This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/209,539 now abandoned, filed Mar. 11, 1994 which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
The present invention is in the area of desktop peripheral I/O devices for personal computers and pertains more specifically to pointer devices.
In the 1960s a hand-held pointer device, dubbed a "mouse", was introduced to provide a fast and intuitively simple means of information retrieval from menu-driven, on-screen computer user interfaces. Physical movement of the mouse over a flat surface causes a corresponding movement of a cursor on the host computer screen. A button on top of the mouse allowed the user to select menu items. The mouse rapidly became a basic component of personal computer hardware configurations, allowing users to bypass more tedious keyboard input. Today there is an ever-expanding array of different styles of mice, including cordless mice, an upside-down type of mouse, known as a trackball, and others. These devices are generally known now as pointer devices.
To provide flexibility, cordless communication has been developed for pointer devices, such as mice. A cordless mouse typically sends signals to a receiver attached to a computer's serial port or bus. The transmission medium may be low-power infrared or radio signals, among others. Magnetic induction is also a known communication medium between a pointer device and host.
Advancements in computer technology provide an ever-increasing variety of external peripheral devices. This may be desirable, but work areas have become cluttered with numerous devices such as pointers, remote control units, microphones, audio recorders/players, and speakers. Travellers with portable computers are even more encumbered as they wrestle with an unwieldy quantity of peripheral equipment and cables when setting up an office away from home.
With the advent of portable computers the idea of a built-in pointer devices was explored as a means of equipment consolidation. In recent years manufacturers have introduced portable computers with trackball pointers encased in the housings and permanently wired into the computer circuitry. Although such configurations have reduced the number of separate components, pointer device operation is still constrained. Built-in pointer devices cannot be lifted out and used freely as desktop or hand-held units, and users are denied freedom of cordless movement unless they have a separate cordless pointer device with a separate remote receiving unit.
What is needed is an apparatus and method that allows users the flexibility to conveniently store any one of a wide variety of pointer devices in a compartment in a portable computer housing, and to remove the pointer from the compartment for use in a desktop or hand-held environment. Such a pointer device might optionally be operable both in its storage case and when removed. It could be a cordless or corded unit and preferably would have more than one mode of operation.
In an embodiment of the present invention a general-purpose computer is provided comprising a housing enclosing and supporting a CPU, memory, and a bus structure; a compartment in the housing configured for holding a removable pointer device; a pointer device having a user interface for providing positional input and configured for storing in the compartment; and a communication system coupling the pointer device to the computer, configured to pass positional input from the user interface to the computer.
In various embodiments the removable pointer device may take a number of forms, such as a trackball, a mouse, a polar coordinate input device deployable from a compartment, and a broadcast system wherein the location of a pointer is determined by radio transmissions and echo to a receiver in the host.
In various embodiments the pointer devices deployable from a compartment in the host may be connected by a cable to the host, or may be cordless, transmitting data to the host by such as infrared or variable magnetic field. In some embodiments the pointer may be used while docked in the on-board compartment, and communication while docked is by engagement of physical electrical connectors.
In another aspect of the invention a combination pointer device is provided having capabilities of both a trackball and a mouse pointer, and usable as either while removed from the docking well in the keyboard or the host enclosure. In the well the combination device is usable as a trackball.
In yet another embodiment a broadcast pointer device is provided having two transmitters and a receiver unit in the host computer, and merely an echo apparatus in or associated with a stylus, such that the computer can track the position of the stylus by transmitting to the echo apparatus and analyzing returned signals from the echo apparatus. In one such embodiment an echo device is provided in a small housing in a manner that the device can be attached to an existing pen, pencil, or stylus. In this embodiment a user may employ his or her preferred writing instrument, and the host can track movement of the instrument in substantially real time, and use the tracking data to control a cursor on a display monitor, and to perform other functions conventionally controlled by a pointer device.
The removable pointer device with a storage compartment in the host computer provides an extra degree of freedom and flexibility for pointer input, and addresses problems in the art of proliferation and complexity.

FIG. 1B is an isometric view similar to FIG. 1A showing a mouse-type pointer device 20 deployed for use from compartment 12, and connected to the host computer by a cable 22. The cable may be stored in this case in compartment 12 along with the pointer device. There are also alternative ways the cable might connect, such as at a parallel or a serial port on the host.
FIG. 1C is an isometric view of a notebook computer showing a cordless mouse device 22 storable in compartment 12 and deployed for use.

Further details of the combination are described below with reference to FIGS. 5 A-D.
FIG. 1G is an isometric view of a notebook computer showing a combination trackball/pointer device 38 with cordless communication, and deployed from compartment 12 for use. In this case, the communication system is infra-red, and there is a receiver 24 on the host.
