A foldable container that includes a top section, middle section, and a bottom section. The middle section is connected to both the top and the bottom sections. The top section includes a top first panel comprising one or more apertures sized to accommodate a top portion of one or more transport items. The bottom section includes a bottom first panel comprising one or more apertures sized to accommodate a bottom portion of one or more transport items.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications and, more particularly, to synchronization for standalone long term evolution (LTE) broadcast. In one aspect, a method is provided which may be performed by a wireless device such as a user equipment (UE). The method generally monitoring, within anchor subframes occurring at a first periodicity, for synchronization signals of a first type, obtaining an indication of one or more unicast subframes scheduled to occur between anchor subframes, and obtaining an indication of one or more broadcast subframes scheduled to occur between anchor subframes.

The construction and design of new multi-laminate sheet materials for the fabrication of shipping containers, boxes, furniture, consumer items, and many other products, including those generally using panels in their design, is disclosed. These new materials are produced by employing advanced folding techniques, to yield lightweight, cost effective multi-laminates. At least one layer in the multi-laminate structure is a folded sheet tessellation which, in some embodiments, can have doubly periodic folded geometries with fold creases in multiple non-parallel directions. The various layers of the construction can interlock with each other to collectively provide mechanical stiffness, strength, energy absorption and other properties.

A 3D shaped packaging product (20) for cushioning and/or thermal insulation of packaged goods is formed by hot pressing at an average pressure equal to or below 200 kPa of an air-laid blank (10) comprising natural fibers at a concentration of at least 70% by weight of the air-laid blank (10) and a thermoplastic polymer binder at a concentration selected within an interval of from 4 up to 30% by weight of the air-laid blank (10). The 3D shaped packaging product (20) has a density that is less than four times a density of the air-laid blank (10) and the density of the 3D shaped packaging product (20) is selected within an interval of from 15 to 240 kg/m.sup.3. The 3D shaped packaging product (20) maintains at least a significant portion of the porosity of the air-laid blank (10) even after hot pressing and therefore provides excellent shock absorbing and damping properties and thermal insulation.

A folded 3D shaped packaging product (30) is folded at at least one crease (22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 22E) constituting a folding line in a 3D shaped product (20) formed by hot pressing of an air-laid blank (10) comprising natural fibers at a concentration of at least 70% by weight of the air-laid blank (10) and a thermoplastic polymer binder at a concentration selected within an interval of from 4 up to 30% by weight of the air-laid blank (10). The folded 3D shaped packaging product (30) is useful for cushioning and/or thermal insulation of packaged goods and can protect multiple sides of the packaged goods.

A packaging with a packaging arrangement and at least one product received therein, such as in particular a medical product, and a method for manufacturing the packaging are disclosed. The packaging arrangement has a first packaging element, which has a trough-shaped receiving space for receiving the product, wherein the receiving space is delimited by a receiving base and a peripheral wall, which is connected with the receiving base. The packaging arrangement has a second packaging element inserted into the receiving space, which element has a plastically deformable deformation region and a plug-in region which extends peripherally around the deformation region and spans the same, wherein the product is arranged between the deformation region and the receiving base and the deformation region is at least plastically deformed in sections complementarily to the product, by contacting the same. The product is elastically clamped between the receiving base and the deformation region.

A compartment for storing fuel in a vehicle having a protective outer structure and an inner structure. The protective outer structure is maintained in position relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. The inner structure, which holds fuel, is positioned in the outer structure. The inner structure is maintained in position relative to the outer structure and relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. During an impact to the vehicle, the inner structure is configured to move independent of the outer structure.

A system, method, and device for shipping, transporting, storing, and managing logistics of a variety of cargo. A crate is disclosed that allows for easy and inexpensive return shipment (reverse logistics) after use through a collapsible, interlocking system of a pallet base, foldable side wall assemblies, and a lid that can be removably connected to one another. The crate can utilize guide protrusions and corresponding guide recesses to fit the components together. The height of the crate can be increased by additional tiers of side walls. Latch assemblies can be utilized to fasten adjacent components together. The crate may include a tracking or monitoring device that can monitor one or more of humidity, temperature, tilt, impact, vibration, and variety of desired conditions. The system may include Bluetooth beacons on each of the components and a Bluetooth sensor in the monitoring device in the pallet base to monitor disassembled components.

A tub support that fits inside the top opening of a washing machine to prevent the wash tub from moving relative to the cabinet during shipping and handling, and a blank for making a tub support. The tub support may comprise a rear folded portion having a plurality of rear tub contact points that contact the wash tub, and a sidewall configured to contact the top edge of the wash tub along a plurality of tub contact points and to contact the rim of the washing machine cabinet along a plurality of cabinet contact points.
