Abstract: An insulating container having a base insulating structure and lid insulating structure that when closed, enclose an internal storage compartment. The base insulating structure has a base cavity enclosed by a base outer shell structure and a base inner wall structure. The lid insulating structure is pivotally attached to the base insulating structure and has a lid cavity enclosed by a lid outer shell structure and a lid inner wall structure. The base cavity includes a base insulating portion and the lid cavity includes a lid insulating portion. Each of the base insulating portion and the lid insulating portion include at least one vacuum insulated panel.

Abstract: A portable cooler container system is described. The cooler container system includes an insulated container body having a payload chamber, one or more sleeve portions disposed about the payload chamber and a removable base. The system further includes a cooling system including a thermoelectric module, a hot side heat sink a cold side heat sink. The portable cooler container system further includes a conduit extending through the sleeve and configured to flow a cooling fluid through the sleeve.

Abstract: A portable container has a payload chamber for holding medicines, vaccines, biological samples or other medical goods and a lid operable to access the payload chamber. The portable container also has an electronic system with one or more power storage devices, circuitry that wirelessly communicates via a cell radio with a cloud-based data storage system or a remote electronic device, and an electronic display screen. The electronic system can a) automatically switch sender and recipient information on the electronic display screen to facilitate return of the portable container to the sender or b) automatically contact a parcel carrier to alert the parcel carrier that the portable container is ready for pickup.

Abstract: An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The second outer wall can include a second end configured to support the container on a surface. The second outer wall can include a dimple, and the dimple can include a circular base and an inner portion converging to an opening extending into the second outer wall. The opening can be sealed by a resin, and the circular base can be covered by disc formed of the material. The outer wall and the inner wall can be constructed from different materials such that the outer wall is harder and resists indentation, and the inner wall reduces the overall weight of the container.

Abstract: A portable cooler container includes a container body with a payload chamber. The container body has an insulated vessel and a temperature control system that cools the payload chamber.

Abstract: An insulating container having a base and a lid is provided. 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.

Abstract: A cooler container kit is described. The cooler container kit includes a container body having a payload chamber, a lid, an electronic system, and one or more electrical connectors. The cooler kit further includes a conduit extending about the payload chamber. The cooler container kit further includes a temperature control system including a cold side heat sink, hot side heat sink, thermoelectric module, and a pump operable to flow a liquid relative to the cold side heat sink to cool the liquid. The cooler container kit further includes a docking unit.

Abstract: An insulated container assembly and French press assembly can be configured to retain beverages. The French press assembly may be secured to a container for mixing and pouring beverages. The French press assembly may include a lid assembly and the base assembly connected by a connect rod. The lid assembly may include a handle and a lid with the handle connected to a first end of the connect rod and the lid slidably connected to the connect rod. The base assembly may be connected to a second end of the connect rod. The base assembly may include a plunger with a valve and a wiper gasket. The valve may be located on a top side of the plunger and the wiper gasket may be located around a periphery of the plunger.