FIG. 1H is an isometric view of a general-purpose portable computer 11 with a removable pointer device 17 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Computer 11 comprises a housing 15 and a tilt-up display 13. The computer housing encloses standard electronic operating elements, such as a CPU microprocessor and system RAM, not shown in FIG. 1H. There are connectors (not shown) to serial devices and the like, which are typical for portable computers. A keyboard unit 19 provides a for user input. Removable pointer device 17, inset in well 16 in the housing, comprises a trackball design including a rotatable ball 21 to transmit directional information to the host, left and right control buttons 23 and 25 for discrete signalling, and a drag control button 27. The purpose of drag control button 27 is to signal that trackball movement is to be directed toward dragging an onscreen virtual object, a procedure well known in the art. Concave depressions 29 and 31 on opposite sides of well 16 allow space for a user to grasp the removable pointer device to snap it in and out of the well so it can be used as a separate unit.
The transmission medium between removable pointer and host in this embodiment is infrared, which is transmitted from a light-emitting diode (LED). Two photodiode receivers are imbedded in the computer housing, one in a wall of the well for stationary mode reception (not shown in FIG. 1H) and one receiver 33 in the front of the housing for portable mode reception. The photodiode receivers are connected with a common circuitry within the host computer.
FIG. 1I is an isometric view of computer 11 with pointer device 17 removed from the well in the housing, deployed for use external to the housing.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of removable pointer device 17, showing LED transmitter 24 inside the device facing photodiode receiver 26 inside a wall of well 16. In the side walls of well 16, concave depressions 29 and 31 allow a user to grasp removable pointer device 17 and snap it in or out of well 16. The removable pointer device is held in place in this embodiment by light resistance provided by spring-loaded ball/detent pairs 35 and 37 on both sides of the device. Spring loading may originate from either the pointer device or in the wall of the well. Vertical guide rails along the well walls, not shown in FIG. 2, allow detents 35 and 37 to slide smoothly into the well and snap into place once seated. The method of docking and latching a removable pointer device into a location in the computer host is not limited to the description for this embodiment. There are known in the art many other equivalent ways that can satisfactorily perform such a function. For instance, instead of the pointer device being seated squarely in the well, the device can be inserted at a slant into the well and snapped down into a spring-loaded base. The device can be released by the user pressing an indentation near the base of the device. Another variation is for the well to open to the front of the housing so the pointer device can slide in and out on guide rails. Spring-loaded detents along the sides hold the device in place while it is docked in this embodiment.
FIG. 3 is a mostly diagrammatic representation of the internal components of removable pointer device 17 for the embodiment described for FIGS. 1 and 2. Two rollers, 45 and 47, are mounted at right angles and bear against trackball 21. As trackball 21 rotates, roller 45 responds to movements in a first direction and roller 47 senses movements at 90� to the first direction. The rollers are connected to encoder wheels 49 and 51, which transmit signals relative to movement to controller 65.
Removable pointer device 17 is powered by a battery 62 that is rechargeable in this embodiment by charger circuit 60 when the pointer device is seated in well 16. Battery charger 60 receives electrical current from the computer host through a spring-loaded contact base, or any other suitable type of charging contact. In this embodiment a spring wiper contact 43 is located on one side of the well and a fixed contact 41 is on the side of the pointer. Contacts are well known in the art and there are many equivalent ways that such a contact can be configured. For example, in other embodiments there may be a female connector on the bottom of the pointer device that plugs into a male connector in the bottom of the host well. Such an arrangement not only serves as an electrical contact, but also holds the pointer device in the well, minimizing or eliminating the need for detents. Signals produced from the trackball's motion are converted to infrared signals by microprocessor-based controller 65 and output through LED transmitter 24 to photodiode receiver 26 in the well wall, or if the pointer is being used outside the well, photo diode receiver 33 on the front side of the housing as shown in FIG. 1. Input signals from control buttons 23, 25, and 27 are also processed by controller 65.
FIG. 4 is a mostly diagrammatic representation of the internal components of a cordless removable pointer device 68 in an alternative embodiment that uses magnetic induction as the medium of communication between pointer device and host. All electromechanical components in FIG. 4 are the same as those described for the FIG. 3 configuration except electrical signals from the encoders and control buttons are input by a microprocessor-based current controller 90, which passes the current through a one-turn generator loop 70, creating a magnetic field represented by exemplary field lines 71. Receiving loop 72, which is located in the host housing, transmits a magnetically induced current to a demodulator 73, which forwards the coded signal to a controller.
There are a number of equivalent ways a receiving apparatus may be configured for reception by magnetic induction. For example, such an apparatus might be built into the case of the host computer, or implemented on an add-on printed circuit board. Also, FIG. 4 is largely diagrammatical, as stated above, and the transmission and receptor loops are not drawn to actual size relative to other components. In general, both loops are much larger than shown, and there may be more than a single turn in some embodiments.
