Publication number: 20120208378Abstract: A flexible magnetic interconnect is disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a module having a recess therein. A magnetic structure is moveable within the recess and a flexible circuit cooperates with the module to retain the magnetic structure within the recess. Movement of the magnetic structure is caused by magnetic attraction between the magnetic structure and an external magnetic structure. The flexible circuit includes a compliant contact, which changes shape by movement of the magnetic structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2012Publication date: August 16, 2012Inventors: Charles Albert Rudisill, Daniel John Whittle

Publication number: 20110094979Abstract: A product display system for disposable absorbent article containers is provided. The product display system includes a first stacked product array including a first set of individual disposable absorbent article containers and a second stacked product array including a second set of individual disposable absorbent article containers. Each individual disposable absorbent article container contains a first and second visible graphic such that when the individual containers are stacked appropriately the combination of visible graphics forms a continuous larger visible graphic. The set of stacked product arrays maintains the continuous larger visible graphic, even when some individual containers from the product display are removed or missing. A method for enhancing the visibility and recognition of a product display system is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2009Publication date: April 28, 2011Inventors: Jennifer Lynn Lowery, Kevin Michael Sams, Danielle Lee Abel, Shanyn Krista Brady, Alfredo de Jesús Hidalgo, Paul Patrick Landers, Brenda Marie Mahan, Douglas John Whittle

Patent number: 7660731Abstract: Apparatus and methods to manage demand, service level agreements, hardware and software assets, projects, labor, knowledge and provisioning resources in hosted applications. An asset manager coupled to host servers and a network, manages the host servers and software to determine the demand for new assets and allocate available assets to meet the demand; determine assets not in compliance with existing software licenses; determine and compare actual service level metrics with the target service level metrics; and determine availability of a patch or upgrade for selected software and instances of the selected software among the assets. The asset manager may be coupled to other managers, e.g., contract, product, work and/or accounting managers, to monitor service level metrics and/or costs.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2006Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Parmeet S.
