Abstract: A radio frequency identification (RFID) system can include, for example, a device configured to communicate with a printer and a cloud network. In some examples, the device is separate from the printer. The device can be configured to provide two-way communication with the cloud network and the printer, to receive a request from the cloud network, and to cause the printer to print based on the request.

Abstract: A container including a sidewall having a top and bottom ends, a base attached to or proximate the bottom end defining a cavity bounded by the sidewall and by the base, and the base including at least a first portion having a first thickness and a second portion having a second thickness, such that the second thickness is less than the first thickness. A method for controlling deformation in a container including the steps of manufacturing the container as described above, filling the container with a substance, sealing the container at a top end thereof, inverting the container such that the container rests on its top end, allowing the substance to undergo a volume reduction resulting in a vacuum pressure within the container, wherein when subjected to the vacuum pressure, the base deforms at the second portion due to the second thickness being less than the first thickness.

Abstract: One example embodiment includes a method of licensing a media file. The method includes providing at least two media files and allowing a licensee to choose one of the at least two media files. The method also includes producing a licensing agreement and granting the licensee access to the media file.
