US Classification:

705028000

Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention generally provide a disk drive inventory data processing system. In one embodiment, the disk drive inventory data processing system is configured as a mobile hub sorting system (MHSS) that is adapted to receive and processes data from an independent disk drive inventory management system such as a disk drive inventory distribution hub. The disk drive inventory data processing system determines the status of the disk drive inventory and then segregates the disk drives into distributable and not distributable pallets, cartons, and individual disk drives. In another embodiment, the disk drive inventory data processing system provides processed disk drive inventory information to update the independent disk drive inventory system on the shipping status of the disk drives, pallets, and cartons.

International Classification:

G09F 300

US Classification:

40107

Abstract:

An improved permanent calendar assembly is disclosed which is to display any month of any year. The construction includes a flat main body with forwardly protruding tracks for removable mating with date columns. For flexibility of display, end pieces carrying one of the dates "29", "30" and "31" on one surface and a blank on an opposed surface are rotatably or pivotally mounted at the bottom of the date columns so that either side of any of the end pieces may be selected for display. The calendar also features a construction that allows easy removal and rearrangement of the vertical date columns and yet prevents their disengagement when, for example, when the calender is tilted forward. At least one lipped horizontal track extends across the rear of the date column area. Defined in the back wall of each date column are at least two openings or grooves that can mate with the track, as desired.

Inventors:

Ronald S. Lane - Plainsboro NJ

International Classification:

G09D 302

US Classification:

40107

Abstract:

An improved permanent calendar assembly adapted and structured to display any month of any year. As in known calendars of this type, the construction features a flat main body with forwardly protruding tracks for removable mating with date columns. For flexibility of display blocks or end pieces carrying dates "29", "30" and "31" are rotatably or removably mounted onto the date columns. The date mounting structure allows both sides of the blocks to be shown, one side carrying a date and the reverse side being blank.

Appl. No.:

6/726188

Inventors:

Ronald S. Lane - Plainsboro NJ

International Classification:

G09D 300

US Classification:

40107

Abstract:

An improved permanent calendar construction that allows easy removal and rearrangement of vertical date columns and yet prevents their disengagement when, for example, the calendar is tilted forward. Extending horizontally across the date column area or well, there is located at least one lipped horizontal track. Defined inthe back wall of each date column are at least two openings or grooves that can mate with the track, as desired. The lip results in a track which extends in more than one straight axial direction and thus engages the groove at least in dual directions (and with the end portion of the track furthest from the back wall terminating in an upwardly and perpendicular direction from an axis perpendicular to the back wall). An example of the preferred embodiment is a track with a right angle lip. Of course, at a minimum, the purposes of the present invention can be accomplished if the track is not lipped and is parallel to or diagonally upwardly directed toward the rear wall.