In another embodiment of the invention, a cordless unit is provided having both stationary and portable mode features as described above relative to FIG. 1, and configured to operate both as a trackball and a mouse device. In this embodiment one side of the combined removable pointer device is a typical trackball unit and when the device is turned over, it may be used as a mouse. Operating mode is selected by a switch on the side of the device.
FIG. 5A is a plan view of a combined removable pointer device 81. Pointer device 81 comprises on the surface shown in FIG. 5A all the elements described for a trackball unit in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, with the addition of an operating mode switch 91 on one side. The user moves switch 91 to select between trackball and mouse operation. Trackball 83, control buttons 93, 95, and 89, LED transmitter 99, and charging intact 97 are located in the same positions as are their counterparts in the removable trackball of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 5B is a plan view of the opposite side of combined removable pointer device 81. In this embodiment, control buttons 101 and 103 are flush with the outside surface of the body of the pointer device, so when used as a trackball, the device can sit squarely on a desktop surface or in its well. In a conventional trackball device, the rotator ball is not loosely mounted like that on a mouse so the ball does not naturally fall to the desktop surface when the unit is inverted. This problem is solved in the present embodiment by the relationship between the height of protrusion of the three pushbuttons on the side of trackball 21, and the height of protrusion of the trackball.
FIG. 5C shows combination pointer device 81 in contact with a flat surface 82. Dimension D1 from the casing to the outer surface of any of the control buttons is greater than dimension D2 from the unit casing to the trackball. Slight pressure exerted on the unit causes spring-loaded control buttons 89, 93, and 95 to depress bringing ball 83 into contact with surface 82, so lateral movement will cause the ball to rotate.
The phenomenon of riding on the spring-loaded buttons provides a new aspect of control in operating the pointer device as a mouse. For example, in the often-occurring situation with a mouse where surface area available for mouse operations is limited, the mouse often has to be picked up and repositioned on the operating surface. Picking up the mouse so the ball does not touch the operating surface insures that position signals are not transmitted while the mouse is repositioned. With a mouse according to this embodiment of the present invention, the mouse can be repositioned simply by relaxing the slight downward pressure necessary to cause the ball to contact the operating surface. This seems at first encounter to be a small difference, but translates to considerable advantage, especially in situations where the available operating surface is severely limited.
FIG. 5D is a mostly diagrammatic view of the internal components of combined removable device 81. Internally the trackball and mouse input components share circuitry as shown for the removable pointer device embodiment in FIG. 3, with the addition of operating mode switch 91 and control buttons 101 and 103.
In alternative embodiments, either a removable trackball device or a combined trackball-mouse device as described above may be connected to the host unit by a power cable. There are many ways a cable connection might be implemented for using such devices while removed from the well on the host. For example, at some point on the case of the host computer a small bay may have a cable electrically connected to the host bus and the cable wound on a small reel with a connector on the outward end for connecting to the pointer device when removed from the well. There are many equivalent ways a cable connection might be implemented. In an alternative embodiment, a pointer device sends polar coordinate location signals in response to movements made by a mechanically attached, extendable positional input bar. FIG. 6A is a plan view of such a polar coordinate pointer device 99 stored in unextended form inside a compartment 97 in host housing 95. Positional input bar 101, which passes through a sensored pivot 103, can be extended from opening 100 by the user pulling handle 107. A preferred location for the device for a right-handed person is on the right side of the housing that contains keyboard 94, but it could be located in any other place as well, such as on the left side for left-handed users. Operational control buttons 96, 97, and 98 of the type typically used to control discrete pointer signalling, are located in another area of housing 95 in this embodiment, such as on the left front side.
FIG. 6B is a plan view of polar coordinate pointer device 99 in extended operating position. Positional input bar 101 can be held by handle 107 and freely moved in a horizontal plane over an area adjacent to the computer housing. A stop near the inboard end of positional input bar 101 limits the maximum distance the bar can be extended. On the outboard end of positional input bar 101, a pivoted handle 107 is attached by a vertical pin. Such a handle could have any of a number of different shapes.
In one embodiment, grooved channels (not shown) along the length of the input bar engage mating guides in the pivot to prevent rotation of the bar around the longitudinal axis. There are a number of equivalent ways the engagement and guiding function may be accomplished.
Sensors at pivot 103 (not shown), track radial displacement of positional input bar 101. Other sensors (not shown) track rotation of the pivot mechanism, which is the angular displacement of positional input bar 101. There are a number of types and arrangements of bar guides and sensors that would be suitable. Sensor information is transformed from polar coordinates to cartesian coordinates, and used as pointer input in the same fashion that trackball or mouse positional input is used. Input from control buttons 96, 97, and 98 in FIG. 6A, is interpreted just as control button input from a trackball or mouse device.
