Abstract: A system for authenticating a serialized commodity is presented. A fixed identification, serial number, and authentication code are received for a serialized commodity to be checked for authenticity. A reference table is searched for an entry that matches the received fixed identification. In response to finding an entry in the reference table that matches the received fixed identification, a fixed identification key is retrieved from the reference table that is associated with the received fixed identification. A recreated authentication code is generated for the serialized commodity using the retrieved fixed identification key, the received fixed identification, and the received serial number. Then, it is determined whether the recreated authentication code matches the received authentication code. In response to determining that the recreated authentication code does match the received authentication code, an authentication code match message is outputted to authenticate the serialized commodity.

Abstract: A system are blocks and filters e-mails at the enterprise level. Incoming e-mails having an incoming domain are received at an e-mail server. Incoming domains are compared to a list of blocked domains. in response to identifying the incoming domain within the list of blocked domains, the incoming e-mail is blocked from delivery to an intended recipient. Incoming domains are then compared to a first predefined category. If the incoming domain is identified within the first predefined category, the intended recipient is compared to the first distribution list. If the intended recipient is identified within the first distribution list, then the incoming e-mail is delivered to the intended recipient.

Abstract: A flexible system is provided for preventing freight damage during shipment. The system has adjustable and interlocking hinged panels that are attached to the side walls of a shipping enclosure, so that the system can be readily adapted to secure different types and sizes of loads. One embodiment of the invention, provided for use with a freight carrying enclosure that has an internal wall, includes first and second panel segments that each have an edge. A first mounting structure supports the first panel segment for rotation about a vertical axis, between a first position wherein the first panel segment is in perpendicular relationship with the wall, and a second position wherein the first panel segment is in abutting relationship with the wall. A second mounting structure joins the first and second panel segments together along their respective edges, and enables rotation of the second panel between vertical and horizontal orientations.

Abstract: A product package clip has tamper evident protection which is formed integrally with the clip. Breakage of a frangible occluding portion indicates that the integrity of the package has been jeopardized.

Abstract: An apparatus and a computer implemented method for monitoring and recording the orientation data for an object. The orientation apparatus comprises an outer casing. Inside the outer casing is an orientation device that comprises six chambers, with a ball sensor in each chamber, and a ball. The orientation apparatus also comprises a data recorder for recording an event history of the orientation device, and a communicator for conveying the event history.

Abstract: A product package clip has tamper evident protection which is formed integrally with the clip. Breakage of frangible connectors indicates that the clip, and thus the package, has been the target of tampering.

Abstract: One or more illustrative embodiments provide a method, system, and a computer program product for configuring groups in an electronic calendaring system. In one illustrative embodiment, a group in a distribution group is created, wherein the group comprises a number of members and the distribution group is stored in a memory. A number of notification options are set for the group in the distribution group. A number of groups from the distribution group are added to an invitee list for a calendar event, wherein each group in the number of groups is user-selected. A calendar event is sent to the number of groups. A set of conditions corresponding to the number of notification options is monitored. In response to a condition, from the set of conditions, occurring, sending a notification.

Abstract: The aspects of the present invention provide for an apparatus for conveying air into foam so that the flow of air within the foam may be monitored to determine one or more characteristics of the foam. The apparatus includes a nozzle and a member having a substantially planar surface. The nozzle includes a tube sized and dimensioned to be inserted easily into the foam. The tube has a wall and an aperture formed in the wall. The aperture is sized and dimensioned to allow air to flow through the aperture and into the foam, and the aperture extends partially about the circumference of the tube. The member is mounted to the nozzle and is also connected to an air flow meter.
