  • Patent number: 11896554
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.

  • Patent number: 7848315
    Abstract: When voice over Internet Protocol (IP) capabilities are added to a conventional network of voice switches, an IP network is normally used to replace individual trunks between voice switches and to replace telephone lines between telephones and their serving voice switches. As a result, calls across the upgraded network often pass across a series of IP hops. Accordingly, the problem of replacing a series of IP hops by a single hop, to avoid degradation of end-to-end voice quality due to repeated packetization/depacketization sequences and associated functions such as compression/decompression, is addressed.

  • Patent number: 6758379
    Abstract: A hanger having an integrally molded plastic hanger body of inverted U-shaped construction defines a pair of horizontally spaced walls adapted to cooperatively define a support for the suspending means of another hanger. Each of the walls defines a tab pivotally connected adjacent the wall bottom for movement between an initial spaced-apart orientation of the tabs and an engaged orientation of the tabs wherein said tabs engage one another to cooperatively define the support.

  • Patent number: 5283979
    Abstract: An improved locking feature for a watertight hatch incorporates a positive break-open feature to facilitate opening when the hatch is jammed with ice and/or debris. A plurality of radially extending/retracting locking bars cooperate with closing cams such that, when the bars are extended, the hatch is drawn into tight engagement with a sealing gasket. When the locking bars are fully retracted, in order to release the hatch for opening, at least selected ones of the locking bars cooperate with opening cam means whereby full retraction of the bars forcibly displaces the hatch in an opening direction with a high mechanical advantage, initially breaking the hatch free of any restricting ice formation or packed debris. Thereafter, the hatch may be readily opened by being manually lifted in a conventional manner. The arrangement makes it entirely feasible to configure the hatch cover to be flush with its surroundings, so as to be useable in sidewalks, for example, where there may be heavy pedestrian traffic.
