  • Patent number: 10169555
    Abstract: In particular embodiments, two or more users are provided with personalized experiences while using a shared mobile computing device. A login interface is presented for a plurality of users of the shared mobile computing device. When an indication of a login action by a first user of the plurality of users is detected, access to restricted information associated with any other user of the plurality of users is disabled. Cached information associated with the first user is retrieved from a local data store. A personalized user interface is then presented, based on the cached information. Updates to information and/or content may be cached and/or stored remotely. When an indication of a logout action by a first user of the plurality of users is detected, particular information and/or content is flushed from the local data store.

  • Patent number: 9611072
    Abstract: A modular interconnecting knockdown container system includes a plurality of individual containers selectively coupled together to form a free standing unit. Each container is a knockdown container formed from a single substrate assembled into the container having a plurality of side members and extending between opposed ends of the container. Each container includes a plurality of coupling tabs adjacent each container end on at least two of the sides, wherein each tab may selectively extend beyond the adjacent container end. Each container includes a plurality of coupling tab receiving slots adjacent each container end on at least two sides at each container end and aligned with the coupling tabs adjacent the container end, wherein each tab receiving slot may selectively receive a tab of an adjacent container. Adjacent containers have the coupling tabs adjacent one end received within the tab receiving slots of an adjacent end of an adjacent container.