FIG. 6C is a graphic illustration of the geometry involved in the transformation of displacement measurements of positional input bar 101 from R, Θ polar coordinates to x,y rectangular coordinates that can be used for screen cursor output. In FIG. 6C, points P1 and P2 represent two x,y positions of pivoted handle 107 on positional input bar 101 measured from pivot 103 at P0. Point P1 is at radial distance R1 and angle Θ1 from P0 ; point P2 is at radial distance R2 and angle Θ2 from P0. The maximum radial distance, Rmax, the bar can be displaced is shown as a circular arc. Through transformation equations, x=R cos Θ and y=R sin Θ, x,y positions of both P1 and P2 points can be calculated.
There are a number of variations to the pointer described with reference to FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C. For example, the pivot mechanism, bar, and handle could all be a part of a mechanism dockable in the computer case, and removable as a unit to be placed external to the computer and operated. In this alternative, the removable unit could be connected to the host by a cable, or could communicate by infra-red or inductive techniques.
FIG. 7A is a plan view of yet another alternative embodiment of the present invention, wherein a removable, cordless, pointer receives broadcast signals from multiple antennas in or on the host, and echos the signals to a receiver in the host in a manner that allows control circuitry to track the position of the moving pointer. The tracked position of the movable pointer is used in the manner that pointer input from other types of pointers is used.
FIG. 7A shows one edge of a body 311 of a host computer, having a storage compartment 313 and three antennas 315, 317, and 319. A movable pointer device 321 is storable in a compartment 313 when not in use, and may be removed and deployed, as shown in FIG. 7A, for use.
FIG. 7B is a schematic of internal elements of device 321, showing a rectifier circuit of two antennas 323 and 329 connected with capacitors 325 and 327, and a diode 331. In operation in this particular embodiment, antennas 315 and 317 in the host are sending antennas, and antenna 319 in the host is a receiving antenna.
In one mode of operation, a carrier wave of a common frequency and amplitude is broadcast by each of sending antennas 315 and 317, but the signals are broadcast at a pre-programmed phase shift. The rectifier circuit in the pointer device intercepts the broadcast signals, combines (sums) them, and echoes a rectified waveform having a frequency known in the radio arts as the Hull frequency. This signal is received at antenna 319, where connected circuitry analyzes the signal to determine the position of the pointer relative to the broadcast and receiving antennas.
The receiving antenna intercepts both the original broadcast signals as well as the echoed signal, but the broadcast signals are at a much higher and known frequency than the echoed signal, and are filtered. FIG. 7D is a simplified illustration of an echoed signal 333 at receiving antenna 319.
Echoed signal 333 exhibits an amplitude Ae and a frequency (1/te) that are indicative of the position of the pointer device. The amplitude is a function of the ratio of the distances to the pointer from each of the sending antennas, providing a locus, and the position on the locus is fixed by the frequency. The radio principles to relied upon for the broadcast cursor are well known in the radio arts, and are no more detailed explanation is presented here.
The information contained in the echoed signal is sufficient to locate the position of the pointer device near the host in essentially real time, and circuitry to provide this information to the host computing elements in a manner to control a display cursor and the like, is well known.
FIG. 7C shows a broadcast pointer system comprising a host 411, and three antennas 415, 417, and 419, similar to that shown in FIG. 7A, wherein a stylus 421 is employed rather than a mouse-type pointer. In this embodiment the rectifier circuitry shown in FIG. 7B is implemented in a region 423 near the point of the stylus. The stylus embodiment operates in the same manner as does the mouse-type pointer described above, except the holding and manipulating of the pointer is in the manner of wielding a pen or a pencil, rather than a mouse. This embodiment provides a convenient way to input cursive writing and printing to the host computer. With appropriate circuitry monitoring and interpreting stylus movement, one may duplicate the functions of a pen-based input system. When not in use, stylus 421 resides in a compartment 413 in the host.
FIG. 7E shows another embodiment of the present invention using a stylus sleeve 425 as an alternative to stylus 421. Stylus sleeve 425 in a preferred embodiment is made of synthetic rubber, elasticized plastic, or the like, and can be affixed to many types of conventional writing instruments or other similar instruments.
Stylus sleeve 425 comprises a tubular section 422, a rectifier section 424, and rectifier circuitry 321. Tubular section 422 is made from a flexible material, as described above, which is form retentive and provides for the insertion of many types of writing or other similar instruments through its inner diameter. The elasticity and the surface tension of tubular section 422 material holds stylus sleeve 425 firmly in place on a stylus, pencil, pen, or other suitable instrument. Rectifier section 424 provides for encapsulating rectifier circuitry 321. Rectifier circuitry 321 provides for radio signal referencing with a host computer, as is described above for the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C, and 7D.
