Abstract: The invention provides a dissembleable and reusable package is provided for static, debris and shock sensitive objects. The package comprises a folding box of single piece static dissipative corrugated plastic interlocking configuration. The box has an interlocking bottom, an open top and two pairs of parallel opposite sides. A shock absorbing pad structure fits against the central portions of the sides. The pad structure is a solid self-skinning plastic foam which is static dissipative. It is detachably attachable against the sides utilizing fasteners. A shock absorbing plastic bottom pad fits inside of the box atop its bottom. An open top static dissipative plastic bag fits within the box atop the shock absorbing bottom pad and substantially lines the box. A sensitive object holding structure includes first and second pluralities of static dissipative corrugated plastic walls which interlock with one another, the pluralities of walls being mutually perpendicular. The walls are releasably interlockable with one another and, when interlocked, define a plurality of cavities, each of which is adapted to closely hold one of the sensitive objects. The sensitive object holding structure is of a size to fit within the bag and, when the bag is pushed within the box, is of a size such that the respective opposite ends of the walls are closely adjacent the interiors of the sides of the box.

Abstract: Described are methods, systems, apparatuses, computer program products embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and means for providing online challenges between bands in a musical video game. Typically the invention is executed on a game server in signal communication with a game platform and involves receiving, by the game server, musical game input data representing a musical performance of a band. Then, the game server calculates a composite score from the input data based on a gameplay challenge. Then the composite score is compared to a composite score of a second band's performance for the same gameplay challenge. In some embodiments, the comparison is displayed as a real-time representation of the two bands, even though score of the second band is based on a stored performance of the second band.

Abstract: One or more unique hinges are provided within panels of a fragility packaging article for use in retaining one or more fragile articles within a container (e.g., a corrugated box). The unique hinges provide predicted deformation paths that assist in protecting one or more fragile items stored in the container. One of the unique hinges is a diamond shaped hinge that provides at least two predicted deformation paths. Other unique hinges of the present invention includes a gusset hinge, a step hinge, and a v-hinge, each of which provides at least one predicted deformation path. The predicted deformation paths reduce permanent deformation and provide for improved overall cushioning, thereby increasing protection of fragile items and significantly reducing damage that may occur to the fragile items. The unique hinges of the present invention also improve the cosmetic appearance of a fragility packing article because a majority of crushing occurs along the unique hinges, preventing random unsightly crush points from occurring throughout the packaging article.
