Abstract: According to various embodiments, a flow validation system models distribution flows of a consignor's packages from each of one or more hubs within a carrier's shipping network. The flow validation system allows the carrier and/or the consignor to identify at least one optimal hub within the carrier's shipping network to which packages destined for a particular geographical area (e.g., three-digit ZIP code) should be shipped from their origin and from which the packages should be distributed through the carrier's general shipping network to their respective destinations. According to various embodiments, the optimal hub (or hubs) for packages destined for a particular geographical area may be identified based on the number of days expected to transport the packages from the origin to the particular geographical area via the optimal hub (least “time-in-transit”) and/or the distance (or range of distances) between the optimal hub and the particular geographical area.

Abstract: A webcam assembly includes a webcam head and a support. The support has an arm, a base, and a tail. The arm and tail are pivotably connected to a rear end of the base. The webcam head is connected to the base and the tail through the arm. The support has a clamp form in which the tail has a pivot position away from the base and the arm has a pivot position adjacent to said base. The support also has a stand form in which the tail has a pivot position adjacent to the base and the arm has a pivot position away from the base.

Abstract: A communications cable management system includes a support structure and a door assembly. The door assembly includes at least two first latch structures and at least two second latch structures each selectively positionable in a latched position to secure the door body to the support structure. First and second actuators are operable by a user to selectively latch the latch structures such that a door body is secured in a closed position on the support structure, the door body can be removed from the support structure, the door body can be pivoted open about the first pivot axis, or the door body can be pivoted open about a second pivot axis.

Abstract: A communications panel assembly for use with a mounting surface to manage communications cables and/or connections includes a back panel and a level orientation indicator device. The back panel is configured to be mounted on the mount surface. The level orientation indicator device is integrally mounted on the back panel to indicate an orientation of the back panel. According to some embodiments, the level orientation indicator includes a bubble level device.

Abstract: A communications cable management system includes a support structure and a door assembly. The support structure defines a cable trough and includes at least two first mount structures and at least two second mount structures spaced apart from the at least two first mount structures. The door assembly includes a door body, first and second latch mechanisms, and first and second actuators. The door body has first and second opposed side edges. The first latch mechanism includes at least two first latch structures each selectively positionable between a latched position, wherein the first latch structure engages a respective one of the first mount structures to secure the door body to the support structure for pivotal movement therebetween about a first pivot axis proximate the first side edge of the door body, and an unlatched position, wherein the first latch structure is disengaged from the first mount structure to permit the first side edge of the door to be separated from the support structure.