FIG. 7F is a transparent view of stylus sleeve 425 over, and near the point of, a writing instrument 418. Rectifier circuitry 321 is shown encapsulated in rectifier section.
FIG. 7G shows stylus sleeve 425 affixed over and held firmly in place near the point of a writing instrument 418. Stylus sleeve 425 permits any type of conventional writing or similar instrument to operate in the same manner as does the mouse-type device described above, except the holding and manipulating of the pointer device is in the manner of wielding a pen or a pencil, rather than a mouse. Stylus sleeve 425 works with the same broadcast system 423 shown in FIG. 7C. This embodiment, however, provides a useful alternative to the stylus 421 (FIG. 7C.) in that any convenient device, such as a pen, pencil, or other similar instrument, can be used to input movement for cursor positioning on a display, cursive writing, printing, and drawing elements to the host computer. A user simply mounts stylus sleeve 425 over a writing or similar instrument, and begins pointer operations. With appropriate circuitry monitoring and interpreting stylus sleeve 425 movement, one may duplicate the functions of a pen or pencil-based input system. When not in use, stylus sleeve 425 resides in a compartment 413 in the host. In some embodiments the carrier stylus or writing instrument may be stored in the compartment with sleeve 425 in place.
Removable devices according to various embodiments of the present invention are particularly applicable to notebook and subnotebook computers. Such devices are not limited to portable computers, however. A removable device as described in the several embodiments above may also be implemented in a keyboard usable with a host computer, such as a desktop or workstation computer, including terminals designed to be used as nodes on a network.
FIG. 8 is an isometric view of a keyboard 211 having a removable device 213 according to an the embodiment of the invention described above with reference to FIGS. 1A and 1B. Keyboard 211 in this embodiment has a cable 215 for attaching to a host, and communicating both keystroke and data to the host, but may also be implemented with a keyboard that communicates in another manner with the host, such as by infrared signals or by inductance coupling.
In various embodiments of keyboards any and all of the embodiments described above relative to a host notebook-type computer may be implemented. In the case of a keyboard, it is usual to have a keyboard controller for coding keystroke data and imparting the data to the host. In the case of a removable device in a keyboard, the movement data is received by the keyboard controller and coded and passed to the host along with (multiplexed with) the keystroke data.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that there are a relatively large number of changes that may be made in the embodiments described without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Some additions and alternatives have been mentioned above. Different embodiments, for example, can be rendered in different shapes and sizes, and there are many ways known for providing the needed electrical connections and for transmitting signals.
In the case of the echo device for a broadcast pointer system described with the aid of FIGS. 7E, F, and G, there are a number of different ways the echo device may be formed, and a number of different ways the body may be formed and engagement with a stylus or writing instrument may be accomplished. The embodiment described, with a flexible body having a bore is but one alternative within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Chelsea face messy fixture congestion with FA Cup replay
Chelsea are facing a potential fixture pile up if they come through their Europa League match with Steaua Bucharest on Thursday. The Stamford Bridge club, managed by Rafa Benitez, below, cannot rearrange their FA Cup replay against Manchester United for next week because of the international break.
That means the tie is likely to be as late as April. If it is played on the weekend of 6 April, the Premier League would have to postpone Chelsea v Sunderland on the Saturday, and Manchester United v Manchester City on the Monday.
Chelsea meet Southampton on Sunday 31 March and could then play the quarter-final of the Europa League on Thursday 4 April, followed by the FA Cup replay with Manchester United two or three days later.
The semi-finals of the FA Cup are due for 13 and 14 April at Wembley Stadium.
McDermott sacked as Royals manager
Paolo Do Canio is among the frontrunners for the Reading manager's post after Brian McDermott was sacked with the club 19th in the Premier League having lost their last four games. Nigel Adkins and Roberto Di Matteo are also favourites with bookmakers for the job. MORE
Zarkandar could top Hurricane Fly
The first championship race of the week at the Cheltenham Festival, today's Stan James Champion Hurdle, lacks an obvious front-runner, with Ireland's 2011 winner Hurricane Fly and Zarkandar, trained by Paul Nicholls, likely to battle for the crown.
Festival gets under way amid big chill
Cheltenham racecourse officials remain confident that the four-day Festival, which opens today, will not be affected as a consequence of sub-zero temperatures, despite a wind-chill factor of -10C yesterday. Frost covers are likely to be redeployed later this evening.
Burns to fight two causes after switch
WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns will fight in Glasgow on 11 May after signing with promoter Eddie Hearn. However, Frank Warren has announced he will be suing Burns after the fighter switched promoters.
