Systems and devices are provided for loading a transportation unit. The system includes a pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit is configured to receive and support loaded pallets. The pallet rack unit is configured to be loaded into the transportation unit with other pallet rack units that are substantially identical to the pallet rack unit. The pallet rack unit and the other pallet rack units, together, substantially fill a length and a width of the transportation unit. The pallet rack unit includes a base configured to receive a first loaded pallet. The pallet rack unit is further configured to be forkliftable. The pallet rack unit includes a plurality of posts coupled to the base and at least one height adjustable shelf coupled to the posts. The at least one height adjustable shelf is configured to receive and support a second loaded pallet. Additional shelves may be used to handle additional loaded pallets.

A modular storage system of connectable, heavy-duty storage boxes, crates, rolling carts and/or dollies, work surfaces, organizers, trays, accessories is provided for internal and external item storage and organization and convenient access for use and transport, that is expandable, customizable and readily adaptable. Storage boxes have different sizes by length, width and/or height and have universal box-to-box connection system for stacking and connection to mounting accessories. Boxes have removable, customizable organization inserts (e.g., dividers, storage trays, bins, alignment trays for bins, and bins of different sizes). Box lid rib grid with bosses and undercuts expands internal organization, including cooperation with dual purpose dividers and accessories. Boxes have external mounting accessories to expand external organization. Different housing modes are provided including wall mount systems for wall or side of a truck or van, and different transport modes are provided (e.g., base box with wheels, or on a dolly or a cart).

The present invention relates to a roller box including a sealed box and at least one roller unit; the sealed box includes at least one first cavity and at least one second cavity; the at least one roller unit is disposed in the at least one first cavity.

A multi-vessel reservoir assembly is provided. The multi-vessel reservoir assembly comprises a first fluid vessel, a second fluid vessel, and at least one linkage positioned between the first and second fluid vessels. The at least one linkage serves to maintain the first and second fluid vessels in fixed and spaced-apart relationship relative to one another.

A cup having an endless sidewall with a lower stacking shoulder formed of a sidewall and bottom heel including a convexly outwardly curved rib disposed at a transition between the sidewall and a cup bottom having a bottom wall having a recessed dome-shaped center section providing draw ratio bottom wall thickness reduction to an annular flat bottom wall section defining a puncture region of the cup. The cup sidewall has a ribbed section disposed adjacent the heel and extends upwardly at least one-quarter the height of the cup helping to strengthen the relatively thin sidewall to prevent it from undesirably deforming during puncturing of the cup bottom during beverage making. The cup may include an upper shoulder formed of an outwardly expanded section of the sidewall adjacent the top of the cup and defining an filter attachment seat on one side and a cup carrier on the opposite side.

Embodiments disclosed herein includes temperature monitoring in cold supply chains. In this regard, electrical conductors are affixed to containers in respective patterns that enables a set of containers to be arranged in a particular configuration in which the electrical conductors provide electrical connections between electrical conductors and, in aggregate, creates a sensing network that is operable to measure temperature of respective ones of the containers.

A universal handle attachment tool comprises a body having a plurality of tool sides each having a container interface surface operable to engage a face of a particular container, and having a container handle interface slot operable to receive a handle of the container. The slot can comprise a keyed profile operable to interface and lock the handle attachment tool to the container. The container interface surface extends in opposing directions beyond the slot to facilitate distribution of one or more loads acting between the face of the container and the handle attachment tool to facilitate manipulation of the container. A container for storage of at least one object comprises a container body defined by a plurality of sidewalls, and a recessed portion formed a sidewall defining a recessed cavity. The container has a handle spanning the recessed cavity, whereby the recessed cavity facilitates clearance of at least one finger of a user upon grasping the handle.

A control unit for an apparatus, the control unit comprising: a component-carrying member provided with at least one electronic component configured to provide a function of the apparatus; wherein the component-carrying member is formed of a material that is pliable at least during assembly of the control unit; and a laminate encapsulation layer encapsulating at least a part of the or each electronic component. Optionally, the control unit comprises a second member which defines a user-interaction surface.

Methods and apparatus for removably or irremovably interconnectable building block containers such as those capable of initially storing consumable items such as food and drink. After consumption of the food or drink, the cavity containing same may be cleaned and/or refilled with consumable or non-consumable items. The building block containers are utilized as building block toys and may be manufactured or otherwise designed to be collectable. In one aspect, the container connectors are nearly identical such that any one connector may mate with any other connector. In another aspect, the connectors are nearly identical but the orientations of each connector vary to allow mating to occur when the connectors are properly oriented. In another aspect, the container is a cube juice box with connectors on all four corners of all six sides of the container. A frame for holding a juice container may also be utilized.
