| 20080265115 | Tamper Evident Feature for Package Fastening Clips - A product package clip has tamper evident protection which is formed integrally with the clip. Breakage of frangible connectors indicates that the clip, and thus the package, has been the target of tampering. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090026211 | Rotatable Partition System for a Freight Carrying Enclosure - A flexible system is provided for preventing freight damage during shipment. The system has adjustable and interlocking hinged panels that are attached to the side walls of a shipping enclosure, so that the system can be readily adapted to secure different types and sizes of loads. One embodiment of the invention, provided for use with a freight carrying enclosure that has an internal wall, includes first and second panel segments that each have an edge. A first mounting structure supports the first panel segment for rotation about a vertical axis, between a first position wherein the first panel segment is in perpendicular relationship with the wall, and a second position wherein the first panel segment is in abutting relationship with the wall. A second mounting structure joins the first and second panel segments together along their respective edges, and enables rotation of the second panel between vertical and horizontal orientations. A support structure selectively maintains the second panel segment in its horizontal orientation. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090030989 | ENTERPRISE E-MAIL BLOCKING AND FILTERING SYSTEM BASED ON USER INPUT - Incoming e-mails having an incoming domain are received at an e-mail server. Incoming domains are compared to a list of blocked domains to determine whether the incoming e-mail is to be delivered. Incoming domain are further compared to at least one predefined category having a distribution list. If the intended recipient is not a member of the distribution list, the incoming e-mail is not delivered. Domains within the blocked domain list and the predefined categories are user suggested domains from previously received e-mails. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090064831 | Precision Corner Post Cutter - An apparatus and method are disclosed for cutting a corner post. The apparatus includes a blade disposed within the apparatus. A piston is coupled to the blade for actuating the blade. A trigger switch is coupled to the piston. The piston causes the blade to actuate when the trigger is depressed.
