| 400091000 | STENOGRAPHIC TYPEWRITER | 10 |
| 20110110696 | Adjustable Stenographic Keyboard Device and Method for Electronically Adjusting Key Depth Sensitivity - A device and method for determining key registration settings in a stenographic device, includes a plurality of keys making up a standard stenographic keyboard, each key having a resting position, a depressed position, and a range of depression positions between the resting position and the depressed position, a memory, and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and to the plurality of keys. The processor is operable to store in the memory, for at least one of the keys, a depression indicator corresponding to a current depression position of the key selected from the resting position, the depressed position, and one of the depression positions within the range of depression positions. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110116854 | Stenographic Keyboard Device Providing Extended Set of Keys and Method for Electronically Adjusting Key Depth Sensitivity - A method for entering information through a keyboard of a stenographic machine includes the steps of entering a first stenographic character by transitioning a key in a first set of keys from a first rest position to a fully depressed position at a given distance away from a first upper surface in a key-depressing direction, transitioning at least one key in a second set of keys from a second rest position to a second depressed position, the second rest position being further from the first rest position in the key-depressing direction than the given distance, and, while the at least one key in the second set of keys is in the second depressed position, entering at least a portion of a second stenographic character different from the first stenographic character by transitioning the at least one key in the first set of keys from the first rest position to a depressed position. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20140199106 | ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT KEYSET FOR STENOGRAPHIC MACHINE - A stenographic machine including a housing, a stenographic processing unit in the housing, and a stenographic keyboard at the housing and operatively connected to the stenographic processing unit to record stenographic dictation by a user. The stenographic keyboard has a plurality of adjustable key assemblies pivotally connected thereto. Each key assembly has a key cap having a first removable securing portion and a stenographic keyboard key lever having a second removable securing portion cooperating with the first removable securing portion to removably hold the key cap thereat over a variety of different positions, a lever connection end having a pivoting connection attached to the stenographic keyboard to move between a steady-state raised position and a depressed lowered position, and an extension portion extending away from the second removable securing portion and to the lever connection end. | 07-17-2014 |
| 20150352860 | CHARACTER ACTUATOR DEVICE FOR FORMING WORDS - A character actuating device for forming words utilizing a plurality of actuators that form the beginnings, endings, and vowel structures in words found in multiple languages. Certain actuators may also be employed to alter the words formed by the first, second, and third actuators, as wells as to shorten the number of strokes needed to form the words used by first, second, and third actuators. | 12-10-2015 |

| 20130051887 | Device and Method for Identifying Stacking and Splitting of Stenographic Keystrokes - A method, device, and computer program product for analyzing multiple keystrokes in an electronic stenographic recording machine having keys forming stenographic keystrokes when actuated includes sensing a depressed state of at least first and second keys and recording first and second depression times, sensing released states of the first and second keys and recording first and second release times, determining an elapsed depression-release time for each of the first and second stenographic keys, determining a percentage of chronological overlap of each of the elapsed depression-release times, and separating the first and second key depressions into separate stenographic keystrokes when the percentage of chronological overlap indicates a lack of correlation between the first and second key depressions. | 02-28-2013 |
| 20140255073 | ADJUSTABLE STENOGRAPHIC KEYBOARD DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONICALLY ADJUSTING KEY DEPTH SENSITIVITY - A stenographic device includes a display, a memory, keys of a stenographic keyboard, each key having a resting position where the key is un-actuated, a depressed position where the key is actuated to register a key stroke, and a range of depression positions therebetween, and a processor communicatively coupled to the display, memory, and the keys. The processor causes the display to graphically show a respective depression indicator of a current one of the depression positions for each of the keys, stores in the memory a respective key-press registration point for each of the keys, the registration point being a depression position located within the range of depression positions and indicating when the respective key is in the actuated state, and causes the display to graphically show a respective registration indicator corresponding to the stored registration point for each of the keys. | 09-11-2014 |
| 20140270883 | Stenographic Machine with Tilting Screen - A stenographic machine includes a machine body and a display screen assembly. The machine body has a stenographic keyboard, a display connector, and a stenographic processor operatively connected to the stenographic keyboard and storing stenographic dictation by a stenographer. The display screen assembly has a back rest having a first end pivotally connected to the display connector and a second end. The display screen assembly has a screen body having a display operatively connected to the stenographic processor to display at least one of concurrent and previously stored stenographic dictation to a stenographer, having a screen face and a screen outer back surface, and is pivotally connected to the second end such that, when the display is pivoted downwards, the outer back surface faces upwards and, when the display pivoted upwards, the screen face faces a user and moves closer to the user as pivoting progresses. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20150314611 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING STACKING AND SPLITTING OF STENOGRAPHIC KEYSTROKES - A method, device, and computer program product for analyzing multiple keystrokes in an electronic stenographic recording machine having keys forming stenographic keystrokes when actuated includes sensing a depressed state of at least first and second keys and recording first and second depression times, sensing released states of the first and second keys and recording first and second release times, determining an elapsed depression-release time for each of the first and second stenographic keys, determining a percentage of chronological overlap of each of the elapsed depression-release times, and separating the first and second key depressions into separate stenographic keystrokes when the percentage of chronological overlap indicates a lack of correlation between the first and second key depressions. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20160031230 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING STACKING AND SPLITTING OF STENOGRAPHIC KEYSTROKES - A method, device, and computer program product for analyzing multiple keystrokes in an electronic stenographic recording machine having keys forming stenographic keystrokes when actuated includes sensing a depressed state of at least first and second keys and recording first and second depression times, sensing released states of the first and second keys and recording first and second release times, determining an elapsed depression-release time for each of the first and second stenographic keys, determining a percentage of chronological overlap of each of the elapsed depression-release times, and separating the first and second key depressions into separate stenographic keystrokes when the percentage of chronological overlap indicates a lack of correlation between the first and second key depressions. | 02-04-2016 |
