摘要:
A paint container comprises an enclosed body and a handle. The body is substantially D-shaped and comprises a bottom, a top, a substantially flat first side, and a curved second side. The top includes an opening for dispensing the contents of the container. The substantially flat first side extends between the top and the bottom. The curved second side is located opposite the first side and extends between the top and the bottom. The handle is pivotally coupled to the body and moveable between a rest position and a use position. The handle is pivotable about an axis that is parallel to the first side and located between the first side and the second side. The handle is configured so that the handle moves from proximate the first side of the body toward the second side of the body when the handle is moved from the rest position to the use position.

A plastic paint container includes a body having an interior and a neck defining an opening to the interior. The neck includes a neck sealing surface. An insert includes an outer wall configured to fit within the opening of the body and defining the periphery of the insert. The outer wall includes an upper edge and a lower edge. A lip extends radially outward from the upper edge to prevent the insert from being pushed to far into or through the neck. The lip is formed from a first material and includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The lip includes a second material formed over the first material. The first material being harder than the second material. A cover is threadably engaged with the neck. The second material contacts the neck sealing surface and a cover sealing surface when the cover is threadably engaged on the neck.

An apparatus for holding a cover of a paint container is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a top, a base, and an intermediate member. The top is configured to engage the cover from a first side. The base is configured to engage the receptacle from a second side that is generally opposite the first side. The intermediate member is coupled to the top and to the base and is configured to maintain the spatial relationship of the top and the base when the top and the base are engaged with the container. The maintenance of the spatial relationship between the top and the base by the intermediate member when the top and the base are engaged with the container stops the cover from moving away from the receptacle during the shaking process.

A computer-implemented method for alerting passenger vehicles of approaching emergency vehicles is implemented by an alert management computing device. The method includes receiving an emergency vehicle alert request message from an emergency vehicle transmitter, receiving passenger vehicle location data from a plurality of passenger vehicle user computing devices located in a plurality of passenger vehicles, wherein the passenger vehicle location data includes a present passenger vehicle location and a present passenger vehicle trajectory, identifying an alert zone for the emergency vehicle based on the present emergency vehicle location and the present emergency vehicle trajectory, identifying a vehicle zone for each of the plurality of passenger vehicles, identifying a subset of the passenger vehicles within the alert zone by comparing each vehicle zone to the alert zone, and transmitting a warning to the subset of passenger vehicles via the passenger vehicle user computing devices.
摘要:
A system includes a control source that is provided on a server and control logic that executes on a terminal. The control logic executes on a terminal to (i) identify a plurality of attributes on the terminal, the attributes including an identifier for each of a plurality of terminal assets that include one or more of a hardware fixture, firmware, or operating system; and (ii) generate signature data from the plurality of attributes. The control source is configured to make a determination from the signature data as to whether the terminal is known or unknown.

Customers queuing in the contact center are provided with the option to request a ticket number. Upon a ticket number being generated for the customer, the customer may disconnect or hang up, and an absentee contact is maintained in a queuing system. This allows the customer to reconnect within a predefined period and regain a place in a queue, possibly at a more advantageous position or at the top of the queue. Alternatively, the customer may reconnect at a less favorable position, but without having to re-enter all customer details in order to be allocated to an appropriate queue.

The present invention provides methods for optimizing clinical responsiveness to chemotherapy in an individual through genotypic analysis of polymorphisms in at least one gene. The methods of the present invention may further comprise determining the level of at least one long-chain methotrexate polyglutamate (MTXPG) in a sample obtained from the individual. The present invention also provides methods for generating a pharmacogenetic index for predicting clinical responsiveness to chemotherapy in an individual through genotypic analysis of polymorphisms in at least one gene. In addition, the present invention provides methods for optimizing therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapy in an individual by calculating the level of at least one long-chain MTXPG in a sample obtained from the individual.

摘要:
Computer-implemented methods for allocating risks from major developments are described. The methods include identifying one or more future major developments with economic impact; identifying a parameter to indicate that each of the developments has or has not occurred; creating a contractual instrument that is based on the occurrence or non-occurrence of the one or more major developments; and trading the instrument. A contractual instrument based upon on an occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more major developments in electronic form and tradable in the methods is also described.
摘要:
A preferred embodiment of a hand-held radio frequency identification reader includes a first casing suitable for being grasped by a user, a second casing, and a transceiver housed within one of the first and second casings. The reader also includes an antenna housed within the second casing and communicatively coupled to the transceiver for communicatively coupling the reader to a radio frequency identification tag. The second casing is movably coupled to the first casing so that the second casing can be aligned with the radio frequency identification tag to substantially maximize a read distance of the reader while the first casing is held in a substantially fixed position in relation to the radio frequency identification tag.
