Apparatus for converting a visual image into a tactile image. The apparatus comprises imaging means for converting incident light from the visual image into electrical signals that are proportional to the gray scale intensity of the incident light. The apparatus also comprises a tactile display device having a two-dimensional array of variable height pixels, wherein the height of each pixel in the tactile display is dynamically variable in proportion to the electrical signals from the imaging means. Preferably, the height of each pixel is inversely proportional to the gray scale intensity of the incident light so that the maximum height of a pixel occurs when a corresponding pixel in the visual image is black.

A method that enables automatic retrieval and transfer of bibliographical information whenever content is copied from a web page. During creation of a web page, the meta data defining each independent portion of the content is linked via paired comments or meta tags to bibliographical information associated with the content. When a person accesses the web site and copies the content from the site, the bibliographical information is automatically appended to the content. If that content is then pasted into a different document, e.g., within a word processing application, the bibliographical information is automatically transferred to a location for such information within the document. Also, if the content is saved, the bibliographical information is saved along with the content.

An all-in-one network communication cable and security cable apparatus for securing computing devices is provided. The all-in-one cable combines the security aspects of a steel or other cut-proof cable with a network communication cable and provides a locking mechanism that only permits the authorized user to disconnect the all-in-one cable from the computing device and the structure mounted network communication connection jack. In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a standard RJ45 Ethernet Cable is provided with a cut-proof casing and a slidable locking sheath that is capable of being slid under the depressible lever of the RJ45 connector. This locking mechanism includes a lock that may be set by the user so that the locking mechanism is not removable without the proper key or combination. The slidable locking sheath, when engaged, does not allow the lever of the RJ45 connector to be depressed.

A method, a system, an apparatus, and a computer program product for automatically processing a facsimile document at a receiving device is presented. The receiving device stores a set of facsimile processing rules for automatically processing facsimile documents. The receiving device receives and stores a facsimile document and associated caller ID data from an originating device during a facsimile transmission. The receiving device then compares an originating phone number in the caller ID data against phone numbers in the set of facsimile processing rules. Each facsimile processing rule comprises one or more phone numbers and facsimile processing rule parameter data. In response to matching the originating phone number with a phone number in a facsimile processing rule, a modified facsimile document is then generated such that the modified facsimile document includes information associated with facsimile processing rule parameter data in the matching facsimile processing rule. The receiving device may then send the modified facsimile document via a facsimile transmission to a destination device at a phone number specified in the facsimile processing rule parameter data. The facsimile document can be modified by placing, in an identified empty region within the facsimile document, the information associated with facsimile processing rule parameter data in the matching facsimile processing rule.

A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for requesting a page from a server across a network data processing system. The page is requested a first time from a client application in the data processing system in which the page is requested using a domain name. An Internet Protocol address for the domain name is looked up for the page on a remote domain name server. The Internet Protocol address is used to request the page. The Internet Protocol address is stored locally in the data processing system in a database of Internet Protocol translations in association with the domain name for the page and wherein the database is accessible only by the client application. As a result, subsequent requests for the page may be processed using this database. The database of Internet Protocol translations is referenced to determine whether an Internet Protocol address for a selected page is present in response to a request for the selected page. The selected page is requested using an Internet Protocol address returned from the database of Internet Protocol translations if the Internet Protocol address is present in the database of Internet Protocol translations. The remote domain name server is queried to determine the Internet Protocol address of the selected page if the Internet Protocol address for the selected page cannot be determined from referencing the database of Internet Protocol translations.

摘要:
A combination power cord and security system for a portable computing device. A security cable is provided which is constructed of a sheath of braided steel or other secure material. A lockable connector is mounted to one end of the security cable for connection to the portable computing device. A loop is provided at the other end for affixing the security cable to an anchor object. A power cable is formed integrally with the security cable. The power cable includes a power adaptor preferably mounted within the connector at one end of the security cable and a power plug at the other end for receiving electrical power.

A move/copy interface is provided with a pause feature that allows the user to pause and subsequently resume a move or copy command. In one embodiment, the pause, tool saves an index, source file name, target file name, block size and block number so that the operation can be subsequently resumed. After a pause has been requested, a “resume” command button appears on the, user interface that is selected by the user to resume processing. Extended periods between a pause and subsequent resume are provided by saving the pause data to a data file. Another embodiment pauses a copy operation over a computer network, such as the Internet, suspending the source computer's sending of blocks of data comprising the source file until the resume operation is requested. The user can repeatedly pause and resume the copy operation in order to free system resources in order to perform other operations.

A method for operation of dynamic server page engines, including opening a first dynamic server page in a first dynamic server page engine comprising a dynamic server page meta-engine, writing, to an output of the dynamic server page meta-engine, the content of the first dynamic server page, and writing to a second dynamic server page the content to be rendered by a second dynamic server page engine. Embodiments also include rendering, in the second server page engine, the second dynamic server page, providing back to the dynamic server page meta-engine as output from the rendering the second dynamic server page as rendered, and writing the second dynamic server page as rendered to the output of the dynamic server page meta-engine.

A method for limiting the size of print jobs in a computer network by setting a predetermined quota for the number of pages a network user may print within a specified time period is provided. If a print job submitted by a network user exceeds the print quota, the job will automatically be prevented from printing. If the submitted print job does not exceed the print quota, the job will be allowed to proceed. In one embodiment of the present invention, a network user may request special permission to exceed the print quota, if necessary.
