Abstract: A storage container for storage of one or more items in a storage and retrieval system containing a track system including first and second sets of horizontal parallel tracks forming a grid pattern having a plurality of grid spaces and stacks of storage containers located beneath the track system, wherein each stack occupies a single grid space. The storage container includes a metallic container body including a base portion formed as a single unitary body and having a container bottom wall and upwardly standing base sidewall and end wall parts to define a tray, and a separate upper portion having upper sidewall and end wall parts upwardly extending from and connected to respective base sidewall and end wall parts to form a box-like structure with an open end for receiving items within the box-like structure.

Abstract: A method performed by a computing device of selecting one or more items from a list displayed on a touch screen of the computing device. The method includes receiving touch commands indicating swiping motions performed by a user on the touch screen. These touch commands result in tentative selection of a list entry, followed by selection of the list entry and possibly tentative selection of adjacent list entries. These may be followed by further touch commands indicating continuing swiping motion to further tentatively or non-tentatively select proximate items.

Abstract: A method performed by a computing device of presenting an application menu on a touchscreen includes (a) receiving a signal from the touchscreen indicating that a user has touched an MAE displayed on a screen of the application, (b) in response to receiving, displaying the menu on the touchscreen, (c) receiving a signal from the touchscreen indicating that the user is sliding a cursor across the touchscreen in a first direction and, in response, moving a display position of a slider element of the menu correspondingly on the touchscreen, (d) receiving a signal from the touchscreen indicating that the user has slid the cursor in a second direction substantially orthogonal to the first direction past a selection threshold and, in response, selecting a menu item corresponding to a current location of the cursor, and (e) in response to selecting the menu item, performing an action corresponding to the menu item.

Abstract: A plant stalk stomper assembly is operable to be mounted relative to a toolbar of a row crop header for advancement over the ground in a forward travel direction. The stomper assembly includes a frame and an elongated stomper skid plate operable to engage the ground as the stomper assembly is advanced in the forward travel direction. The skid plate presents an attachment section along which the skid plate is mounted relative to the frame. At least part of the skid plate includes a unitary plate element that depends below the attachment section to present a lowermost ground-engaging margin. The unitary plate element includes a deformation region located between the attachment section and the ground-engaging margin, with the unitary plate element operable to bend along the deformation region in response to relative movement between the attachment section and the ground-engaging margin.

Abstract: A railing kit for a utility cart including two side panels, a front panel, and a rear panel, each panel has a top rail and an identical bottom rail. A first, second, third and fourth notch are disposed on each of a respective panel. Each of the first notches engages a respective one of the fourth notches, and each of the second notches engages a respective one of the third notches. At least one pair of beams are disposed on the top and bottom rails in a position perpendicular thereto. A connecting member is disposed on the lower end of each beam, each connecting member is configured to securingly engage and alternately disengage a utility cart slot. A fifth notch is centrally disposed on the upper end of each beam. The railing kit for a utility cart includes additional accessories configured to engage at least one of the fifth notches.

Abstract: An automated method for remotely changing the mobile number (MDN or MIN) of a wireless communications device, such as a vehicle communications device capable of making hands-free calls. Generally, some wireless carriers do not allow multiple mobile numbers to be simultaneously activated to a single wireless communications device. Therefore, when a mobile number change request is made, the automated method determines what type of process is most appropriate for that change: an indirect change process that uses at least three mobile numbers (current, intermediate, and target numbers) and addresses the above-mentioned wireless carrier limitations, or a direct change process that uses only two mobile numbers (current and target numbers). In either case, a wireless data link is established between a call center and the vehicle communications device so that the remote number change can be performed.

Abstract: A base oil having an unexpectedly low dynamic viscosity as measured by ASTM D5133 test method comprises a blend of about 65 to 97.5 wt % of a paraffinic oil having a VI of 130 or greater, a Kv@100° C. of about 3.8 cSt or greater and a pour point of ?15° C. or less and an ester of lubricating viscosity of from about 35 to about 2.5 wt %. The base oil is further characterized as free of added viscosity modifiers.

Abstract: A rotary safety switch assembly is disclosed in which electrical contacts are movable from a power supply OFF position to a power supply ON position by movement of a rotary member contained within a housing, the electrical contacts comprising first stationary contacts and second movable contacts, and in which the first stationary contacts are carried by a housing part and the second movable contacts are carried by the rotary member and are movable therewith in an arc about said predetermined axis to make and break contact with the first stationary contacts in response to movement of the rotary member by the actuator.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for assigning a mobile dialing number (MDN) to a wireless mobile communication device (MCD), for providing local call access to the MCD from a base address for the MCD, by first selecting a wireless rate center encompassing the base address and having an MDN providing local call access to the MCD from the base address for the MCD, and then assigning the MDN to the MCD, for providing local calling access to the MCD from the base address for the MCD. A database defines geographic boundaries of a plurality of wireless rate centers, including the wireless rate center encompassing the base address and having the MDN providing local call access to the MCD from the base address.

Abstract: A caster arrangement for cabinets used on access or raised floors of a computer room or the like. The caster arrangement allows for a small, heavy cabinet to be situated on the panels of the access floor without applying concentrated or ultimate loads on the panels that may exceed the design characteristics of the panel and access floor. The caster arrangement allows for at most three casters to apply load to a given panel while the cabinet is being moved or has an arbitrary orientation.

Abstract: A recessed hinge is disclosed that allows a door to open to an angle greater than 90 degrees. The hinge has a hinge pin with two free ends so that the hinge is also fully reversible, for use either on the right hand or left of an enclosure. The hinge also provides for simplified horizontal adjustment by having oval mounting holes for attaching the hinge to the enclosure, and the hinge provides for vertical adjustment by disposing one or more washers on the free end of the hinge pin. Vertical adjustment of the door as well as door removal may be accomplished without tools.

Abstract: A system of ancillary cabinet for use with an uninterruptible power source (UPS) is disclosed. The ancillary cabinets have modular and reversible features that facilitate the installation of an uninterruptible power supply. The frames for the ancillary cabinets use a galvanized riveted frame design. The frames use pop rivets to allow the units to be shipped flat and assembled easily in the field. The overall size of the ancillary cabinets are consistent with the dimensions of a UPS cabinet. Specifically, the depth and height of the ancillary cabinets match the UPS. Also, the overall cabinet design matches the style, color, and texture of the UPS cabinet. The ancillary cabinets may be bolted to each other and/or the UPS cabinet to form a specific UPS system. The cabinets are serviceable by front access. An inter-cabinet wiring trough (wiring access) in the ancillary cabinets matches up with the UPS.
