BLOW-MOLDED PLASTIC STRUCTURES
A large, thin, generally planar panel constructed from blow-molded plastic may include a first surface, a second surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the first and second surfaces. The panel may include a nominal panel thickness (PT), which may be the distance between the first surface and the second surface, and a nominal wall thickness (WT), which may be the thickness of the outer wall of the blow-molded plastic structure. A plurality of depressions may be integrally formed in the second surface and a nominal distance (D) separating adjacent depressions may be measured from an edge of one depression to an edge of the adjacent depression. The relationship between the nominal panel thickness, the nominal wall thickness, and the nominal distance between adjacent depressions is shown by the equation WT.Math.PT.Math.D≦0.030.

POTTER'S WHEEL STAND
A potter's wheel stand that includes a supporting frame and a vertically adjustable stage with a tray to support a potter's wheel is described. The potter's wheel stand can be configured in free-standing and wall-mounted configurations. The potter's wheel stand can include a backsplash, a plurality of wheels, an integrated overhead lamp, and integrated power outlets or data ports.
EXTERNAL DETECTION SEE-THROUGH DOOR AND EXTERNAL DETECTION SEE-THROUGH CABINET HAVING SAME
One embodiment of the present disclosure provides an external detection see-through door of a cabinet that stores objects. The external detection see-through door includes a transmission window, a sensor configured to detect a specific external condition in front of the transmission window, a light emitting module configured to increase an amount of emitted light according to a signal from the sensor, which has detected the specific external condition, to increase an amount of light that is reflected from inside the cabinet and heads toward the transmission window, and an optical film that is provided on the transmission window and has a light transmittance that prevents the cabinet from being see-through from the outside before the sensor detects the specific condition and allows the cabinet to be see-through from the outside due to light that is reflected from inside the cabinet and transmitted through the transmission window and the optical film due to the light emitting module increasing the amount of emitted light according to the signal from the sensor that has detected the specific external condition.

Refrigerator
Provided is a refrigerator including a main body including a storeroom, a door body arranged to open or close the storeroom, a decoration panel coupled to a front side of the door body, and a holder mounted on the front side of the door body to be coupled to the decoration panel. The door body includes a rear case defining a rear side of the door body, and a main case defining front and sides of the door body. The main case includes a front part defining the front side of the door body and having an installation groove in which to install the holder, side parts defining sides of the door body, and a rear coupler coupled to the rear case. The main case is formed by bending a single metal board.
HIGH STRENGTH BLOW-MOLDED STRUCTURE
A blow-molded plastic structure has a hollow interior portion formed during a blow-molding process, and includes first and second outer portions that are spaced apart from each other, with the hollow interior portion disposed there between. The structure includes a pattern of structural stiffening features that are integrally formed in the second outer portion. The pattern of structural stiffening features includes a plurality of tripodal depressions disposed in rows and columns and a plurality of convex regions disposed in rows and columns between the plurality of tripodal depressions. Each convex region has a maximum height between the first and second outer portions. Each of the tripodal depressions extends into the hollow interior portion, includes three indentations disposed adjacent the first outer portion, and includes an island spaced away from the first outer portion. The island has three sides, each of which is disposed adjacent one of the three indentations.
