Abstract: The present application provides an integrated solar panel system. The integrated solar panel system may include a heat transfer plate, a solar photovoltaic subsystem positioned in part on the heat transfer plate, and a solar thermal subsystem positioned beneath the heat transfer plate. The solar thermal subsystem may include one or more internal concentrator plates positioned about the heat transfer plate.

Abstract: The present application provides a solar panel system. The solar panel system may include an aluminum outer frame, one or more photovoltaic panels positioned within the aluminum outer frame, and an adjustable support system connected to the aluminum outer frame such that the aluminum outer frame with the one or more photovoltaic panels includes a number of tilt angles.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing container having compliance features in which the container has a bottom panel that defines at least one opening, a top panel that is secured to the bottom panel, and a moveable security member positioned between the bottom and top panels. The top panel provides a perforated access tab that is releasably secured to the bottom panel to form a stop that prevents movement of the security member. The top panel may further provide a perforated cut-out that provides an opening in the top panel to permit the dispensing of articles within the container. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a packaging blank capable of forming a container having indicia and compliance features.

Abstract: A packaging blank capable of forming a container having at least two internal compartments comprises in one embodiment a substantially rectangular bottom panel having opposing first and second side panels, a substantially rectangular top panel connected to the bottom panel by the second side panel, and an internal panel connected to the top panel by a first glue flap, wherein the bottom panel typically includes at least one display window. Upon construction the packaging blank provides a container having multiple internal compartments that may be viewable through a plurality of display windows. A method of packaging a product and an associated article comprises in one embodiment the steps of providing a blank, folding the internal panel over the top panel, positioning the article on the internal panel, folding the bottom panel over the internal panel, and securing the container formed by the blank.

Abstract: A packaging blank capable of forming a sleeve having at least one internal cavity comprises in one embodiment a substantially rectangular bottom panel, a substantially rectangular top panel connected to the bottom panel along a fold line, and a perforated retaining wall formed in the top panel, wherein the top panel includes at least one display window. Upon construction the packaging blank provides a sleeve having at least one internal cavity that is viewable through at least one display window. A method of packaging an article comprises in one embodiment the steps of providing a blank, placing an article to be packaged on the blank, folding the top panel over the bottom panel, and binding the sleeve formed by the blank into a publication.

Abstract: There is provided a package for displaying and mailing media items such as CD's. The package is made from a unitary blank of foldable paperboard and includes a plurality of panels that when the package is formed has a generally rectangular configuration. A second panel and a third panel are foldable under a first panel and a second panel to form the package. Attached to and extending from the first and fourth panels is a pair of pop-up panels abutting each other along a common fold line integral with the first and fourth panels. A semi-circular slit is made in one of the pop-up panels providing a platform for attaching the CD hub thereto. The pop-up display package may also include a tear strip for sealing the package for mailing. In another embodiment a package is formed from a blank having a plurality of panels in a generally rectangular configuration. A first panel is formed and connected along a fold line to a second panel which is in turn formed with and connected along a fold line to a third panel.

Abstract: A display package for a media item includes a base having opposing halves each formed of a pair of spaced apart upper and lower panels hingedly connected together along outer ends of the panels, the upper panels also being hingedly connected together along inner ends thereof. Central portions of the inner ends of the upper panels are spaced apart from each other to define an elongate slot therebetween. The display carrier also includes an upright body portion comprising a first body panel hingedly connected along a first edge thereof to an inner edge of a first one of the lower panels, and a second body panel hingedly connected to the first body panel along a second edge of the first body panel. The second body panel overlies the first body panel and is secured thereto to define a pocket adapted for reception therein of a graphic media item. The body panels extend upwardly through the slot and one of the first and second body panels has a window therein for viewing of the graphic media item.

Abstract: A display package having one or more media items retained therein. The display package is convertible between a collapsed position which is used for shipment and storage of the media item, an open display position for displaying the media item on a generally flat surface, and a compact display position. The display package has a base having opposing halves each formed of a pair of spaced apart upper and lower panels which are hingedly connected together along their respective outer ends. The upper panels also hingedly connected together along their inner ends. Central portions of the inner ends of the upper panels are spaced part from each other to define therebetween an elongate slot.
