  • Publication number: 20240140664
    Abstract: A container having a base and a lid is provided. The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching assemblies. The latch assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. The lid may have a handle that has a stowed and a carry position, where the handle may be maintained in the stowed position until acted upon by a first force greater than a threshold force to move the handle from the stowed position to the carry position. Similarly, when in the carry position, the handle may be maintained in the carry position until acted upon by a second force greater than the threshold force to move the handle from the carry position to the stowed position.

  • Patent number: 7194372
    Abstract: A method and system for verifying an embedded module of a mobile vehicle. The method includes the steps of providing a validation test plan including a plurality of test keywords indexed to a requirement in a spread sheet format, receiving a validation test plan request including at least one requirement, determining the test keywords of the validation test plan based on the requirement according to a test keyword definition, and sending the test keywords from a call center to the embedded module based on correspondence between the requirement and test keywords. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed for verifying an embedded module of a mobile vehicle.
