Systems and methods are disclosed for sterile delivery of prostheses that protect refined and/or conditioned surface properties and thereby reduce aging of surface properties in prostheses. An example of the system includes a partially custom-shaped holder that also serves as an insertion tool that holds a customized dental prosthesis in a pre-defined position inside a titanium container that is hermetically sealed. Container materials serve as a getter or catalyst with respect to the osseoconductive surface. An example of the method includes laser welding to hermetically seal a metal container as packaging for a prosthesis with a metal foil, and the sterilization of the packaged and sealed prosthesis with dry heat.

The present disclosure relates to a mesh container and a method of making a mesh container that has a first and a second set of opposing side panels, a bottom panel, and a rim directed outwards from the upper edges of the side panels. At least two adjacent sides panels of the container and portion of the rim directed outwardly from the upper edge of the side panels are made from a sheet metal precursor with least one perforated and a stretched portion and unstretched metal portion. The precursor is folded so that the unstretched metal portion joins the two side panels and is bent to form the rim. A notch is cut from the edge of the unstretched metal portion where it is bent at the corner formed by the two side panels.

A container for heating a food product. The container comprises a base layer of material and a liner releasably attached to an inner surface of the base layer. The liner is separable from the base layer after heating the container. The container comprises a bottom panel, and end panel foldably connected to the bottom panel, a side panel foldably connected to the bottom panel, and a corner panel foldably connected to the bottom panel. The corner panel extends between the end panel and the side panel.

A material handling basket is provided comprising a base having two opposing pairs of substantially vertical outer walls. First and second sheet-metal dividers respectively extend between a first and second pair of the opposed vertical outer walls, and have a tab at each opposing end extending toward one of the walls of the first and second pairs of walls. Each of the walls of the first pair of walls has openings for accepting one of the tabs for positioning the first dividers relative to the respective wall; and each of the walls of the second pair of walls has openings for accepting one of the tabs for positioning the second dividers relative to the respective wall. Each of the tabs is rigidly joined to the respective opening to retain the first and second dividers between the first and second pairs of outer walls.

An exemplary storage and transport container as provided can be easily produced, transported and mounted. The storage and transport containers can be designed and configured in such a way that electrostatic charging of the plastic receptacles that are stored therein is prevented as much as possible. The storage and transport container can also be reusable multiple times.

A container for receiving and transporting residual washout concrete or cement from concrete handling apparatus comprising a rectangular top frame member including two lateral top frame members and two transverse top frame members, the top frame members affixed at their distal ends thereby forming the rectangular top frame member, and a rectangular bottom frame member including two lateral bottom frame members and two transverse bottom frame members, the bottom frame members affixed at their distal ends thereby forming the rectangular bottom frame member, wherein the top and bottom frame members are oriented in substantial parallel planes, and including rigid side frame members affixed to both the top frame member and the bottom frame member, thereby maintaining the substantial parallel relationship between the top and bottom frame members, further including side plate members affixed to the side frame members, and a bottom plate member affixed to the bottom frame members, the side and bottom plate members together with the top, bottom, and side frame members forming a concrete or cement tight container.

A basket includes a metal board which is deformed to form four sidewalls. A metal netted plate is connected to respective bottom ends of the four sidewalls to form a substantial cylindrical basket. A space is defined between the four sidewalls and the metal netted plate, and the size of the space is gradually enlarged from the bottom of the basket toward the top of the basket. The basket has four rounded corners and each rounded corner has a non-continuous portion. Each sidewall has an outward folded portion formed on the top end thereof. Multiple clips are connected to the underside of the metal netted plate.

A container for receiving and transporting residual washout concrete or cement from concrete handling apparatus comprising a rectangular top frame member including two lateral top frame members and two transverse top frame members, the top frame members affixed at their distal ends thereby forming the rectangular top frame member, and a rectangular bottom frame member including two lateral bottom frame members and two transverse bottom frame members, the bottom frame members affixed at their distal ends thereby forming the rectangular bottom frame member, wherein the top and bottom frame members are oriented in substantial parallel planes, and including rigid side frame members affixed to both the top frame member and the bottom frame member, thereby maintaining the substantial parallel relationship between the top and bottom frame members, further including side plate members affixed to the side frame members, and a bottom plate member affixed to the bottom frame members, the side and bottom plate members together with the top, bottom, and side frame members forming a concrete or cement tight container.

A storage container for storage of one or more items in a storage and retrieval system containing a track system including first and second sets of horizontal parallel tracks forming a grid pattern having a plurality of grid spaces and stacks of storage containers located beneath the track system, wherein each stack occupies a single grid space. The storage container includes a metallic container body including a base portion formed as a single unitary body and having a container bottom wall and upwardly standing base sidewall and end wall parts to define a tray, and a separate upper portion having upper sidewall and end wall parts upwardly extending from and connected to respective base sidewall and end wall parts to form a box-like structure with an open end for receiving items within the box-like structure.

A protective device that can be used to protect kitchen flooring from being damaged consists of a base section, a backsplash section, and a sidesplash section. The food preparation equipment, such as a deep fryer or pressure fryer, is placed on the base section. The backsplash and the sidesplash are used to attach the device to a wall adjacent to the food preparation area. A tapered portion of the base section allows food preparation equipment to be conveniently placed on the base section and rolled away from the base section when needed. The ability to move the food preparation equipment is beneficial to clean the floor area in which the food preparation equipment is used in and protect the floor area.
