。 手指的手定位是基于手臂，手腕，手指和手指的解剖结构和生物机械功能，手定位结构通过2点辨别的神经感觉过程起作用。 通过极少的练习，手部定位结构的使用在潜意识反射水平上快速起作用。 手定位结构使得操作者能够在文本或显示屏幕上保持视觉聚焦和集中，从而消除由于眼睛运动引起的不必要的眼睛运动和文本读取错误。 结构和方法可以消除主排，从而消除尴尬的动作和扭曲，并消除由于尴尬的动作和扭曲造成的错误。 结构和方法可以使手位于数字行上而不是主排，从而消除尴尬的动作和扭曲，并提高数字的速度，准确性和效率。 手定位结构为手指和手提供生物机械平衡和对称性; 通过提高操作速度，精度，效率，移动性，灵活性，运动流动性和生产力来改善键盘操作; 减轻运动员的精神，情绪，视觉和神经肌肉压力和疲劳; 并且有助于学习如何操作键盘。 结构的成本是名义上的; 不需要雇员再培训费用。

摘要： An improved keyboard for computer terminals, computer input devices, word processors, typewriters and any other operating or simulator keyboard is disclosed in which selected keys of the keyboard are selectively positioned and aligned to enable a proper alignment of the left forearm and left hand from elbow to fingertips for the keys that are operated by the left hand, and to enable fast, accurate, unobstructed and comfortable movement of the fingers of the left hand; and in which selected keys of the keyboard are selectively positioned and aligned to enable a proper alignment of the right forearm and right hand from elbow to fingertips for the keys that are operated by the right hand and to enable fast, accurate, unobstructed and comfortable movement of the fingers of the right hand. The improved keyboard also provides a tactile and visual means for placing the hands in proper positions on the keyboard. The improved keyboard also provides a tactile and visual means for placing the keyboard in proper position in relation to the mid-line of the operator's body. Keyboarding by an experienced operator is made faster, more efficient, more accurate and more comfortable. The invention facilitates teaching, learning, and operating keyboards, especially the Alpha-Numeric keyboard. The invention also provides a method for improving keyboarding operations.
