Abstract: A recyclable corrugated board can include a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and a non-wicking medium attached to and disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The non-wicking medium is not impregnated and is not coated. The non-wicking medium can be corrugated paper, for example.

Abstract: A blank for forming an insulated carton including a front panel hingedly attached to a first side panel, the first side panel hingedly attached to a rear panel, the rear panel hingedly attached to a second side panel along a longitudinal axis of a blank, wherein each panel includes a central portion disposed between and hingedly attached to at least one flap arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis an end tab hingedly attached to the central portion of the second side panel, wherein the blank defines an interior space of a carton when folded along each hinged attachment and at least one surface of the blank includes a reflective barrier which has a higher thermal radiation reflectance than an under-lying layer for energy-insulating the interior space of the carton.

Abstract: A thermal regulating device can include an insulated envelope configured to contain a thermal element therein to reduce thermal transfer between the thermal element and the atmosphere. The insulated envelope can include a condensation barrier configured to block formation of condensation or to absorb condensation. The insulated envelope can include an outer liner and an insulating material disposed within the outer liner.

Abstract: A drawn and ironed can having a generally cylindrical side wall and an integral bottom including two annular rims is provided. The bottom of the can has a reduced volume configuration, wherein the upright can rests on an outer annular rim known as the heel, and an expanded volume configuration, wherein the upright can rests on an inner annular rim known as the nose. When a can in the reduced volume configuration is subject to an elevated internal pressure substantially less than the maximum working pressure, a portion of the can bottom comprising the nose moves axially downwardly relative to the rest of the can to serve as a new base, thus transitioning the can into the expanded volume configuration.

Abstract: A metal container for holding fluids is provided having a bottom wall including a externally convex dome portion and a plurality of supporting feet formed therein. The supporting feet are circumferentially spaced apart from each other and projected generally downward beyond the dome portion. Each supporting foot has formed thereon stand features and stacking features. The stand features are radially spaced from the longitudinal axis of the container and disposed at downwardmost locations on the feet to alone support the container in an upright position on a flat horizontal surface when the container is not internally pressurized. The stacking features are disposed adjacent to the stand features and define, in cross-sectional elevation view, axial stacking surfaces and radial stacking surfaces.
