A container has a container base, a container lid and a closure. The container base includes a back member and a base sidewall extending upwardly therefrom. The container lid is hingedly-connected to the base and movable relative thereto between closed and open positions, the container lid including a front member and a lid sidewall extending downwardly therefrom. The closure extending from the container lid and engaging the container base to maintain the container lid in the closed position. A resilient insert with a plurality of storage receptacles for small items is accommodatable in the container base.

A tamper resistant cap for a container includes an inner cap and an outer cap. The inner cap has a threaded inner surface, and an upper surface with a plurality of upwardly extending teeth. The outer cap houses the inner cap and defines a central bore thereabove with an inner engagement surface. On an intermediate layer of the outer cap, below the upper bore, there are a plurality of downwardly extending teeth. The tamper resistant cap is releasably securable onto a neck of the container by engagement with the threaded inner surface and removable therefrom by applying a downward force to the outer cap to mesh the upwardly and downwardly extending teeth. The central bore is engageable with a frangible post of the container to effect removal thereof.

Mobile systems and methods that overcomes the deficiencies of prior art speech-based interfaces for telematics applications through the use of a complete speech-based information query, retrieval, presentation and local or remote command environment. This environment makes significant use of context, prior information, domain knowledge, and user specific profile data to achieve a natural environment for one or more users making queries or commands in multiple domains. Through this integrated approach, a complete speech-based natural language query and response environment can be created. The invention creates, stores and uses extensive personal profile information for each user, thereby improving the reliability of determining the context and presenting the expected results for a particular question or command. The invention may organize domain specific behavior and information into agents, that are distributable or updateable over a wide area network. The invention can be used in dynamic environments such as those of mobile vehicles to control and communicate with both vehicle systems and remote systems and devices.

A computer-implemented system and method for computing summaries of securities order book information from trading venues is provided. Messages, which include order book market tick data for order books, are received at a market data analyzer computer from a producer. The producer includes an electronic trading venue or a market data consolidator. The order book market tick data is summarized on the market data analyzer computer by computing time weighted averages of a volume of securities available at average spreads as the order book market tick data messages are received. Messages, which include the summaries of the order book market tick data, are transmitted from the market data analyzer computer to one or more consumers at some sampling interval or triggered by some sampling event. The number of the messages transmitted from the market data analyzer computer is lower than the number of messages received from the producer.

A hang tag having a bifolding body, one part of which has a long tail, and one of the parts having a recess adapted to receive an electronic article surveillance (EAS) device. The EAS device is placed or secured in the recess, the tail is wrapped around a piece of merchandise, and the other end of the tail is affixed to one of the bifolding bodies, and then the bifold is snapped shut permanently. The tag is made out of a tough, minimal stretch plastic such as nylon or another polyamide, enabling the tag to be assembled onto the merchandise simply by looping and snapping, without any riveting or other joining required. Using a tough polymer, the snap fit can be designed to create a permanent attachment so that the tag would have to be cut off or destroyed to remove it.

One piece snap close anti-theft hang tag for merchandise

A protective housing for an electronic article surveillance (EAS) tag is adhered directly to an article with an adhesive layer that is difficult to remove. The housing comprises a cavity defined by a base and rectilinear side walls, with the EAS tag secured against the base. The dimension of the side walls together with the adhesive layer is significantly greater than the thickness of the EAS tag, so that there is a substantial portion of the cavity between the EAS tag and the article to which the housing is attached.

Protective permanent housing for anti-theft tag

A hang tag having an electronic article surveillance (EAS) device is provided by using a conventional hang tag substrate, such as paper, securing the EAS device therein, and folding the substrate onto itself and securing it with a permanent adhesive. Preferably the substrate is accordian folded. With the EAS device permanently secured and hidden in a fold, the article is more amenable to consideration by the consumer, and the EAS device is unobtrusive.
