Abstract: An apparatus has a communications device associated therewith. In another aspect of the present invention, a pallet is made from thermoformed polymeric sheets with an attached communications device. A further aspect of the present invention provides a radio frequency identification device attached to an apparatus. In still another aspect of the present invention, a communications device is incorporated into one or more sheets of a pallet or other container prior to forming. Methods of making and using a thermoformed pallet and container, having a communications device, are also provided.
Abstract: A fuel tank and method of making the same having three polymeric sheet members arranged in a stacked relationship to define a first volume and a second volume. The first volume being separate from said second volume to provide a number of advantages, such as a barrier to prevent puncture, minimize vapor release, aid in cooling, define a reserve cavity, minimize fluid movement, and the like.
