Universal wraps are used in the construction of a container centerbody. The wraps may take the form of a top and bottom wrap with complementary stacking patterns, in which the wraps create the centerbody. The wraps permit stacking of different-style containers regardless of which container is positioned as the bottom container. The universal wraps may include curved edge portions to seamlessly and aesthetically blend in with a side panel of the container. The stacking patterns of the wraps may take different forms with various shaped protuberances and recessed portions. Further, one or more of the wraps may have isolation features attached to or integrally formed with an interior surface of the wrap.

A container having a center portion and two side portions each situated at an angle to the center portion and extending in opposite directions such that the a left half of the container is substantially identical to a right half of the container but rotated 180 degrees to form a Z shaped profile of the container. This Z shaped profile allows containers to be stacked upon each other to provide space savings in storage and shipping of the container and the container when filled with liquid.

The present invention relates to a box for packaging core samples from rock drilling, used in particular in field of mineral sampling from geological exploration activities for subsequent analysis. The box (1) is defined by a structure formed by a single body produced by injection molding of a thermoplastic material which comprises female fittings (4) and male fittings (5) for laterally interlocking the boxes (1), closing and locking means for the cover (2) on the box (1), anatomical transport handles (7), openings (8) and channels (80) for draining liquid fractions and texturing for identifying the collected samples (not shown).

An interlocking or mating container and container system are presented herein. In particular, the system includes a plurality of adjacently disposed (side-by-side, end-to-end and stacked) containers that are dimensioned to maximize the available space on a pallet, for example, a 463-L Pallet, HCU-6/E Pallet or other pallet. The containers include enlarged wheels, one or more support feet, and a handle assembly. The containers are configured to include a plurality of interlocking or mating portions such as one or more wheel assembly receiving portions, one or more foot receiving portions, outer extensions or engaging portions, and a handle engaging portion. The Interlocking or mating portions are configured to matingly engage or abut corresponding portions of an adjacent container and at least partially restrict movement there between.

A pallet comprising an upper deck, a lower deck, a front wall, a rear wall, left and right sidewalls, and interlocking structure. The interlocking structure interconnect two or more pallets without external fasteners or tools and may include a number of spaced apart vertically extending protrusions and a number of recesses positioned between the vertically extending protrusions. The vertically extending protrusions may be equally spaced apart from each other or spaced apart from each other at discrete multiples of a predetermined unit distance. The vertically extending protrusions may be U-shaped teeth or of any other suitable geometry and may partially or fully extend between the upper deck and lower deck. The pallet may engage adjacent pallets via the interlocking structure in an offset arrangement so that the pallets engage opposing walls of a transportation enclosure. This prevents the pallets from shifting laterally during transport.

A pallet comprising a primary body having an upper deck, a lower deck, and a set of lift channels. The upper deck includes horizontally extending upper surfaces and downwardly sloping walls extending from the upper surfaces. The horizontally extending upper surfaces are configured to receive flat objects. The downwardly sloping walls form upper support cradles for receiving horizontally-oriented curved objects thereon. The lower deck includes horizontally extending lower surfaces and upwardly sloping walls extending from the lower surfaces. The horizontally extending lower surfaces are configured to be positioned on flat objects. The upwardly sloping walls form lower support cradles for positioning the pallet on horizontally extending curved objects. The lift channels are vertically spaced from the upper support cradles and the lower support cradles such that the curved objects positioned above and below the pallet will not interfere with lifting forks being inserted into the lift channels.

Provided herein are compositions and methods for proteomic analysis. In particular, provided herein are compositions and methods for performing mass spectrometry-based protein quantitation analysis.

In accordance with an embodiment, a hybrid modular furniture and container unit includes a base shell, a base core layer, and a set of base inner panels. The base shell has a shell bottom, a first shell wall, a second shell wall, a third shell wall, a fourth shell wall, and upper flaps associated with each of the respective walls. The base core layer has a core bottom, a first core wall, a second core wall, a third core wall, and a fourth core wall. The core layer is disposed within the base shell. The base inner panels include a first inner panel wall, a second inner panel wall, a third inner panel wall, and a fourth inner panel wall. The inner panel walls disposed within the shell and each upper flap is folded over a respective core wall and inner panel wall.

A method of packing a temperature sensitive product utilizes a temperature controlled product shipper that includes a phase change material bladder which can be filled at the point of packaging. The temperature sensitive product is contained within an product box or master case, which is in turn packed inside an insulated liner and an outer box. The PCM bladder fits between the master case and the insulated liner and is filled with a preconditioned flowable PCM at the point of packing just before closing the box for shipment.
