A display container for a botanical sample includes (a) an enclosure having an interior chamber for storing the botanical sample; (b) a plurality of scent ports extending through a wall of the enclosure between the interior chamber and environment; (c) a plug mounted to the enclosure and sealing the scent ports, the plug movable away from the enclosure to expose the scent ports for facilitating sampling of an aroma of the botanical sample when in the enclosure; and (d) an elongate mounting projection in the chamber for retaining the botanical sample thereon.

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 liquid storage tank has a breathing valve that vents the tank's headspace at a high-pressure value and admits an ambient gas at a low-pressure value. A controller generates a first control signal when the percentage of the catalyst gas is less than a catalyst threshold, a second control signal when the percentage of the catalyst gas exceeds the catalyst threshold, and a third control signal when the pressure in the headspace is equal to a low-pressure threshold between the breathing valve's low-pressure value and high-pressure value. The first valve is only opened to output inert gas at a discharge pressure greater than the breathing valve's high-pressure value in response to the second control signal. The second valve is only opened to output inert gas at a discharge pressure that is between the breathing valve's low-pressure value and high-pressure value in response to the third control signal.

A system for holding a plurality of vials of a fluid that consists of a biological substance for the purpose of maintaining a predetermined temperature of the biological substance over a predetermined period of time. The system includes a two piece carrier in combination with a one piece vial rack supported by the two piece carrier. The one piece vial rack has a plurality of vial passages each for accommodating an elongated vial that contains the biological substance.

A system and method are provided to monitor, store and communicate data on parameters of a consumable product stored in a sealed container. In one embodiment, the method includes hermetically sealing the product in the container, and packaging the container for sale to a consumer. Packaging includes attaching a system to the container to monitor and store in the memory data on parameters of the consumable product. Attaching the system includes affixing a flexible substrate including a laser-detector pair directly to an outer surface of the container. The laser-detector pair is configured to pass laser light through the container to reflect from a reflector affixed to the outer surface of the container opposite the laser-detector pair to non-invasively sense parameters of the consumable product. The method further includes providing an interrogator to the consumer to communicate with the system to access the data.

A product packaging container for containing and displaying a product. The container includes a lid and a container portion. The lid has a lid rim and lid outer side having a semi-spherical lid outer surface. The lid is formed of a translucent material and the lid is optically magnifying with respect to light passing through the lid. The container portion having a container portion inner side and defining a container longitudinal axis. The container portion inner side being defined by a container portion rim. The container portion has a product cavity. The lid is only able to move along the longitudinal axis from an engaged configuration to a separated configuration upon the lid being rotationally aligned with the container portion at a predetermined position about the longitudinal axis, and the container portion being flexed in plastic deformation in response to a lateral compressive force radially inward toward the longitudinal axis.

A disposable container for food or beverage has a resistive heating element and a temperature sensor, where electric power is applied to the heating element which generates heat used to warm the container and its contents. A processor monitors the container and content temperature using a signal from the temperature sensor, and controls the temperature of the container and content using a switch circuit, so that the temperature is raised to a preset level, and then the electrical power is removed from the heating element.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a disposable single-use pedicure kit and packaging solution for manicure and pedicure kits, or other multi-step beauty treatments. The kit includes an exterior package, where at least a portion of the exterior package is transparent, a bath bomb and a cup including a predetermined quantity of a beauty product between 10 grams and 100 grams, and a non-re-sealable closure seal that seals the predetermined quantity of the beauty product in the cup, and where the bath bomb and the cup are contained in the exterior package and where at least a portion of the bath bomb and at least a portion of the non-re-sealable closure seal of the cup is visible through the transparent portion of the exterior package.

There are provided a composite material, a packaging container, and a composite material inspection method, which have a high degree of freedom in a place where the inspection is performed. The packaging container 10 includes a medicine storage space forming portion 16. The medicine storage space forming portion 16 has two first parts 20 and two second parts 22. The first part 20 and the second part 22 are formed of the same material. The material is a composite material 30 described below. The composite material 30 includes one covering portion 40, one conductive layer 42, one insulating layer 44, another insulating layer 46, another conductive layer 48, another covering portion 50, and a short-circuit preventing portion 52.

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.
