Abstract: An improved floral display box to house flowers. The floral display box includes a vase for arranging a plurality of flowers having an open top, a closed bottom, and one or more side walls. The vase is adapted to house the flowers and accompanying water and nutrients. Further, a lid is removably disposed over the open top of the vase. The lid has a plurality of openings disposed therethrough to hold the flower in place within the vase, the plurality of holes having a diameter of about 0.1 and 1 cm and being disposed at an angle of about 20 degrees to about 45 degrees with respect to a centerline from a centrally place opening in the lid to the bottom surface of the vase to a centerline through outermost holes in the lid to the bottom surface of the vase.

Abstract: Techniques for suggesting suitable brake-pad and other automotive-part configurations, based on information including vehicle and/or driver characteristics. In some embodiments, the information can be received by a processor or computing device, such as an in-store kiosk, smartphone, or personal computer. The information can be obtained by prompting a consumer or electronically recovering information from a database or the vehicle itself. Responses to the prompts may be pre-populated based on known car configurations and estimated use profiles. A predetermined number of limited configurations may be suggested to ease consumer choice. One a selection is made, a scannable or machine-readable code may be generated to allow a user to recall their selection at another computing device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for the automatic transfer of data across a communications network. The data is divided into batches prior to transfer and a record of the batches is maintained, so that in the event of a communications failure or a disconnection the transmission of data can be resumed from the point where it left off. By maintaining a record of the batches it is not necessary to re-transmit the entire file when the transfer is disrupted. There is also provided a system for transmitting large attachments (102) to emails (101) wherein the attachment (102) is sent to an intermediate server (108) and a token (109) is generated which is sent both to the intermediate server (108) and to the end receiver (107), which allows the attachment (102) to be downloaded from the intermediate server (108) to the end receiver (107) at a later time.

Abstract: The invention relates to secure delivery of data over communications networks, and in particular to the secure delivery of large datasets.
