Publication number: 20070080821Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for identifying product tampering. A mechanical fastening screw, a sleeve and a movable follower disk are arranged to show evidence of tampering. The movable follower disk is received within a cavity defined by the sleeve. The sleeve includes a channel and a final resting slot defined within a sleeve wall. The movable follower disk includes compressible spring followers slideably received within the channel when the mechanical fastening screw is inserted. If the screw is removed, the compressible spring followers engage the final resting slot to indicate tampering. Electrical detection of the compressible spring followers engaging the final resting slot is used to identify tampering.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2005Publication date: April 12, 2007Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Philip Germann, Mark Jeanson

Publication number: 20050023311Abstract: A shoulder strap for carrying a notebook computer is formed as an elongated member with a locking mechanism at a first end which attaches to the lock slot of the computer and a loop at the opposite end. By passing the strap through the loop, the opposite end portion of the strap is positioned around the computer adjacent the side opposite the side which includes the lock slot. With the first end of the strap secured to the computer by securing the locking mechanism at the computer lock slot, the intermediate portion of the strap extends over the users shoulder to enable transport of the computer. By forming the strap using a plastic coated steel cable, the shoulder strap may be used for both carrying the computer and as a security cable for securing the computer when unattended. The shoulder strap surfaces that engage the user's shoulder and surround and engage the notebook computer are formed of non-adhesive, non-slip material.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2003Publication date: February 3, 2005Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jonathan Allen, Mark Jeanson