Ferdinand could return for England
England manager Roy Hodgson is weighing up the possibility of bringing Rio Ferdinand back into the squad, as the manager deals with two key absentees in central defence for the vital World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro later this month.
Watson presents resignation case
Australia vice-captain Shane Watson is considering his future after being left out for the third Test against India. Watson, along with three others, was omitted after failing to provide a team strategy presentation to coach Mickey Arthur. MORE
Gerrard pursues European place
Steven Gerrard has said a top-five finish would allow him to call this season a success and guarantee the European football the club craves. "Liverpool do not belong seventh, eighth or ninth in the table," he said. "Hopefully we are not too late." MORE
Murray swerves a third desert dump
Andy Murray was nearly defeated in the desert for a third straight year but managed to see off Russia's Evgeny Donskoy in the second round at Indian Wells yesterday morning. The Briton battled past world No 83 Donskoy 5-7, 6-2, 6-2.
Hull are back in the promotion places
Steve Bruce's Hull City moved back into second place in the Championship with a 1-0 victory at Burnley last night. Winger Stephen Quinn scored the only goal of the game in the 66th minute. It ended a run of three away defeats for Hull.

More Choices: SourceForge Adds to its Repertoire
SourceForge, the popular host of countless Open Source projects, is extending its repertoire of source code management systems, among them Git.
SourceForge should be familiar to most Open Source users: for many years the Internet platform has given thousands of software projects a virtual home, including the use of the Subversion and CVS source code management (SCM) systems.
SourceForge is now extending its offerings to free hosting for Git, Bazaar and Mercurial so that users can check their code in and out using these SCM systems.
The availability of diverse version control systems makes complete sense in view of the diverse needs. Linus Torvalds developed Git, for example, because no free alternatives existed at the time to satisfy kernel developers' requirements.
A few projects will probably take their time to switch to SourceForge, but they won't have to learn any new syntax. While MySQL, Launchpad and the Linux Foundation have for some time already used Bazaar for an SCM system, the ALSA, NFTS-3g and OpenJDK projects have used Mercurial.

The Benefits of BOTOX®
Prevents headaches and migraines before they start
BOTOX® is the first and only FDA-approved preventive treatment for Chronic Migraine. It's also the only treatment for people with Chronic Migraine that can help prevent headaches and migraines before they even start.
What makes BOTOX® a different type of treatment? Unlike acute treatments, which are taken to treat a headache or migraine once it's already begun, BOTOX® prevents headaches and migraines before they even start. BOTOX® prevents on average 8 to 9 headache days and migraine/probable migraine days a month (vs 6 to 7 for placebo). And for people with Chronic Migraine—people who live with 15 or more headache days a month—that can make a big difference.Learn more about what makes
Chronic Migraine different.

Government officials today formalized the addition of the People's Republic of China as the most recent member of the WorldWideScience Alliance. The signing ceremony was held in Ottawa, Canada. The addition of the Chinese database, from the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China, means that WorldWideScience.org, the global science gateway, now searches science and technology research and development results from 80 percent of the world's population. The multilateral WorldWideScience Alliance was established in June 2008 to govern this rapidly growing online gateway to international scientific research information.

High End Bedroom Furniture- to Bring in the World Class Décor
The high end bedroom furniture constitutes of platform beds that are created by designers defying all the usual norms of the conventional furniture designs. However, these are the designs that create modern beds that are more of art forms than furniture accessories. Each of these designs have been inspired by conventional furniture items, exotic cultures and even movies. While the designs serve their utilitarian use, they also embody the essence of the art form that gives the bedroom its signature looks. The bed being the biggest furniture item in the bedroom helps give the room the aura that the owner wants.

Want to Know More About living room furniture?
|Wally Modular Bookcase by Cattelan Italia
First Things First: Determining Purpose
When you want to create the perfect living room, the first step you should take is to determine what you want the living room's main function to be. This is important because not only does it dictate the way you arrange your living room, it also dictates what kind of furniture you're going to buy. For example, those who want their living room to be a formal space that is impeccably kept all times and only to be used when there are guests to be entertained may choose to purchase modern living room furniture or high end leather living room furniture.
On the other hand, people who want their living rooms to be the relaxed and comfortable place for family members to gather while watching TV, doing homework or having a snack may choose more contemporary living room furniture such as comfy and understated leather living room furniture.
On the other hand, people who want their living rooms to be the relaxed and comfortable place for family members to gather while watching TV, doing homework or having a snack may choose more contemporary living room furniture such as comfy and understated leather living room furniture.
