  • Publication number: 20220242646
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a passive cooling solution that enables delivery of perishable consumables such as food, beverages and/or medicines. In embodiments, a container comprises a first compartment for items to be kept at a freezer temperature, a second compartment for items to be kept at a refrigerator temperature, and a third compartment for items to be kept at an unrefrigerated temperature. A dry ice compartment has a first side panel facing the first compartment, and a second side panel facing the second compartment. The first side panel and second side panel have differing amounts of surface area, creating an asymmetrical cooling profile that promotes freezer temperatures in the first compartment, and refrigerator temperatures in the second compartment. A divider separates the second compartment and the third compartment to promote unrefrigerated temperatures in the third compartment.

  • Patent number: 5225661
    Abstract: A consumable welding element for arc welding comprising a steel sheath surrounding a compacted core containing metal alloying powders and an essentially 100% basic compound in an amount less than about 1.60% of the total weight of said element. The basic compound is calcium fluoride powder which is preferably in the range of about 0.1% to about 0.9% calcium fluoride powder by total weight of the element. As another feature the core of the element contains a specific agent for decreasing the amount of diffusible hydrogen in the weld metal. This new element may be a filler metal for TIG welding; however, it is preferably a consumable electrode for MIG welding.
