20090070943Releasable paint roller cover retainer - A paint roller including a roller cover retainer that is releasable to permit a roller cover to be easily removed. The device includes a locking lever pivotable relative to the frame which actuates retainers located within the roller assembly. The locking lever also exerts an axial force adapted to disengage the roller cover from the roller assembly when the retainer is disengaged. A used roller cover can be removed without the need to grasp the used roller cover. Installation of a roller cover onto the roller assembly automatically engages the retainers and shifts the locking lever into the locked position.03-19-2009

20100072093PACKAGE FOR A SAW BLADE - A package for a saw blade comprises a housing defining a space for receiving a saw blade. A first cover is attached to the housing at a hinge, and is pivoted at the hinge so as to overlay the saw blade and retain the saw blade in the housing. The cover is dimensioned to extend over less than the entire saw blade. A compartment may be attached to the housing where a security device is located in the compartment. A second cover seals the security element in the compartment. A second cover may be attached to the housing at a second hinge, and pivoted at the second hinge so as to overlay the saw blade and retain the saw blade in the housing. The second cover is dimensioned so as to extend over less than the entire saw blade.03-25-2010

20090037466METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RESOLVING FEATURE DEPENDENCIES OF AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT WITH EXTENSIBLE PLUG-IN FEATURES - A method, system and computer-readable medium for an enhanced dependency resolver are disclosed. The dependency resolver collects dependency information for features of a rich client platform from a plurality of update sites; stores the dependency information for the features in a database; constructs a plurality of dependency trees using the dependency information of the database, wherein each of the plurality of dependency trees is rooted by a node representing an installable feature; selects an installable feature; identifies all nodes of a dependency tree rooted by the installable feature; determines which of the nodes require an adjacent node. If the node requires an adjacent node, the dependency resolver climbs the include tree of the adjacent node until a node of a second installable feature is found and records in the database that the second installable feature is required for the installation of the other installable feature.02-05-2009
20110138234AUTOMATED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ERROR AND SERVICE REQUEST CORRELATION - An implementation verification policy for each of a set of change management tasks associated with one of a set of service requests within an information technology (IT) environment is created via a configuration management device. Each of the set of change management tasks is automatically implemented. An error associated with the automated implementation of one of the set of change management tasks is detected based on the implementation verification policy created for one of the set of change management tasks. The error is automatically correlated with a service request that caused the error.06-09-2011

20090233478Tamper evident connector system - An electrical assembly is disclosed that provides evidence of tampering. The assembly includes a plug housing with a seal cover attached thereto, the seal cover including latching arms. A wire dress cover is attached over the seal cover, and a locking element is placed through the wire dress cover and is rotatably latched in place to the latching arms. The locking element overlies a jack screw, which prevents the disconnection of the plug housing or removal of a wire cover without first removing the locking element.09-17-2009
