Abstract: Various techniques and designs for integrating protective packaging and shipping material within large objects such as computer systems are disclosed herein. This protective material, when exposed, allows the object it is coupled with to be safely transported and shipped. In one embodiment applicable to large machines such as computer mainframes, a protective shock-absorbent material such as foam is affixed to a first face of a reversible machine cover. The machine cover may be oriented to insert and hide the protective material within the machine and expose a cover on the second face. The cover then may be placed in a reverse orientation to expose the protective material on the first face. In this way, the protective material does not need to be separately stored or provided to the customer before transport. Further, the protective material is kept in a convenient location with the machine, and when deployed will provide shock protection according to original manufacturer specifications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a container and a method that can be used to transport and store AFM probes in a liquid buffer. This container fastens an AFM probe and consists of a plastic lid that secures a probe while keeping it in a controlled environment, thus preventing that the tips are contaminated by air-borne molecules, packaging material, deposited substances or air bubbles. In the case of functionalised probes, the surface molecules are still functional upon arrival. The tips cannot be broken upon transport because they are held by the container, however the probes can be easily removed upon opening of the container.

Abstract: A protection device for a memory module comprises protective sheets that can cover the memory. On the inner side of the protective sheet there is an adhesive film. On the upper edge of the protective sheet there are a flip-over clip and a flip receptor that are folded in 90 degrees. The fastening clip for the flip-over clip can go into the clip receptor of the flip receptor and allow the fastening on the top edges of the two protective sheets to accommodate the memory, which is attached with an adhesive film. It primarily has a tenon as an extension from at least one side of the fastening clip terminal. Thus, when the fastening clip locks into the clip receptor, there is a stop to prevent the fastened two protective sheets from separation. Further, a notch is formed on the two sides of the clamp leg terminal for the U-shaped fastener, so it fits with the bump for the groove on the protective sheet, to further prevent the detachment of the fastener.

The EAS unit can be removed from a protected item by opening, or parting, the carrier. Once the carrier is opened the EAS unit can be retrieved for reuse. External devices can be used to communicate with and disarm the EAS unit. If an EAS unit is removed without being disarmed, a switch detects the change in status and an audible alarm is generated.
Abstract: A mounting apparatus is provided for a storage device. The mounting apparatus includes a bracket, and an operating device. The bracket includes a first fixing arm, and a second fixing arm each forming a latching portion on an inside surface thereof, for engaging the storage device. The first fixing arm forms a receiving arm perpendicularly extending out from an end thereof. A sliding arm perpendicularly extends out from the second fixing arm and slidably received in the receiving arm. A locking portion is formed on the sliding arm. The operating device is rotatably attached to the received arm. The operating device includes an operating portion exposed out of the bracket, and an engaging surface. The operating portion is manipulated to allow the engaging surface to engage and disengage a side of the locking portion facing the second fixing arm.

Abstract: A hard disk drive holder includes main body, spindle slidably mounted to the main body, handle rotatably connected to the main body via the spindle, and hook slidably mounted to the main body. The handle includes claw and locking tongue. The handle rotates between closed and opened positions. When the handle is at closed position, if the spindle slides from a first position to a second position, the locking tongue gradually extends out of the main body. When the handle rotates to closed position, if the spindle isn't at first position, the claw engages with a blocking piece of the hook and compels the hook to slide from a third position towards a fourth position until the claw goes over the blocking piece. A first spring biases the spindle to second position. A second spring biases the handle to opened position. A third spring biases the hook to third position.
