Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for controlling expiration of electronic mail (e-mail) single store attachments. A method to control expiration of e-mail single store attachments can include sending an e-mail message, the e-mail message including one or more attachments, creating a single store linked e-mail message by removing the one or more attachments from the sent e-mail message and replacing each of the one or more attachments with a corresponding single store attachment link. The method further can include storing the removed one or more attachments in an attachment server, where each of the one or more attachments has an expiration date, sending the single store linked e-mail message having the one or more store attachment links to one or more recipients and deleting an attachment stored on the attachment server based upon its respective expiration date having expired. When there is e-mail activity (e.g., forward, reply, etc.

Abstract: A packaging apparatus comprising a pulp-based composition that provides protection to an equipment component (or other fragile or breakable item), provides ease in use during pre-packing and packing of an equipment component for transport, does not require the need for additional packing components in combination with the packaging assembly, provides shock protection during transport, is reusable, and is economically suited for its end use, is provided for. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the present invention is a molded, one piece packing assembly comprised of substantially a pulp-based composition. The present invention is advantageously designed using specific geometries which, contrary to traditional designs, benefit from the stressing and flexing characteristics of paper fiber.

Abstract: The present invention is an information processing system. The information system comprises a housing, a card insulator, and a card insulator guide. The card insulator comprises a planar portion, a handle portion coupled to the planar portion, the handle portion including a securing element for securing the card insulator to the housing. The card insulator guide is coupled to the housing wherein the card insulator guide comprises at least one slot for receiving the card insulator and a retainer lid hingedly coupled to the at least one slot for securing the card insulator to the card insulator guide. Through the use of the system in accordance with the present invention, the card insulator is coupled to the information processing system in a more secure fashion thereby preventing the card insulator from popping out of position as a result a shock or vibration to the information processing system.

Abstract: A device for attaching at least two pieces of a material is disclosed. The device comprises a first portion, the first portion comprising an opening and a ledge therein and a latching mechanism hingedly coupled to the first portion wherein the latching mechanism is capable of being attachably coupled to the first portion via the ledge. Accordingly, the device in accordance with the present invention is easy to open and close, latches securely, and stays closed during package stress testing.

Abstract: A pallet is made of corrugated material having two horizontal, upper and lower deck members. The deck members are substantially parallel to one another. The deck members are separated along their length by a center support member, two vertical side support, stringer members, and at least three separate internal members, or runners, that support the entire length of the top horizontal member. Two of the runners form a center support, and two of the runners form diagonal supports. Each diagonal support member forms a leg of an isosceles triangle with each vertical side support stringer member forming the other leg. The diagonal support members give added strength to the pallet and assist in distributing the load placed upon the pallet.
