A method for forming a shipping support for a washing machine appliance includes attaching an elongated post to a corrugated sheet. The elongated post is oriented perpendicular to flutes of the corrugated sheet when the elongated post is attached to the corrugated sheet. The method also includes attaching the corrugated sheet to a frame. The frame has a truncated pyramid base at a center of the frame. The truncated pyramid base is formed with a plurality of supports attached to a plurality of flaps of the frame.

A system and method of construction based on rods and coils, that includes multiple parts comprising: distinct apparatuses, one or more coil joints, a coil body, and one or more coil spines; wherein any combination of the above parts can result in a variety of distinct structures; wherein the coil joint has 360 degree rotation; wherein the rotation can be limited to simulate other types of joints; wherein this coil joint can be combined with other joint styles to create hybrid styles; wherein there are 2 bias actions, one is an extending action and the other is a contracting action; wherein the action of the coil results in a more life-like motion than not using the coil; wherein the coil body has a flexible shape that can be locked into place; wherein the coil body has a high strength to weight ratio, which leads to high dimensional stability; wherein there is also hollow space for storage and transport of a package inside of the coil body; wherein the coil spine simulates the spines of living beings; wherein the coil spine is a flexible yet robust structure.

A system and method of construction based on rods and coils that can create a mechanical hand; wherein the coil joints function as the equivalent to human joints; wherein there are rods that function as the equivalent to human bones; wherein the coil joints create a dampening effect that simulates the dampening effect in human hands; wherein there are coil bodies of the hand, that are used for transport and storage; wherein the fingers of the artificial hand can be replaced with tools that are of a similar size and not excessive weight; wherein the coil joints can be modified to simulate various human joints; where there is a bias in all coils and coil joints; wherein the bias of the coil joints increases the ability of the artificial hand to grasp; wherein the bias of the coil joint functions as tendon tension; wherein the bias of all the coils results in more life-like motion; wherein movement of the finger can be performed with a single wire opposing the bias of the coil; wherein the artificial hand can have autonomous motion by utilizing an actuator system.

An apparatus for reducing a probability of damage to a vehicle from rising water includes a first sheet of a water-resistant material and a second sheet of the water-resistant material. A first side of a connector (e.g., zipper) is interfaced to a first periphery of the first sheet of the water-resistant material and a second side of the connector is interfaced to a second periphery of the second sheet of the water-resistant material. After a vehicle is placed upon the first sheet of the water-resistant material, the second sheet of the water-resistant material is draped over the vehicle and the first side connector is engaged with the second side connector, thereby encapsulating the vehicle within the first sheet and second sheet of the water-resistant material
