Abstract: A pallet top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks. Each support block includes an inner wall surrounding an interior opening, an outer wall surrounding the inner wall, and a plurality of ribs extending between the inner and outer walls. First and second upper tabs extend outwards from upper surfaces of the inner wall, with each upper tab comprising an angled contact surface for engaging the top deck. The angled contact surfaces of the first and second upper tabs are oriented in a first direction. First and second lower tabs extend outwards from lower surfaces of the ribs, with each tab comprising an angled contact surface for engaging the bottom deck. The angled contact surfaces of the first and second lower tabs are oriented in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

Abstract: A container for fluid, including a container housing, a button atop the container housing, an overcap at least partially enclosing the button, the overcap having an orifice to allow flow of the fluid and an aperture for facilitating actuation of the button, the overcap further having a projecting member, and a fitting member disposed at least partially circumferentially about the container.

Abstract: A pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks and forming an opening therebetween for receiving a lifting member. The top deck includes at least one deck scoop area on an underside thereof. A thickness of the top deck is reduced in the at least one deck scoop area to reduce influence of top deck deflection on ability of the lifting member to pass through the opening between the top and bottom decks.

Abstract: A pallet includes a top deck having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface. The top deck includes grommet openings extending therethrough, and grommets are inserted into the grommet openings. Each grommet includes an upper section having an outer exposed surface extending above the upper surface of the top deck, and at least one lower section having an outer exposed surface extending below the lower surface of the top deck.

Abstract: A pallet includes a top deck, a bottom deck, and spaced apart support blocks coupled between the top and bottom decks. The top deck has grommet openings extending therethrough, with each grommet opening including a recessed shelf. Grommets are inserted into respective grommet openings. Each grommet includes an upper section comprising a lower lip resting on the recessed shelf, and an outer exposed surface of the upper section extending in height above the top deck. At least one mid-section is adjacent the lower lip and extends from the upper section to an underside of the top deck. At least one lower section extends from the at least one mid-section, and includes a pair of spaced apart lips resting on the underside of the top deck. An outer exposed surface of the at least one lower section extends in height below the underside of the top deck.

Abstract: According to one aspect, a fluid dispensing device comprises a housing and a fluid moving device associated with the housing. The housing includes an interior surface defining a passage extending at least between an emission end and at least one aperture configured to facilitate entry of a fluid into the passage. The housing further includes a mounting apparatus adjacent the aperture and adapted to receive a fluid source. The fluid moving device is operable to develop air flow in the passage, wherein the aperture is disposed downstream of the fluid moving device and upstream of the emission end.

Abstract: A container for storing a biological sample is disclosed. The container includes a first chamber having a sidewall extending between an open end and a closed end, defining a first chamber interior adapted to receive a sample holder therein. The container also includes a second chamber having a sidewall extending between an open end and a closed end, defining a second chamber interior adapted to subsequently receive the sample holder therein. The second chamber interior is in fluid isolation from the first chamber interior. A removable closure encloses at least one of the open end of the first chamber and the open end of the second chamber while the sample holder is disposed within one of the first chamber interior and the second chamber interior. A first fluid may be disposed within the first chamber interior, and a second different fluid may be disposed within the second chamber interior.
