Hook means (340) for a plastic container (100) upper closure for containing and transporting horticultural products, which allow for an easy and quick connection and disconnection thereof, wherein the hook means (340) consist of: a female end (341) having a central opening (343) with guide elements (344) and retaining elements (345); and a male end (347) having a head (346) configured to be introduced in the opening (343) of the female end.

Bottom base (220) for a plastic container (100) bottom for containing and transporting horticultural products which allows to control deformation of the structure on forces and to maintain the integrity of the products stored inside the container (100), being said bottom base (220) limited by a bottom frame (210), wherein the bottom base (220) comprises rectangular beams (230) in the diagonals joining the bottom frame profiles (210).

A means of suspending items within a transportable container, such as an environmental enclosure like a common cooler or ice-chest. Inside the container, items are supported by resting on top of a shelf or platform that may be rigid, semi-rigid, inflatable, pleated, telescoping, floating, cushioned, or flexible. The shelf may be supported by straps that may exit the container and are fastened to, or encircle, the interior and/or exterior of the container. The mechanism for attachment to the outside of the container may be a simple loop over an external anchor point affixed to the outside of the container, or a latch or latches, or a magnetic device, or a continuous loop or loops that encircle the container such that no external anchor is required.

The invention is based on a musical instrument case, in particular for storage of a string instrument, with at least one housing, with at least one storage region, which is delimited by the housing, for storage of a musical instrument, and with at least one fixing unit, which is provided to fixate a musical instrument in the storage region at least substantially fixedly as regards a position. It is proposed that the at least one fixing unit comprises at least one structural element of low flexural strength, which is in a fixated state of a musical instrument provided to contact a body of the musical instrument.

Methods, computer-readable medium, and apparatus are described for detecting a plurality of package types in the custody of a node-enabled logistics receptacle in a wireless node network. The receptacle detects a first type of package by receiving a signal broadcast from a node within a first node-enabled package prior to sensing a deposit of the first package. The receptacle also detects a second type of package (not a node-enabled package) by sensing a deposit of a second package without receiving a signal broadcast from a node within the second package. The node-enabled logistics receptacle then logs the detections of the first type of package and the second type of package. Then, the node-enabled logistics receptacle notifies another network device within the wireless node network about the logged detection of the first type of package and the second type of package.

A toilet seat package includes a toilet seat, a cover, and a band. The cover encloses the toilet seat. The cover includes a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side, a first slot, and a second slot. The third side is contiguous with the first side and the second side. The fourth side is contiguous with the first side. The fifth side is contiguous with the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side. The sixth side is contiguous with the first side, the second side, the third side, and the fourth side. The first slot extends from the first side through the fifth side. The second slot extends from the second side through the fifth side. An interaction between the band and the toilet seat biases the toilet seat against the sixth side.

Methods and an assembly apparatus are described for operating a node-enabled logistics receptacle in a wireless node network having at least a first node related to an item being shipped. The method generally begins with the node-enabled logistics receptacle detecting a signal broadcast by the first node, such as when a package having the first node approaches the receptacle. The method then associates the node-enabled logistics receptacle with the first node. The method continues with the node-enabled logistics receptacle determining a location of the first node, and then altering a current inventory of nodes related to the node-enabled logistics receptacle based upon the location of the first node, such as when the first node is within a vicinity of the receptacle that is an area sufficiently proximate to the node-enabled logistics receptacle to indicate an item and node within the vicinity intends to be shipped.

Methods and systems for determining an improved location of a node in a wireless node network based on context data are described. A network device, such as a master node or server, accesses a first type of the context data related to a proximate environment of the node being located. The first type of the context data includes signal degradation information for a second node (similar to the first node) in a similar environment to the proximate environment of the first node. Based upon this first type of context data, the network device adjusts a communication distance related to the first node, such as a transmission distance or receiver sensitivity range distance. The network device then determines the improved location of the first node based upon the adjusted communication distance that accounts for signal degradation known to affect the similar second node in the similar environment.
