A method of switching between object resources in different storage domains. The method comprises renaming a link to a first object in a first domain with a name of a second object in a second domain, and renaming a link to the second object in the second domain with a name of the first object in the first domain.

Network switching device

In a manually movable computer mouse with a mouse movement sensing system for providing mouse movement signals, and at least one user finger operable control switch, for providing control signals for a graphic user interface, the mouse has a boomerang shaped body ergonomically shaped to fit and support the user's hand in a naturally relaxed curled hand position, with a main body portion and a narrower neck portion extending at an angle of about 45 degrees to 90 degrees to the main body narrow enough to be interposeable between the thumb and first finger, and with an integral mouse movement control fin or tab extending above the mouse body and being thinly shaped to fit in the relaxed space between the first and second fingers (and to also provide an alternate pen-like grip between the thumb and first finger) to orient the mouse to the users hand and move the mouse with user arm movements. An integral wrist support may be provided extending from the wrist end of the mouse. The movement sensing system is adjacent that same end.

Ergonomic computer mouse

A method of identifying a part with a storage location including the steps of transmitting identification information for the part and the storage location to a support system, supplying power to the remote device, transmitting a code sequence, associated with the transmitted identification information, from the support system to the remote device, wherein the code sequence is a random code whose sequence is changed to a different code sequence when power is removed from the remote device and notifying an operator externally when attempting to locate the storage location.

Operation ready signal light device

A three hole punch system for use in an image capturing device. The three hole punch system uses elastomer rollers that punch holes in the edge of a document as is passes between the two rollers. If desired the rollers can act as a transport for the document without punching holes in the document. After the holes are punched the slugs are pushed back into the holes and the document is retrieved by the operator.

Hole punch apparatus

A three hole punch system is for use in an image capturing device. The three hole punch system uses elastomeric rollers that punch holes in the edge of a sheet as it passes between two rollers. If desired, the rollers can act as a transport for the sheet without punching holes in the sheet. After the holes are punched, the resultant slugs are pushed back into the holes and the sheet is retrieved by the operator.

Replaceable hole punch for image capturing devices

In a manually movable computer mouse with a mouse movement sensing system for providing mouse movement signals, and at least one user finger operable control switch, for providing control signals for a graphic user interface, the mouse has a boomerang shaped body ergonomically shaped to fit and support the user's hand in a naturally relaxed curled hand positon, with a main body portion and a narrower neck portion extending at an angle of about 45 degrees to 90 degrees to the main body narrow enough to be interposeable between the thumb and first finger, and with an integral mouse movement control fin or tab extending above the mouse body and being thinly shaped to fit in the relaxed space between the first and second fingers (and to also provide an alternate pen-like grip between the thumb and first finger) to orient the mouse to the user hand and move the mouse with user arm movements. An integral wrist support may be provided extending from the wrist end of the mouse. The movement sensing system is adjacent that same end.
