Abstract: The embodiments of the invention are directed to a method and apparatus to generate pulsing lights where parameters such as frequency, degree of brightness, and the number of pulses vary depending on the duration of the brake pedal application, the time interval between consecutive brake applications, and the deceleration rate of the vehicle, as well as optionally its distance from other vehicles. The brake light control system incorporates a microprocessor having multiple inputs, including a brake pedal sensor, and its output connected via an amplifying circuit to the lights. Other inputs of the microprocessor include a deceleration sensor, a distance sensor, and an optional manual pushbutton or switch located within the driver's reach. The lights controlled by the system may include brake lights, emergency lights, or additional lights shaped into a warning triangle.

Abstract: A box for containing goods during storing, delivering, mailing, or shipping. The box has at least one closure panel secured to a body panel to selectively close an opening in the box. A locking tab on the box selectively engages a panel of the closed box, so that the box cannot be opened without separating the locking tab and thereby providing visible evidence of the opening. The locking tab includes an opening tab to separate at least part of the locking tab in a predetermined manner, by pulling the opening tab.

Abstract: A box for containing goods during storing, mailing, or shipping. The box has at least one end panel secured to a body panel by a locking tab extendable through a slit in a closure flap of an end panel, so that the end panel cannot be unsecured without providing visible evidence of tampering. The locking tab is foldable for insertion through the slit, after which a surface of the locking tab engages the underside of the flap to prevent withdrawing the locking tab through the slit. Flanges on the locking tab engage the locked box, further preventing withdrawal of the locking tab. The locking tab is joined to the remainder of the box by perforated lines of selective weakness, which tear to provide visible evidence of tampering with the locking tab.

Abstract: A box for containing goods during storing, delivering, mailing, or shipping. The box has at least one end panel secured to a body panel by a locking tab and slot assembly so that the end panel cannot be unsecured without providing visible evidence of tampering. The leading edge of the locking tab has at least a partially tapered profile when the tab is folded for insertion through the slot. The slot may be curved to provide additional abutment between the associated locking tab and slot assembly. The container may have decorative motifs printed on the exterior surface to resemble a gift-wrapped box or a box having a unique or characteristic graphic design.
