A reusable container includes a container portion and a microcontroller device. The microcontroller device includes a microcontroller and a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is configured for wireless communication with a local area network including at a least a first radio receiver or the first radio receiver and a first computer. The local area network is external to the reusable container. The local area network is configured to determine location data corresponding to a location of the container based on at least a location of the radio receiver or the first computer. The microcontroller is configured to store the location data.

A container includes a bottom box and a top lid. The bottom box includes a containing space adapted to contain the contents. The bottom box has a tilted shape wherein the bottom box has one side height greater than another side height. The top lid includes an integrally formed lens and formed with a plurality of air holes on a top surface thereof. The top lid is removably assembled with the bottom box.

A bottle with sensors for probing and optimizing bottling line performance is disclosed. According to one embodiment a bottle, comprises an outer layer and a reservoir tube inside the outer layer that connects a reservoir inside the outer layer to a neck of the bottle. The bottle has a battery inside the outer layer and one or more sensors powered by the battery.

A device for storing oil or another vaporizable substance can include a porous body adapted to absorb a volume of liquid and to retain the volume of liquid for vaporization. A porous body can include a matrix of pores adapted to take up and retain oil by capillary action. A method of vaporizing oil can include storing the oil in a porous body and heating the body.

A display container for displaying an aromatic botanical specimen includes: (a) a container body for enclosing the botanical specimen and scented air having a scent of the botanical specimen; (b) at least one scent discharge port in the container body; and (c) an air pump coupled to the container body and operable to discharge the scented air from within the container body to the environment through the scent discharge port.

A packaged filtration mask can include a filtration mask packaged in a container in a vacuum or a partial vacuum. The container can be a tearable container, at least a portion of which can include a laminate of a first part and a second part. A resistance to tearing of the second part can be different than a resistance to tearing of the first part.

An apparatus having a foil pack defining a device enclosure and a fluid conduit defining a fluid channel. The device enclosure may be configured to hold an energy storage device such as a battery or capacitor. The fluid conduit defines a fluid channel configured to allow a flow from the device enclosure through a test port defined by the fluid conduit. The apparatus is configured to establish a vacuum in the device enclosure when a vacuum is established in the fluid channel (e.g., during leak testing of the device enclosure). A scaffolding within the fluid conduit is configured to configured to resist a collapse of the fluid channel when the vacuum is established in the fluid channel.

The present invention provides a novel sealed retail package for selling a retail electronic mobile accessory, e.g., cell phone/tablet case or a cell phone/tablet screen protector. The novel structure of the sealed retail package permits a retail customer to compare the size of the retail electronic mobile accessory to the customer's electronic mobile device, e.g., a cell phone/tablet. Preferably, the sealed retail package is a retail package containing at least one electronic mobile accessory having a particular preset size. The retail package has a planar front surface and a planar back surface with a shaped recessed indentation on the planar back surface of the retail package. The shaped recess indentation has a configuration for receiving the customer's electronic mobile device within the recessed indentation, for determining if the customer's electronic mobile device fits the electronic mobile accessory being offered for sale. In alternate embodiments, the application includes various other types of sealed packages with shaped recesses.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a multisensory examination jar for botanical specimens. Embodiments of the disclosed jar may have a body portion with an integrated LED array for illuminating the contents of the jar. The jar may have a removable lid with an integrated magnifying lens, and an opening or port to enable a user to smell the contents of the jar. The opening may have a removable plug to establish a substantially air tight seal on the lid of the jar, to trap odors within the jar. The removable plug can be selectively removed to enable the user to smell the contents of the jar. The jar may have an electronics module and power source operable for wireless charging. The jar may also be configured to interface with a charging dock or base for wireless charging of integrated batteries.

A payment card includes hidden features (e.g., textual messages, graphics, emphasis features associated with conspicuous features of the payment card, or the like) undiscernible under only visible light, but discernable under ultraviolet light. The hidden features can be incorporated into multiple layers of a side of the payment card and can be present at different transparencies. A container (e.g., presentation box) can include a circuit to detect when the container is opened and cause the hidden features to be illuminated with ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light source can be incorporated into the container itself, or can be incorporated into the payment card (e.g., activated by supplying a signal to the payment card from the container).
