Abstract: A tool for connecting items to and from a split ring key holder. The tool includes a blade having a distal end opposite a proximal end with an intermediate portion therebetween. The distal end has a generally wedge shape with a narrow distal tip. The intermediate portion has first and second scalloped edges on opposite sides of the intermediate portion. The first and second scalloped edges define respective sequences of peaks and valleys opposed to one another. The narrow distal tip of the distal end of the blade and the first and second scalloped edges of the intermediate portion of the blade are adapted to separate and spread apart the split ring key holder. In the preferred embodiment, the blade is retractable and housed within a housing that provides for translation of the blade along a predetermined translation axis.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a housing having a first end with a first edge and a second end. A handle adapted to receive a hand is formed in the housing. The housing encloses a first blade which has a cutting position when the first blade extends from the housing and a retracted position with the blade inside the housing. An elongated finger portion is extended from the first end of the housing. The finger portion and the first edge define an elongated opening having a junction at the first end of the housing. A second blade is embedded in the housing at the preferred angle of 19.5 percent and diagonally spans the opening and the junction. The second is shaped, sized and orientated to facilitate forward slitting of heavy plastic sheet. The first blade slides axially along an interior track. A biasing means repositions the first blade from the retracted position to the cutting position. The first blade makes a slit in the packaging.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a housing having a first end with a first edge and a second end. A handle extends from the second end of the housing. The housing has a slideable blade with a cutting position and a retracted position inside the housing. A finger portion is cantilevered from the first end of the housing. The finger portion and the first edge define an elongated opening having a juncture end at the first end of the housing. A cutting edge is embedded at the juncture end. The cutting edge is shaped, sized and orientated to facilitate forward slitting of heavy plastic sheet. The slideable blade slides axially along a track. A biasing means repositions the slideable blade from the cutting position to the retracted position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for playing electronic advertisements in conjunction with other content deliverable through a communication network. The present invention is further directed to a method and system for tracking playing of an advertisement and using the play tracking information to determine the amount to be charged to an advertising client. In embodiments of the invention, the advertisement may be played upon the occurrence of a triggering event and removed from display to a viewer upon the occurrence of another triggering event. According to an embodiment of the present invention, playing of an advertisement may limit a viewer's access to other displayed content. The present invention may also incorporate a timing function such that a viewer is only shown an advertisement after a specified time has elapsed since the viewer was last shown an advertisement.
