A novel and useful container suitable for holding objects such as flowers and which may include a platform configured to be coupled to at least one flower. A body may include at least one wall that may extend between top and bottom edges and may define at least a portion of a cavity configured to receive the platform. The top edge may define a first opening leading to the cavity. A bottom wall may be located at or near the bottom edge of the body and may define a second opening leading to the cavity. A tensioner may be coupled to the platform and may form a tab that may partially extend from the platform towards the bottom wall and may be configured to be grasped by a user to urge at least a portion of the platform from the cavity towards the second opening when the tab is pulled.

The present invention relates to a foundation container including a discharge pump having a short working stroke, the foundation container including an outer container main body (10); an outer container cap (20) coupled to the outer container main body (10) and opened/closed; a container main body (30) coupled inside the outer container main body (10); and a container cap (40) coupled to the upper portion of the container main body (30) and opened/closed, wherein the foundation container comprises a container interruption plate (34) coupled inside the upper portion of the container main body (30), a discharge pump (50) coupled to the center of the container interruption plate (34), and a content diffusion plate (60) coupled to the discharge pump (50); the discharge pump (50) comprises a pump main body (52), a pump upper body (54), a pump inner body (56), a discharge valve (57), and an elastic member (58); and the diffusion plate (60) is configured to extend to the pump upper body (54).

Devices, systems, and methods for detecting molecules of interest within a collected sample are described herein. In certain embodiments, self-contained sample analysis systems are disclosed, which include a reusable reader component, a disposable cartridge component, and a disposable sample collection component. The reader component may communicate with a remote computing device for the digital transmission of test protocols and test results. In various disclosed embodiments, the systems, components, and methods are configured to identify the presence, absence, and/or quantity of particular nucleic acids, proteins, or other analytes of interest, for example, in order to test for the presence of one or more pathogens or contaminants in a sample.

A cartridge is provided having at least one reception chamber (2), which extends in the longitudinal direction, for a medium to be dispensed, having a head part (4), a base part (6) and a cartridge wall (3) which bound the reception chamber (2), with the head part (4) having an outlet (5) for the medium. The cartridge wall (3) is designed as a film (3), the head part (4) and the base part (6) in each case as fixed shape parts and the head part (4) is sealingly and non-releasably connected to the cartridge wall (3). A multicomponent cartridge is furthermore provided by the invention.

A coaster is structured to be coupled to a conventional cup, such as an iced beverage cup, using a conventional cup sleeve. The coaster includes a generally disk shaped base having an outer perimeter. Two or more elongate tethers extend outwardly from the outer perimeter of the base. The coaster assumes a combination-ready configuration with the two or more elongate tethers extending generally upright and outwardly to a same side of the base, in such a way that the coaster fits snugly within a conventional cup sleeve. In a final combination configuration with a cup sleeve, the coaster combines with the cup sleeve to create an insulating and water absorptive coaster and sleeve, frictionally and snugly coupled to the cup in a robust manner to make the coaster highly portable together with the cup and cup sleeve, and configured to collect condensation formed on the exterior surface of the cup.

A system for picking items from a containerised storage system is described. The items are stored in storage bins in stacks within a framework comprising a grid system disposed above the stacks of bins. Robotic devices are disposed on the grid, the devices acting so as to pick containers from the stacks of bins. The storage system is provided with at least one picking device for picking items from bins and depositing them directly in delivery containers DT.
