Abstract: A plastic container having a sidewall defining a chamber and having a first end and a second end and an opening at the first end into the chamber. A base of the container extends from the sidewall and closes the second end, the base having an outer perimeter portion defining a support structure, an axially inwardly extending perimeter wall spaced radially inwardly from the support structure forming an angle with a horizontal line of greater than about 80°, a centrally disposed pushup section in the shape of an axially inwardly extending truncated cone, and a toroidal-shaped channel circumscribing and connecting the perimeter wall to the pushup section. The toroidal-shaped channel has a surface that is asymmetrical about a central axis of the container when the container is under static pressure conditions.

Abstract: A plastic container having a sidewall defining a chamber and having an opening at one end into the chamber; a base extending from the sidewall and closing the second end, the base having an outer perimeter portion defining a support structure, an axially inwardly extending perimeter wall spaced radially inwardly from the support structure forming an angle with a plane normal to an axis of the container of less than about 90°, and a flexing panel closing an end of the perimeter wall, the flexing panel moveable along an axis of the container from a first position where a central portion of the panel is below a top portion of the perimeter wall to a second position where the central portion is above the top portion of the perimeter wall to change the volume of the container; and a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial grooves on the panel.

Abstract: In the context of social networks, a social network based peer computing system, apparatus and method for a decentralized social network system and decentralized payment system in a peer to peer network environment. Two one way relationships involving a public key/private key pair allow two users of the system to establish a secure online relationship where an object can be sent securely from one user to a second user. A user having more than one device connected to the system can have information updated on one device auto migrate and replicate on remaining connected devices. This same user can also have this updated information auto migrated and replicated onto friend's devices connected to the system. A user may also establish a privacy profile wherein only certain information is auto migrated and replicated on friend's devices.
