Abstract: A security package for use in retail establishments to lock in articles which are for sale in a clear plastic case which is larger than the article displayed for sale and which optionally has enclosed an electronic article surveillance tag to prevent shoplifting. The security package has a locking mechanism built into the case which can not be opened without a key. The locking mechanism comprises a pair of asymmetric tines which are on opposite sides of an asymmetric engagement member. To lock the security package the asymmetric engagement member spreads apart the asymmetric tines until the asymmetric engagement member gets passed the asymmetric tines. The asymmetric tines close behind the asymmetric engagement member and lock the asymmetric engagement member in place. The asymmetric tines must be separated by an asymmetric key to allow the asymmetric engagement member to pass by the asymmetric tines to unlock the security package.

Abstract: A package for storing and shipping memory disks is disclosed. The package includes a base and cover designed to enclose and seal a plurality of disks held in a cassette. The base and cover include reinforcing gussets and members for securely retaining the cassette and disks so that the disks do not tilt, rattle or otherwise move during transport.

Abstract: A wafer cassette for storing, transporting and processing a plurality of wafers has a versatile adapter for removably receiving and attaching a transponder device to any convenient, predetermined surface location on the wafer cassette. The apparatus including the versatile adapter allows the wafer cassette to be used with a wide variety of processing equipment and fixtures without modification or customization, in contrast to similar apparatus known in the art.

Abstract: A low profile carrier for holding a plurality of memory disks during processing of the disks is described. The carrier is capable of securely holding disks of different thicknesses and is designed so that the disks are not damaged during insertion or removal of the disks from the carrier.

Abstract: Storage box including a box, a box door, and two locking clips. The storage box is used with standard mechanical interface (SMIF) transfer equipment, and is sealable, dust proof, and stackable. The box door includes cross-bar locators for cross-bar wafer cassettes, and a notch for cover alignment with the SMIF box door. The box door will also accept other types of wafer processing cassettes. Each of the locking clips engage into a clip enclosure outboard of the box, and includes a locking slot for the locking clip, as well as a latch pin opening which provides for movement of the latch pin.
