Abstract: An assembly for a steering column assembly including an engagement plate and a telescope plate at least partially disposed within the engagement plate. The engagement plate may be adapted to be located between a column tube of a steering column assembly and the telescope plate. The engagement plate and the telescope plate have one or more features for engaging with or contacting each other to provide energy absorption during an impact exceeding a threshold load. These features may include one or more projections or protrusions, one or more slots, one or more ribs, or a combination.

Abstract: A closure with a flexible diaphragm that equalizes the internal pressure of a container to the external pressure. The closure may include an inner member having a generally cylindrical wall. The cylindrical wall may include internal threads capable of engaging with external threads of the container. The closure may also include an outer member including a generally circular cap body and an annular ring extending downward from the edges of the cap body. The annular ring shrouds at least a portion of the cylindrical wall. A flexible diaphragm may be operatively attached to the top of the cylindrical wall and spaced apart from the cap body. The flexible diaphragm deflects in response to the internal pressure of the container.

Abstract: A plug-type closure for use with internally threaded containers. The container includes a container body and a neck defining an internal thread. The closure includes a cap body having an annular wall extending outwardly from the cap body, configured to shroud the neck of the container. The closure further includes a generally cylindrical plug body operatively attached to and extending outwardly from the cap body. The plug body includes a thread that engages with the corresponding internal thread of the container neck to provide a leak-resistant seal.

Abstract: Disclosed is an arrangement for secure and controlled electronic distribution of documents from a server (102) to clients (101) across an electronic network (100), e.g., the Internet. A client requests (200) authentication from the server. The server validates (202) the request and sends (206) a validation and encryption data (129) to the client to establish a secure communications connection with the client. The client returns (210) a request for a document accompanied by the client ID (131) to the server. The server validates (212) the request and uses the client ID to set (216) permissions of the client for the document. The server then uses the encryption data to encrypt (220) the document and its permissions, and sends (224) the encrypted information to the client. The client acknowledges (230) receipt of the document, decrypts (228) it by using the encryption data, and enforces (232) the permissions on the document.