Choosing the Right Elements
The number one rule that you must always remember when creating your dream living room is that you have to select furniture that makes you feel comfortable. You may want to have a modern living room but your own comfort should always come first. Pick modern living room furniture and contemporary living furniture that you will want to sit in or lay on for hours even if there are no guests to be entertained. A good way to merge your desired look for the living room and your own comfort is to invest in leather living room furniture. Not only does leather living room furniture have a luxurious and versatile feel to it, the longer you have the piece, the more comfortable it is to use.
Creating the perfect living room is easy as long as you have a clear goal in mind and pick the right elements for the room. Make wise decisions and don't be afraid to invest your money in high quality furniture. Soon you'll be making great first impressions and your guest's jaws will be dropping.

Modern Sofa Beds... Because You are the Perfect Host!
When you look for modern fabric sofas that can be converted into a bed there are many things you should consider. The first and foremost being how much space you have in your living room? When you have a fair idea of how much space you have you can choose a modern seating arrangement accordingly. There is no need to worry if the space you have is small, as there are a number of styles you can choose from that suit every kind of home.
The second thing that you should pay attention to is the fabric on the modern fabric sofas. You do not want to pick a fabric that gets dirty easily and needs a lot of maintenance but at the same time you want something that can last you a long time. So read up as much as you can about these modern sofa beds and have a look at a few design options on the internet in the many online stores that supply modern fabric sofas and you will get a fair idea of what you need and what will suit you best.
The third thing that you should focus on is the price of the modern sofa beds. These can be very expensive, but if you keep an eye out for deals in the neighbourhood home stores or on online stores, you will easily be able to get a bargain on your purchase.
You can make your house look lovely and you can also be known as the perfect host if you have one of these modern sofa beds in your home.

Latest Edition Updates
Today in History
01/02 A dozen "lost" entries re-added to the Reader Gallery tonight.
01/02 Huh. It looks like all of December's updates on this page have disappeared - probably releated to the new computer and all the files I had to move.
Anyway, January's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Justin "Bluesman" Miller's Colonial Viper. Justin passed away just before Christmas - rest in peace, my friend.
It's been a very, very busy couple of weeks in the Store -- too many new additions and restocks to note here, so just head on over to the Store Update page to see them all.
11/07 I've had problems with our ISP all weekend, trying to figure out why none of the new material I posted has shown up. I think it's fixed now.
11/03 November's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Danny Attree's lighted Prison ship London (from the BBC series "Blake's 7").
10/27 Had some troubles with the upload, but finally was able to post another dozen vintage Gallery entries today.
10/05 October's free, downloadable wallpaper is up.
There have been updates since mid-September, but I keep posting them on the Facebook, etc. and falling asleep before I get them here. So.... just FYI, I guess.
09/15 Posted a dozen vintage Gallery entries today.
09/09 Tyler Robbins has a look at Revell Snap-Max Poe Dameron's X-Wing kit in today's update.
09/08 Fifty years of Star Trek, 20 years of Starship Modeler .... coincidence? Well, yes. But build a model and celebrate anyway! Meanwhile, there's 15 new Gallery entries from the dawn of SSM back on the site - and some hobby news as well.
09/02 Added some Hobby News and there are some new products in the Store today.
09/01 September's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on my mobile dock USS Shickland, which was kitbashed from the PL 1/1000 TOS Enterrpise.
08/16 I resurrected 15 Gallery entries from the early days - they are back online for the first time in 15 years. Look for them under "New Last Week" -- because I don't yet have a "Blast From the Past" option. Also, there's some Hobby News posted.
08/11 There are a dozen new entries in the Reader's Gallery today.
08/03 Keeping with the Star Wars theme, August's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Thomas Peters' 1/72 Bandai Y-Wing.
07/28 It may look like not much is going on here, but attentive readers will note changes creeping throughout the site. We're coming up on our 20th anniversary, so I thought it might be a good idea to drag SSM fully into the latter part of the second decade of this millennium. There's only like 2000 or so pages to do - how hard can it be, right?
Meanwhile, the new products keep coming to the Store - along with a constant stream of restocks.
07/02 July's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Jason Eaton's scratchbuilt T-16 Skyhopper.
I know I updated the Gallery a couple of times during June, but it looks like I forgot to mention that.
It was with great sadness that I learned last week of Kip Hart's passing. Kip was an extraordinarily talented modeler with an outsize personality, and he'll be sorely missed. Here are a couple of the pieces he did for the site: Scratchbuilding a Shadow Battlecrab and Shadow Fighters.
Many thanks to Dec Sibley for his generous donation to the Starship Modeler Operating Fund.
Boxes have been piling up on the loading dock - there's a bunch of new stuff (and restocks) in the Store, too.
06/01 June's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Robb Merrill's 1/72 Y-Wing.
05/27 Jeff Semprebon shows us how he made his unique kit-bashed Iron Mule in tonight's update.
