  • Patent number: 12221147
    Abstract: In one example, a pallet jack cap system includes a stabilization outrigger secured around steer wheels of a pallet jack, a bonnet in an elevated position over forks of the pallet jack, an anchor base for attachment to the pallet jack, and a vertical extension system between the anchor base and the bonnet. The vertical extension system supports the bonnet in the elevated position over the forks of the pallet jack. The vertical extension system can include an elevating vertical support assembly, an elastic counterpoise to assist with positioning the bonnet at a particular elevation based on an extension of the vertical support assembly, and an extension lock to secure the vertical support assembly at the particular elevation. The bonnet can be lowered down over a unit load on a pallet transported by the pallet jack, to secure the unit load and items in transport by the pallet jack.

  • Patent number: 7082455
    Abstract: A content management system is provided including a server computer and a client computer. The server includes a data repository and a stored procedure. The disclosed methodology provides a way of handling parameter passing of structured data for stored procedures in the system. The system is capable of both encoding data into a structured data format and decoding data from the structured data format. The structured data format employs a binary large object (BLOB) and character large object (CLOB) to achieve handling of fixed length binary data and variable length character data. Advantageously, the stored procedure interface need not be rewritten and customized for each stored procedure in the server.
