Abstract: An insulated cooler with a submersible internal circulating pump is provided. The insulated cooler includes a base, a plurality of sidewalls extending upwardly therefrom, and an open upper end defining an interior volume. The insulated cooler further includes a lid that is removably secured over the open upper end, wherein the lid includes multiple recessed cup holders with sidewalls that extend downwardly into the interior volume of the insulated cooler. The insulated cooler includes a submersible internal circulating pump operably connected to a system of copper tubing that winds around the sidewall of the recessed cup holders. When activated, the submersible internal circulating pump transports melted ice water through the tubing, which cools the sidewall of the recessed cup holders. In this way, the insulated cooler can cool objects within the interior volume and can cool beverages that are supported within the exterior cup holders.

Abstract: In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides for ethylene-C3 to C20 alpha-olefins random copolymers having an ethylene content of about 45 wt % to about 70 wt % and a Mw(DRI)/Mn(DRI) of from 1.1 to 1.9. In some embodiments, the ethyl-C ene-propylene random copolymer is used as a viscosity modifier in a lubricating composition.

Abstract: The herein disclosed invention pertains to a system for stacking pre-shaped signage components into a multi-level single message configuration. The signage components have vertical flutes alignable with vertical flutes in a contiguous signage component, and the signage components also have markings to facilitate alignment with the contiguous signage component. Connecting elements fit into the vertical flutes in contiguous vertical signage components to secure the signage components together. This allows the contiguous vertical signage components to align, thereby creating an image of the multi-level message.
