International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

455466

Abstract:

Described is a technology directed towards providing a single page of data that when rendered (e.g., on a mobile device) displays combined content from multiple endpoints (e.g., corresponding to different messaging participants). Interaction with the page facilitates communication back to each endpoint. Bidirectional communication logic such as a messaging application provides the interactive page as a user interface. Content corresponding to each conversation is displayed in a separate area, which may include an interactive mechanism (e.g., a text input area and send mechanism) for sending a message to the messaging participant associated with that conversation. When content changes (e.g., following a page refresh), a change indication may be provided, such as by displaying a notification banner, and/or by changing the appearance (e.g., color) of changed message content. A page collapsing mechanism may limit the content displayed on the single page, such as based on a maximum number of messaging conversations.

US Classification:

30278, 83 13

Abstract:

A tool for use in cutting a tie wrap that is bound about at least one wire and a method of operating the tool. The tool includes a housing having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are coupled together to define a cavity. The housing further includes a groove formed in the first side and in the second side, wherein the groove is in flow communication with the cavity. A blade is coupled to the first side and positioned with the cavity, wherein the blade includes a cutting surface partially extending into the groove. The tool also includes a spacer coupled to the housing and configured to maintain the wire a distance away from the cutting surface when the housing is applied to the tie wrap.

B26B 25/00

Abstract:

A method of cutting a tie wrap, bound about at least one wire, using a cutting tool is provided. The method comprising steps of: applying a housing of the cutting tool to the tie wrap, positioning a portion of the tie wrap within a first groove of the housing between first two opposing sidewalls and second two opposite sidewalls of the housing, moving the at least one wire and maintaining the at least one wire a distance away from the tie wrap, moving a circular blade of the cutting tool against the portion of the tie wrap, positioned within the first groove, and at least partially cutting the tie wrap with the circular blade. In some examples, the method further comprises controlling a depth of the circular blade within the tie wrap while the circular blade at least partially cuts the tie wrap.

International Classification:

B26B 27/00
B26B 29/06
B65B 69/00
B26D 7/00

Abstract:

A tool for cutting a tie wrap bound about a wire bundle. The tool includes a body portion having a generally disc-shaped cutter and cutting edge. A shield covers one side of the cutter and defines first and second shield slots in communication with the cutting edge. A housing pivotally connected to the body portion covers the other side of the cutter and defines first and second housing slots that communicate with the cutting edge. The housing pivots between first, second, and third positions. In the first position, the first housing slot communicates with the first shield slot to expose the cutting edge for cutting purposes. In the second position, the first housing slot is out of communication with the first shield slot, thereby covering the cutting edge. And, in the third position, the second housing slot communicates with the second shield slot to expose the cutting edge.
