  • Publication number: 20180343995
    Abstract: A storage device including a storage device body configured to store items therein, and a pocket. The pocket includes a piece of pocket material coupled to the body and at least partially defining a pocket cavity. The pocket further includes a first fastener configured to releasably attach the piece of pocket material to the body, and a second fastener configured to releasably attach the piece of pocket material to the body. The first fastener, when uncoupled, allows access to the pocket cavity via a first direction, and the second fastener, when uncoupled, allows access to the pocket cavity via a second direction that is different from the first direction.

  • Patent number: 10130395
    Abstract: A modular uniplanar pedicle screw assembly for use with a polyaxial bone fastener. The modular assembly comprises a uniplanar tulip assembly adapted to be coupled to a head of the polyaxial bone fastener, wherein the uniplanar tulip assembly includes a longitudinal slot. The modular assembly further includes an adapter having a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is sized and shaped to be received in a recess of the bone fastener head. The upper portion extends from the lower portion and is adapted to slide along the longitudinal slot of the uniplanar tulip assembly to allow movement of the uniplanar tulip assembly in a first plane along a direction that is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the longitudinal slot, the longitudinal slot preventing movement of the uniplanar tulip assembly in a second plane lateral to the first plane relative to the bone fastener.

  • Publication number: 20180227774
    Abstract: Traditional configuration of infrastructure equipment relates to the adjustment of horizontal tilt for antennas. Given the potential overlap of infrastructure equipment, varying tilt angles can result in either interference with nearby equipment (“over-tilt”) or reduced coverage areas within a specific infrastructure equipment (“under-tilt”). A tool for determining appropriate tilt angles for infrastructure antennas across a mobile network is provided. The tool automatically determines a range of tilt angles between a selected source antenna and adjacent antennas and optimizes based on a threshold intersecting point. Additionally, the tool can update calculated tilt angles based on network congestion information.

  • Patent number: 9986443
    Abstract: Traditional configuration of infrastructure equipment relates to the adjustment of horizontal tilt for antennas. Given the potential overlap of infrastructure equipment, varying tilt angles can result in either interference with nearby equipment (“over-tilt”) or reduced coverage areas within a specific infrastructure equipment (“under-tilt”). A tool for determining appropriate tilt angles for infrastructure antennas across a mobile network is provided. The tool utilizes network-based planning modules to determine appropriate horizontal tilt angle for a set of infrastructure equipment. The tool automatically determines a range of tilt angles between a selected source antenna and adjacent antennas and optimizes based on a threshold intersecting point.

  • Patent number: 9954729
    Abstract: Traditional configuration of infrastructure equipment relates to the manual generation of properties and corresponding scripts that was time consuming and had potential errors. A tool for provisioning and configuring network infrastructure equipment is provided. The tool utilizes pre-configured templates to collect information utilized in the configuration of the infrastructure equipment and automatically generate configuration scripts. The tool dramatically increases the ability to configure or re-configure infrastructure equipment.

  • Publication number: 20170112275
    Abstract: An office desktop organizer system including a rigid, tubular section with a triangular cross-section joinable with more sections in series via a connector joint in between sections and end caps covering the opposite ends of the tubular sections. The connector joints may be straight or have a bend. Add on office implements, such as a storage shelf, a drawer, a pencil box, a tape dispenser, a bin, a phone dock, a note pad stand, a USB port, or an AC outlet power center, each having an overarching arm, are connectable to the tubular section by engaging the overarching arm thereto. Eyelets in the end caps and connector joints allow the tubular section to be mounted to a wall using a screw, push pins, tape, etc. where the screw or pin head fits into the eyelet.

  • Publication number: 20160167687
    Abstract: A collapsible wagon includes a base and one or more upstanding walls forming a container for cargo. At least one of the upstanding walls is pivotally mounted to the base for pivoting between an unfolded position for use and a folded position for storage and transport. In some embodiments, the wagon includes a pinchless internal mechanical stop that eliminates pinch points where a user's fingers can be pinched during folding and unfolding of the walls. In some embodiments, the wagon includes a gang-operated latch system for releasably securing one of the walls to another one of the walls that is quick, easy, and reliable to use for folding and unfolding. And in some embodiments, the wagon includes a latch system that eliminates slack or play when in the unfolded use position for structural integrity.
