Abstract: Disclosed is a container having top, bottom, and side walls that comprises first and second substantially identical halves, each of which has a major surface that has a polygonal shape defined by at least six sides and at least one substantially vertical side wall, substantially orthogonal to the major surface, that forms a portion of the side walls of the container when the halves are assembled, an at least double wall construction, the two substantially identical halves matingly engage when the halves are assembled to form the container, and means integral to each half for securing the two halves together. In another aspect, the container of the invention comprises a major surface having a curved periphery and is otherwise as summarized above.

Abstract: A storage container for storing and shipping items is foldable between a flat unformed condition and a second folded formed condition. The container includes a base section, and first and second end sections hinged to respective first and second ends of the base section. First and second cover sections are hinged to respective second ends of the end sections. The container includes a structure to secure differently sized and shaped articles in the same location of the inner surface of the base section. The securing structure includes slots, retention columns, ridges, troughs having various walls forming a trough for securing these articles using a friction fit. The container also includes a device for indicating whether the container has been opened.

Abstract: Allowing an agent to customize their CTI terminal with respect to a variety of terminal attributes such as those associated with previous phone activity, configuration information such as color, and graphical statistical representation of ACD center information. The telecommunication agent is able to store information defining this customization and to retrieve it at another CTI terminal at a later point in time. The storage of the customization information is performed as a file on a file server common to all CTI terminals. The result is that no software must be custom written for the file server in order to allow the saving of customized information. In addition, the programs controlling the CTI terminals are independent of the communication protocol that is utilized between the CTI terminals and the file server. A second embodiment of the invention allows the administrator of a call center to specify that each group of agents will utilize the same customization information.

Abstract: A system and means for identifying references by a process or a subprogram of a process to deallocated memory in a dynamic memory allocation system. The system and method are effective in identifying such references even before they have manifested themselves, and also in identifying the perpetrators of such references. The system and method make use of that portion of the address space of the process which is not otherwise used. A dynamic memory allocation function responds to a requestor's request for memory allocation by mapping memory which the function is allocating to the requestor into otherwise-unused virtual address space, recording this mapping in the system's memory map, and returning the virtual address to the requestor for use in referencing the allocated memory. Hence, any attempted access by the requestor to the allocated memory uses the virtual address, and the virtual address must be translated through the process memory map before the access can be established.
