Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for transmitting notifications to customers. One example method may include identifying a notification event associated with a customer via a customer management module and retrieving a customer preference record. The method may also include determining a notification device preference for a customer Internet protocol (IP) device included in the customer preference record and determining a current presence status of the customer Internet protocol (IP) device. The method may also include transmitting the notification event to the customer's IP device based on the notification device preference.

Abstract: A cargo protection device and method for use on a ratchet tie-down or other cargo securing device. The cargo protection device comprises a tubular sleeve through which a ratchet tie-down can thread through. The sleeve comprises an opening in its side wall through which the ratchet handle can exit the sleeve and be accessed and actuated by a user. In use, the sleeve protects the cargo from abrasion while the cargo is being secured or transported.

Abstract: An embodiment of a mounting kit has first and second rails connectable to a frame and first and second spacers respectively connectable to the first and second rails. The first and second spacers are configured to engage an object therebetween when the first and second rails are connected to the frame. The first and second rails each comprise a portion configured to extend under the object when the object is between the first and second spacers. A distance from the first spacer to an end of the first rail and a distance from the second spacer to an end of the second rail are based on a length of the object.

Abstract: A latch for holding a rack mounted device into a rack is disclosed. The latch is formed from an essentially flat plate. The latch has an attachment section used to attach the latch to the rack mounted device. A serpentine section is formed adjacent to the attachment section. A beam section extends at an angle from the serpentine section. A head is attached to the end of the beam. The head has a catch that extends from the edge of the beam by a distance X, where X is in the plane of the flat plate. The serpentine section allows the head to be deflected by distance X where the deflection is in the plane of the flat plate.
