Abstract: Systems and methods for a collapsible shipping cooler are described herein. The shipping cooler can be changeable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The shipping cooler can comprise a base, a collapsible insulation assembly positioned partially within the base, a collapsible body coupled to the base, at least one divider configured to couple to the collapsible body, and a lid coupled to the collapsible body opposite the base. The collapsible insulation assembly can comprise a set of insulation walls that are at least partially movable and an inner chamber within the set of insulated walls. The collapsible body can be positioned around a portion of the collapsible insulation assembly when in the expanded configuration. The at least one divider can removably couple to one or more insulated walls of the set of insulated walls of the collapsible insulation assembly when the shipping cooler is in the expanded configuration.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to various aspects of imaging systems, including permeable and impermeable barriers separating liquid compartments, one of which contains the object to be imaged and the other an ultrasonic transducer, a fluidic bearing between a transducer carriage and guide supporting the carriage, a linear motor for the carriage, and a location sensing device for the carriage. A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing an ultrasound scan on a body part and specifically an instrument which directly attaches to the surface of the body. This apparatus provides high resolution images and increased depth of imaging for high resolution ultrasound of targeted subsurface body tissues. Targeted tissues may include joints, ocular structures, and internal organs. The method and apparatus stabilize and provide accurate determination of the position of the body part relative to the ultrasound probe.
