Abstract: A reel based closure device for tensioning a tension member is described herein. The reel based closure device includes a housing that defines a vertical axis, a plurality of teeth operably coupled with the housing, a spool rotatably positioned within the housing, and an engagement member comprising one or more teeth that engage with the plurality of teeth during a rotation of the spool. A dial or knob is operably coupled with the spool so that a rotation of the dial or knob effects the rotation of the spool to wind the tension member about the spool. A length of each tooth that is operably coupled with the housing is substantially longer than a length of each tooth of the engagement member.

Abstract: A message, including for example an image, video, audio, text, and/or haptics, e.g., a digital photograph, is received by a communication device (101) via a receiver (109) operably connected to a communication network (117), and determined by a processor (107) of the communication device (101) to be targeted to a display, such as a secondary display (103) of the communication device. The processor (107) can authenticate the message or messages. Where the message is authenticated, the processor (107) can automatically display the one or more messages, responsive to receipt thereof, on the secondary display (103). Accordingly, a user can glance at the secondary display (103) of the communication device (101) and view messages, e.g., images, video, audio, text, and/or haptics which have been shared by one or more senders.

Abstract: A wireless communication device (104) for providing channel information is described. The device comprises a housing having a first display (1008) and a second display (1006), a memory (206) and a processor (204). The housing has a first position (1002) exposing the first and second displays and a second position (1004) covering the first display and exposing the second display. The memory (206) stores a plurality of applications and/or media content that may be shown by the second display (1006). The processor (204) changes operation of the second display (1006) from one application to another and/or the media content shown by the second display from one media content to another. Also, applications and/or content of the second display (1006) may be managed by a control panel application of the first display (1008).

Abstract: A business process utilizes computer software and electronic customer/supplier connections to supply information, receive requests for quotation, supply quotations, receive purchase orders, and perform commercial and technical functions associated with delivery of such purchase orders or quotations with respect to environment and use specific products. Such products require customer or plant application unique technical evaluation and/or commercial processing to ensure applicability to a specific customer application. The system provides a vehicle to search for parts requiring such technical review encompassing anticipated product use.
