Mar 12, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/849891

Inventors:

Charles G. Kiolbasa - LaGrange IL
John Christiansen - Algonquin IL

Assignee:

Chapco Carton Company - River Grove IL

B65D 554
B65D 556

US Classification:

220416

Abstract:

A non-corrugated box cardboard construction. The box has exterior panels, top and bottom flaps, and interior pads. An interior panel lies interior to and immediately adjacent each exterior panel, whereby the interior panels reinforce and support the exterior panels. The exterior panels, interior panels and flaps are joined by continuity to each other, having been cut from a single sheet. The fold lines between the interior panels include perforation lines along the fold lines.

Abstract:

A dynamic information architecture system and method for coupling one or more independent computer models to a computer expert system. A context manager establishes the couplings at run-time based upon a user's input goals and constraints. The context manager links available, but not readily compatible, computer models to solve for the user's input. An interface is provided for enabling the linkages through a structure of objects and object classes. Entity, aspect and process objects are created according to each computer model to provide a common interface. Large or small scale computer models can be accessed collectively, and complex systems can be thus be modeled. An event queue is automatically assembled to schedule events that form an event driven computer simulation.
