Configurable container
A portable insulated storage container includes a first divider and an insulated body. The first divider includes a first projection defining a length having a first dimension and a width having a second dimension. The insulated body has an internal cavity adapted for storing items and at least partially bounded by a bottom, a first wall, and a second wall opposite the first wall. The first wall includes a first groove adapted to receive the first projection in a first orientation. One of the first wall and the second wall includes a second groove adapted to receive the first projection in a second orientation. The first groove has a width adapted to receive the width of the first projection and the second groove has a width adapted to receive the length of the first projection.
CHEESE VAULT
A food storage container including a bottom side having bottom surface features with differential heights, sides with at least one pair of opposing vertical channels; at least one divider panel sized for selective placement in the opposing vertical channels, and a lid. The divider panel has an upper edge that sealingly engages the lid and a lower edge that sealingly engages the bottom surface of the bottom side. Food placed on the bottom surface can breathe without passing odors to food in a neighboring compartment.

Plastic enclosure for enclosing industrial components
The invention relates to a plastic enclosure (1) for enclosing industrial components. The enclosure comprising a case (2) made of plastics. The case comprises a rectangular rear wall (3) and four side walls (4, 5, 6, 7) delimiting an interior (8) having four corners (9, 10, 11, 12) at the junctures of side walls. The rear wall and the side walls together form a monolithic unitary box-like container which has a mouth opening (13) at one side enabling access to the interior. Each corner comprises fastening means for fastening of one or more panels (P; P1) inside the interior in parallel and at a desired distance relative to the rear wall. The fastening means comprises a pair of rib members (14, 15) molded integrally as unitary monolithic structures with the side walls. The rib members extend along the side walls between the rear wall and the mouth opening. Each rib member comprises a plurality of equally spaced grooves (16) extending at right angle relative to the longitudinal direction of the rib member. The grooves (16) in the pair of the rib members (14, 15) of each corner are arranged as pairs of grooves which are mutually aligned, mutually located at the same level and facing each other. A support block (17) made of plastics having at least one pair of tongues (18) is adapted to be inserted into the at least one pair of grooves (16) to form tongue-and-groove joints at the two sides of the support block for holding the support block when installed to the corner. The support block (17) has a fastening element (19) for fastening of the panel (P; P1) to the support block.

Interchangeable dismountable hinged box for storing core samples
An interchangeable dismountable hinged box for storing core samples is provided that is particularly used in the field of the collection of mineral materials, deriving from geological exploration activities, for subsequent analysis. The interchangeable dismountable hinged box has modular walls that can be fitted interchangeably with a base allowing for the hinging of these walls between a parallel position and a position perpendicular to the base. The box has at least one storage compartment for core samples defined between two modular transversal walls and two modular longitudinal walls, and may contain additional storage compartments, obtained by interlocking interchangeable partitions with modular walls. The box is adaptable for meeting the need for storing core samples of varying diameters.

CONTAINER TO FACILITATE SELECTIVE DELIVERY OF PARCELS
An intelligent container system is provided that accommodates a variety of sizes and shapes of parcels, and that allows the parcels to be dispensed from the container one at a time, in any order. The container system has an open face, such as the bottom. A first panel cooperates with a second panel to selectively close the open bottom, and to selectively open the bottom below a desired parcel, allowing the parcel to be individually dispensed when desired. The container system has a plurality of dividers that can be moved along the length of the container to create a series of compartments that match the sizes of the parcels within the compartments. A position sensing system is used to determine the location of the dividers, and thus the location of the compartments.

Delivering items to unattended vehicles
The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for delivering items to unattended vehicles. In general, aspects of the invention facilitate controlled access to one or more portions of a vehicle for item deliver. A vehicle is configured with partitions. The partitions can be deployed to close off portions of the vehicle from an area used to accept a delivered item. Partitions may be automatically deployed when a delivery arrives (from a delivery person or robot) to section off a compartment of the vehicle to limit access to the sectioned compartment. Partitions can be re-configured to prevent external access to the sectioned off compartment after a delivery is completed.
