A computer system generates information describing authenticity and a grade of a collectible scanned by a scanning device. A feature vector is extracted from the information. The feature vector includes a first set of features and a second set of features. The first set of features is matched to authenticity profiles of collectible items. Each authenticity profile characterizes at least one collectible item across multiple features. A confidence score is generated with respect to the authenticity of the collectible based on the authenticity profiles. The second set of features is matched to grade profiles of the collectible items. A grade score describing the grade of the collectible is generated based on the grade profiles. The grade of the collectible is determined based on the grade score. A graphical representation of the grade and the confidence score is transmitted to a display device.

A holder (10) for a beverage container (100) comprising a receptacle (24) for receiving a beverage container bottom portion (102) of the beverage container (100) and a container retaining element (26) operatively coupled to the receptacle (24) for engaging the container (100) to maintain the container bottom portion (102) in the receptacle (24) when the beverage container (100) is held by the holder (10). The holder (10) is provided with a selectively closed drain (88) to allow outflow of condensation or spillage from the receptacle (24) when the drain (88) is opened.

An ice cream holder includes a lid, a holder, and a cup. The holder that secures a cone-shaped pastry includes a platform, a lateral wall, a central opening, and an intermediate flange. The cup and the lid are oppositely positioned of each other about the holder so that the cone-shaped pastry and the ice cream can be protected. A bottom edge of the lateral wall is perimetrically connected around the platform. The central opening concentrically traversing through the platform thus allowing the cone-shaped pastry to be placed. The intermediate flange is perimetrically connected around a top edge of the lateral wall and perimetrically engaged around a bottom flange of the cup. The cup allows the user to grasp or place the ice cream holder in existing cup holders for transportation. A top flange of the lid is compressionally engaged around the intermediate and bottom flanges, protecting the ice cream.

A device on which to place contact lens case components to dry. The device is a mat with drainage channels formed thereon. The contact lens components are placed on spaced-apart walls that define the drainage channels and the spaced-apart wall receive the contact lens components and hold them above the drainage channels. This arrangement allows liquid solution and residue to drain from the contact lens case components place on the mat. The mat is sloped and the liquid solution flows to a lip on one end of the mat and then off of the mat. The mat has a slightly sloped base to assist in such drainage.

Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (“bagasse”), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.

A reuseable container is provided for storage and transport of prepared meat in log format. The container has a base, a pair of upwardly extending side walls, and a pair of upwardly extending end walls connected with the side walls to form a generally rectangular box. The box has four interior edges and four interior corners where the side and end walls join the base. The box is integrally formed of molded polyethylene. Each of the four interior edges and four interior corners has a rounded interior profile to prevent accumulation of material and facilitate sanitation between uses. A reuseable container system is also provided having a removable lid, and access panel.

A seafood storage and/or transportation container is provided. The seafood container comprises a container, the container having a bottom wall, two side walls and two end walls. The container also comprises at least one channel, the channel having an inlet at the lower portion of the interior of the container, a hollow body that extends upward, and an outlet that communicates with the exterior of the container. The at least one channel assists in removal of water from the lower portion of the container, which will be accompanied by some of the waste product from the stored seafood. When a water source is provided overhead, the container of the present invention allows the stored seafood product to be submerged in water, while also obtaining a substantially complete turnover of water within the container (including waste products). This facilitates the mixing of water in the container by drawing away the possibly contaminated water from near the bottom of the container and pulling down the cleaner, oxygen rich water from near the top of the container. Preferably, there is a lid hingedly attached to the top of the seafood container, having at least one trough that serves to trap water as it passes over the lid. The water is retained in the trough until it enters the inside of the container through a plurality of holes contained therein.

A collapsible container includes a base having a base wall with a plurality of support surfaces separated by a longitudinal drainage channel and a plurality of lateral drainage channels intersecting the longitudinal drainage channel. The drainage channels are lower than the support surfaces. The base wall does not include any openings therethrough, so the drainage channels retain fluid leaking from products or packages in the container. The base may further include a plurality of troughs proximate edges of the base. The plurality of troughs are lower than the drainage channels. Walls are pivotably mounted to the base and are pivotable between an upright position and a collapsed position.

A box for packaging core samples from rock drilling is provided, used in particular in the field of mineral sampling from geological exploration activities for subsequent analysis. The box is defined by a structure formed by a single body produced by injection molding of a thermoplastic material which includes female fittings and male fittings for laterally interlocking the boxes, closing and locking devices for the cover on the box, anatomical transport handles, openings and channels for draining liquid fractions and texturing for identifying the collected samples.
