US Patent:

7606024, Oct 20, 2009

Filed:

Aug 16, 2007

Appl. No.:

11/840038

Inventors:

Gregory J. Boss - American Fork UT, US
George R. Langlais - Nashua NH, US
Timothy M. Waters - Hiram GA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06F 1/16

US Classification:

36167957, 70 58

Abstract:

A computing device including a first computer portion pivotally connected to a second computer portion by a hinge. The computing device further includes an element moveable between a first position, in which the hinge is free to rotate, and a second position, in which the hinge is substantially prevented from rotating. A lock selectively controls movement of the element between the first and second positions.

Inventors:

Gregory J. Boss - American Fork UT, US
George R. Langlais - Nashua NH, US
Timothy M. Waters - Hiram GA, US

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G08B 13/14

US Classification:

3405681

Abstract:

An anti-theft system for portable computing devices, and more particularly, to a countermeasure system and method triggered by movement of a computing screen to prevent the theft of a computing device. The device comprises a base portion, a display portion hingedly attached to the base portion and a sensor configured to detect a motion of the display portion with respect to the base portion. The device further includes a system activated when the sensor detects a motion of the display portion outside a predetermined location.

Appl. No.:

7/096204

Inventors:

George O. Langlais - Nashua NH
Pat Y. H. Wang - Nashua NH
Joseph S. Chaplick - Nashua NH

Assignee:

Nashua Corporation - Nashua NH

International Classification:

C09D 1100

US Classification:

106 21

Abstract:

Disclosed is a coating composition for producing a high solids content carboxymethylcellulose based "CB" coating for use in pressure sensitive carbonless copy systems. The formulation comprises carboxylmethylcellulose, a wall-forming carboxylated acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, a polyvalent metal salt, and an oil containing color-forming dye. The composition has a solids content of at lesat 30% and a viscosity within the range of 50 to 5000 centiposes. The CB paper exhibits the ability to produce improved imaging on computer and dot matrix printers because of better release efficiency and may be manufactured using less energy.

Abstract:

Disclosed is a coating composition for producing a high solids content carboxymethylcellulose based "CB" coating for use in pressure sensitive carbonless copy systems. The formulation comprises carboxylmethylcellulose, a wall-forming carboxylated acrylic resin, an organic cross-linker, a polyvalent metal salt, and an oil containing color-forming dye. The composition has a solids content of at least 30% and a viscosity within the range of 50 to 5000 centiposes. The CB paper exhibits the ability to produce improved imaging on computer and dot matrix printers because of better release efficiency and may be manufactured using less energy.
