Abstract: An inland freight management module for managing inland moves of freight from a plurality of vendor supply locations to port includes a profile maintenance component, a load planning component, and a load routing and booking component. The profile maintenance component is adapted for maintaining an inland planning zone profile including information relating to a plurality of inland planning zones generated according to one or more customs districts. The load planning component is programmed for planning field consolidation of one or more container loads via a multi-stop route between the plurality of vendor supply locations, where the multi-stop route is generated within one of the plurality of inland planning zones.
Abstract: A slidable closure includes a first fastener tape and a second fastener tape and a stabilizing fin. A first row of fastener elements extends along a first fastener tape longitudinal edge. A retainer box is positioned near first fastener tape bottom edge and adjacent a bottom fastener element of the first row of fastener elements. A second row of fastener elements extends along a second fastener tape longitudinal edge and is configured to selectively interlock with the first row of fastener elements. An insertion pin is positioned near the second fastener tape bottom edge. The stabilizing fin is more rigid than the first fastener tape and is substantially planar. The stabilizing fin is coupled with the first fastener tape to extend upwardly from a first fastener tape bottom edge and defines a first edge closest to the first row of fastener elements.
Abstract: A display fixture includes a magnetic focal wall and an auxiliary support member. The magnetic focal wall includes a magnetic panel, which is substantially planar, and a perforated panel, which is substantially planar and defines a plurality of perforations. The magnetic panel defines a front surface. The perforated panel is coupled with the magnetic panel such that the perforated panel extends in a substantially parallel plane with and in front of the magnetic panel. The auxiliary support member is configured to support a product thereon away from the magnetic focal wall and includes a magnet on a rear side thereof sized to fit within any one of the plurality of perforations such that the magnet of the auxiliary member is magnetically coupled with the magnetic panel through one of the plurality of perforations and the auxiliary support member extends forwardly from the perforated panel supported by the magnetic focal wall.
Abstract: Wish list systems, user interfaces, and methods are disclosed. The electronic wish list system includes an application loadable onto a user device that includes a display, and when loaded onto the user device, permits a wish list creator to review and select one or more items for inclusion in an electronic wish list, communicate with a server to send to the server the electronic wish list, and to cause display of the electronic wish list on the display. The server is able to communicate with the user device and configured to receive the electronic wish list, identify product information about the one or more items, and send the electronic wish list with the product information to the application. The application permits the wish list creator to share the electronic wish list via an electronic message, and to notify a wish list owner that the electronic wish list was shared.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes generating a first list of products to recommend to a user. The following steps are then repeated: removing a first product from the first list and placing the first product in a second list wherein the order of the products in the second list determines the order that products appear on a user interface; and comparing each remaining product in the first list to the product placed on the second list and moving products that are similar to the product placed on the second list further down in the first list. A user interface is then generated from the second list to show suggested products to a user.

Abstract: An outerwear article comprises a sleeve and a hand covering. The sleeve defines and extends from a shoulder end and an open end. The sleeve includes a liner, an outer shell extending around the liner, and a pocket defined between the outer shell and the liner. The pocket has an opening on an inside of the sleeve and on a side of the pocket nearest the open end. The hand covering is sewn to the sleeve adjacent the opening via a seam line. The hand covering is rotatable about the seam line from a storage position within the pocket to a use position extending from the seam line out the open end of the sleeve to fit over a wearer's hand.
Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a plurality of attribute headings for a product and storing the product and the associated attribute headings as part of a negotiation. A request for products associated with the negotiation is received and in response, a user interface listing at least one of the attribute headings for the product and providing controls for entering an attribute value for the listed at least one attribute heading is generated and transmitted. An attribute value for the listed attribute heading is received as part of a bid during the negotiation and is stored. An indication that the negotiation is complete is received and in response, the attribute value for the listed attribute heading is locked.

Abstract: A shoe-fit testing device includes a pseudo skeletal structure and a pseudo soft tissue structure. The pseudo skeletal structure approximates the bone structure of a human foot and ankle, and the pseudo soft tissue structure encompasses the pseudo skeletal structure. The shoe-fit testing device is capable of transitioning between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. In the uncompressed state, the shoe-fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a first value. In the compressed state, the shoe fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a second value that is less than the first value. As such, the shoe-fit testing device approximates the flexibility and compressibility of the human foot without requiring a live model.
Abstract: In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving a new script document in a scripting language that has not yet been classified; identifying features of the new script document, wherein at least some of the features are script-language commands contained in the new script document; generating first feature-data for the new script document, the first feature-data comprising measures of frequency of occurrences of the features within the new script document; and assigning a classification to the new script document based on a comparison of the first feature-data with training data that comprises second feature-data for known-malicious script documents and third feature-data for known-benign script documents.
Abstract: In some implementations, a method performed by data processing apparatuses includes receiving order data that represents a plurality of ordered items for delivery to a location; selecting a first policy from a store of first policies; transforming at least a portion of the order data into a plurality of item units, based on rules associated with the selected first policy; selecting a second policy from a store of second policies; for each item unit, based on rules associated with the selected second policy, modifying the item unit to include annotated information that corresponds to operations to be performed on the item unit; and generating instructions for grouping the plurality of item units for delivery to the location, based on the annotated information for the item units.
