A display box displays the fluorescence of a gemstone having naturally occurring phosphors. The box has a top portion hinged with a bottom portion. A compact ultraviolet LED assembly is mounted at a mounting angle in the insert in a cavity of the top portion. The LED assembly has: an LED circuit; a 3 watt 365 nm ultraviolet LED diode disposed on the LED circuit; and an optical collimator having a parabolic lens to focus the emitted LED radiation to a less than 15 spread. A compact battery for powering the LED assembly is provided in a recess of the bottom portion. A central holder/deck holds the gemstone in a direct path of the emitted collimated LED radiation of the LED assembly. In operation, the gemstone seated in the central holder/deck emits a corona of strong visible fluorescence while the ultraviolet radiation and the LED assembly are not seen.

A container that is formed from a plurality of panels that are joined to each other by a plurality of edge brackets. Each of the edge brackets includes a first channel member and a second channel member that are joined to each other. The first channel member includes a first receiving channel and the second channel member includes a second receiving channel. The first and second receiving channels are arranged to be perpendicular to each other and are each sided to receive a side edge of one of the panels that form the container. The series of edge brackets can be used to securely assembly the container from the plurality of panels after the disassembled container has been shipped.

A humidity control container may include a container enclosure having an enclosure interior. An enclosure lid may be supported by the container enclosure. The enclosure lid may be selectively deployable in a closed lid position and an open lid position on the container enclosure. The enclosure lid may form a substantially airtight seal with the container enclosure in the closed lid position. At least one humidity pack compartment may be supported by the enclosure lid. The humidity pack compartment may be suitably sized and configured to contain at least one humidity pack. The humidity pack in the humidity pack compartment may be disposed in air communication with the enclosure interior of the container enclosure when the enclosure lid is deployed in the closed lid position on the container enclosure.

A stave wood for the production of a stave of a wood container, having a first layer of a first wood and a second layer of wood. The second layer being a layer of a second wood different from the first wood. The first and second layers of wood being assembled together exclusively by a mortice and tenon joint with no adhesive binder. The face of the second layer opposite that intended to form an exterior face of the stave includes one or more tenons forming a projection thereon extending only along the longitudinal axis of the stave wood. The face of the first layer of wood opposite that is intended to an interior face of the stave includes a corresponding mortice for each tenon of the second layer of wood a extending along the longitudinal axis of the stave wood.

A reduced weight packaging system for industrial equipment is provided. The packaging system includes a first module that defines a baseplate. A second module is superimposable on the baseplate. The second module defines an interior where the industrial equipment is to be housed during operation. At least a first portion of the first module is made from a wood-based material, such as mass timber, and the second module is made from the wood-based material. The packaging system may be designed to achieve at least the same strength ratings as non-wood materials like concrete and steel while maintaining a relatively lighter weight and reducing carbon emissions based on the reduced carbon footprint of wood-based construction materials compared to such non-wood materials.

A box (10) has a body (12) and a lid assembly (14). The body has walls (18) with interior wall surfaces (20) bounding an interior space (16). The box lid assembly is removable and covers an opening (22) of the box, and includes a rigid outer lid (32) having an edge region positioned to bear against the one end of the box when the box lid assembly is covering the opening, a compliant interference fastener (34) secured to the outer lid and having two ribs (42) arranged to engage the interior wall surfaces, and a rigid inner lid (38) permanently secured to the rigid outer lid with the interference fastener sandwiched between the rigid outer lid and the rigid inner lid. The ribs of the interference fastener are of limited length (L) so as to not extend to the corners of the box body when engaging the interior wall surfaces.

A shadow box frame container is disclosed, providing a shadow box for housing the ashes of a deceased person or pet, as well as personal items of the deceased person or pet. The shadow box frame container may be hung up on a wall to display personal items, such as photos, a collage, or artwork. The shadow box frame container may include a recorder and speaker that can record and play a thirty second recording multiple times.
