The lid may be rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration and may be secured, via one or more latching devices, in the closed configuration. In some examples, the insulating container further includes a pull handle assembly with a telescopic three-stage arm configuration defined by a stowed configuration, a partially extended configuration, and a fully extended configuration. In other examples, the insulating container further includes a wheel assembly with a pair of wheels mounted with one or two axles, and further including a wheel grommet for absorbing shock and cushioning the axle. In still other examples, the insulating container further includes a drain plug assembly on the rear sidewall adjacent to the bottom portion of the base, the drain plug assembly comprising a main tube that cooperatively engages with an outer tube with a plurality of ratchet teeth that engage one or more ratchet keys on the main tube.

Abstract: A method for operating a multi-beam particle microscope which operates using a plurality of individual charged particle beams, wherein the method includes the following steps: measuring the beam current; determining a deviation of the measured beam current from a nominal beam current; decomposing the determined deviation into a drift component and into a high-frequency component; and controlling the high-frequency component of the beam current via a first closed-loop beam current control mechanism and/or compensating an effect of the high-frequency component on a recording quality of the multi-beam particle microscope using different mechanism than a closed-loop beam current control mechanism. An electrostatic control lens arranged in the beam generating system between extractor and anode can be used as first closed-loop beam current control mechanism. Adapting an extractor voltage of the beam generating system can be avoided.

Abstract: PTA catheters and improved PTA methods address problems associated with PTA procedures. One or more stabilizers are activated to hold or fix the PTA catheter at a desired relative position within a support catheter. Timely activation of the stabilizers can prevent deformation of the PTA apparatus during manipulation of the PTA apparatus within biological vessels.

Abstract: A gaming machine assembly comprises a cabinet, an upper display, a winch, and a lower display. The cabinet includes a lower support and an upper support that is hinged to the lower support and rotatable relative to the lower support between a lower position and an upper position. The upper support overlaps the lower support when in the lower position and is disposed above the lower support when in the upper position. The upper display is initially mounted onto the lower support while the upper support is in the upper position. The winch extends between the lower support and the upper support and is connected to the mounted upper display to lift the upper display from the lower support to the upper support. The lower display is mounted onto the lower support after the upper display is lifted from the lower support to the upper support.

Abstract: A vibration damper may include a damper tube and a damper piston disposed in the damper tube so as to be reciprocatingly movable. The damper tube may be connected to a piston rod extending out of the damper tube, and the damper piston may movably separate a first oil-filled damper chamber on a piston rod side from a second oil-filled damper chamber remote from the piston rod. A bottom element at one end of the damper tube seals the end of the damper tube. The bottom element may protrude into the end of the damper tube and thereby reduce oil volume of the second damper chamber.
