    Patent number: 7721259
    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating and executing customized variants of a software application are provided. The customized variants include customization of user interfaces, data processing logic, and data models. Customization is accomplished by overlaying custom metadata on base metadata. The base metadata characterizes the software application and the custom metadata characterizes variants of the software application. The custom metadata and base metadata have an object-oriented relationship. Related variants are optionally applied as a set to assure compatibility between variants of the same software application.

  • Integrated cable seal lock arrangement
    Publication number: 20070040393
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to cable seal locks with a body assembly integrated with structures defining storage or transportation chambers or compartments or the closure member components therefor. A cable seal lock body assembly is integrated with a component defining a receptacle or a separate mounting housing. The housing, in one form includes a slot to receive a mounting strap. In other forms, the housing includes a mounting base and a separate top portion that receives the lock body assembly. The top portion and base are assembled after attachment of the base to a component of a storage compartment or closure member. The lock body housing prevents removal of the top portion from the base and the base from the component.

  • Integrated security mechanism
    Publication number: 20050127690
    Abstract: The present disclosure shows a security lock arrangement for a covered access opening. It shows a cable seal lock body housed in the cavity of a housing that is welded to a structure defining a covered access. The cable of the cable seal lock passes through a latch for the access opening cover and through the lock body from which it cannot be removed without destruction of the cable. A new cable is usable with the lock body permanently mounted to the covered access opening structure.