There's a bunch of new stuff (and restocks) in the Store, too.
05/26 Urg. Been a tough week - Windows insisted on "upgrading" to 10, and so I gave in and let it. And - surprise - it was pretty much painless - except I had my printer turned off when it upgraded so it took some time to convince the system that the LaserJet was my default printer, not the label maker.
Pretty much painless - except for my postage printing program. It's kind of mission-critical for that to print correctly, and it doesn't. Still working on that.
Meanwhile, I did manage a #tbt: from 1998, Mark Vezina's Takara's 1/48th VOTOMS Watchdog (Conversion).
05/13 This was supposed to go up yesterday as a #tbt --- but "the best laid plans of mice and men.... ", and all that. Anyway, I guess the dozen or so vintage Reager Gallery entries I just posted are now "Flashback Friday" entries.
It's been a busy wek in the Store - and it's not over yet, so stay tuned for more new stuff and restock announcements.
05/03 I've been working on this update for a week (You guys know how that goes - get started on something, mama want you to do this, kid needs help with the homework, cat pukes up all the houseplants she ate 5 minutes ago and you're the only one who can clean up the mess... the list goes on, doesn't it?) So it's more than one update, actually --- and that doesn't count all the updates I've been doing under the #TBT (See Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Tumblr - you get the drift).
Anywho - I did a review of Atlantis Model's Sighting Over Monument Valley UFO kit - mostly to do a youtube video review, but also - and I can't stress this enough - because it's a fun kit.
May's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Duncan Scott's 1/72 Gunstar built from the Black Sun kit.
I've got a huge pile of model kits clogging the entry way - Monday was a big day for restocks - so stay tuned for those going in the Store.
04/01 April's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Konrad Horsztynski's 1/72 T-65 X-Wing built from the Bandai kit.
03/30 Our scale modeling events calendar has been broken for a while - another victim of the last server move. I've finally gotten a chance to fix it - and started populating show dates again (starting with April 2016).
Blast From The Past: Way back in 1999, long before the there was a big, shiny, very accurate mass-production Space:1999 Eagle kit available, Jack Wendt super-detailed and accurized the old 1/72 MPC Eagle - and he did it on a budget.
03/24 Twelve "classic" entries have been posted to the Reader's Gallery this week. These are models from 1998 or so that I originally had to take down because we ran out of room on the server at the time. since that's no longer an issue, I'm bringing everything back (slowly, of course).
03/11 Twelve new entries added to the Reader's Gallery this week.
There have been some discussions online about how frequently the Reader's Gallery is updated. Here's the deal: with Facebook, tumblr, Instagram, etc. available, people just aren't sending as many entries in to Starship Modeler. Want to see more entries here? You gotta send them in!
03/02 March's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on Brad Guy's 1/32 scale old-school Cylon Raider built from the Moebius kit.
I'm told that Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller have sold out the entire print run of their Modelling the Eagle book. Another run is being done right now, but it will be two-three weeks before we have another batch of books.
02/05 Today I take a look at the debut resin model kit offering from Ugh! MOdels, a 1/350 Shi-Tzu class Light Attack Craft (LAC). There's a bunch of new stuff and restocks in the Store as well.
02/02 February's free, downloadable wallpaper is based on a scratchbuilt Endeavor from "Rendezvous with Rama" built by Jonathan Billington.
There's a bunch of new stuff (and restocks) in the Store, too.

Everton are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku on a five-year-deal despite reports this morning that the Blues were asking for £30m.
The 21-year-old Belgium international spent last season on loan at Goodison Park where he scored 15 goals as Roberto Martinez's side finished just outside of the Champions League places.
After training with former club Anderlecht this summer, fueling more speculation he was set to leave Jose Mourinho's men, the powerful forward then posted an image on social media this morning with the caption: "Time for a new chapter."
Lukaku is pictured on an aeroplane but his destination is unknown. Mourinho had expected him to join the Blues squad in the Netherlands but the former West Bromwich Albion loanee could now be headed for Merseyside.

Chelsea have already signed two strikers this summer, £30m Diego Costa and returning legend Didier Drogba, as the Belgian's hope of breaking into the starting line-up continues to fade.
During a recent tour of Thailand, Martinez was quoted as telling supporters that the Toffees 'would get him' but refused to discuss the topic during yesterday's press conference confirming Ross Barkley's new four-year contract.
Ian Atkins, Everton's head of recruitment, echoed his manager's sentiments on Saturday evening when he told talkSPORT: "Hopefully things can be sorted out, I think he's quite settled in his mind that he wants to come to Everton, and hopefully he'll be pulling on our blue shirt again next term."
Under current chairman Bill Kenwright, Everton have been notoriously stubborn to spend but look set to part with upwards of £23m to get their man.
