The license update engine then generates proposals for operators to consider. Accepted proposals update the license configuration. Thus, the license update engine identifies licenses and the definitions that are connected to them, including definitions that the licenses from which the were created and definitions that are linked to SKUs of entitlement purchases. Analyses relates three categories of proposal, including license types, applications linked to licenses, and usage rights on licenses.

  • Publication number: 20120261429
    Abstract: A medical bag is described that has a carrying configuration and a dispensing configuration and comprises a handle for carrying the bag and a space within the bag for accommodating a tapered storage drawer, the space tapering from a wide end to a narrow end and the drawer being of a corresponding shape to the space. When the bag is carried by the handle in the carrying configuration, the bottom surface of the space slopes down towards the narrow end so that gravity acts to force the drawer towards the narrow end of the space; however, because of its size, the drawer cannot pass through the narrow end of the space, thereby retaining the tapered storage drawer within the space.
