Abstract: A 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 assemblies. The latching assembly may comprise a latch body, a locking member, a biasing member, and an activating member. Additional features of the container may include handles and strength increasing features. The base and lid may also feature attachment points for various accessories. A carry strap may attach to the base of the container to allow a user to lift and carry the container. The container may also have a wheels attached to the bottom portion and/or across the bottom portion to one side of the sidewall structure. In addition, in exemplary containers with wheels, a pull handle may be attached to a side opposite the wheels. The lid may include a lid support member that can act as a molle board to releasably secure items to the lid support member while also providing structural support to the lid.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. For example, a controller of a dispenser may determine usage data of the dispenser. In association with a replenishment event in which a second refill component mounted to the dispenser is replaced by a first refill component, the controller may (i) determine a next replenishment time of the dispenser based upon the usage data, and/or (ii) transmit an indication of the next replenishment time to a first tag of the first refill component.

Abstract: The invention includes a system for assembling greeting cards using online computer software and a printer. Personalized, affordable greeting cards can be sent using the greeting card system of the invention. The greeting card may be made with slits inside, in order to place an insert, which has personalized content selected online and printed by a user's printer and then separated and placed into each slit. Users can buy greeting cards with slits and greeting card inserts in bulk with the online system of the present invention. Using an online computer system, cards can be personalized with the greeting cards' verse, and for each occasion. Buying greeting cards using the described system allows the consumer to save time and money. The greeting cards with slits can come in an infinite amount of designs and be used interchangeably for different occasions. Reminders may be emailed for holidays and personal special occasions.

Abstract: A tray (201) comprises electrically conductive material and has at least one hand-graspable fixture (203). This hand-graspable fixture comprises an electrical conductor (301) disposed in a location that is likely to be operably interacted with by a human who grasps the hand-graspable fixture. A capacitively-coupled RFID tag is then disposed on the hand-graspable fixture with a first antenna plate (303) being electrically coupled to the tray and a second antenna plate (304) that electrically couples to the electrical conductor. A corresponding tray receiving compartment (400) has a front lip (401) over which the tray must pass and upon which the tray will rest when properly disposed within the tray receiving compartment. One or more capacitively-coupled RFID tag reader antennas (402) are disposed proximal to the front lip. These antennas may be positioned to facilitate reading the capacitively-coupled RFID tag when the tray is properly disposed within the tray receiving compartment.

Abstract: A method of controlling the material properties of a tubular member including positioning a pressure source within the tubular member; and operating the pressure source to generate a pressure cycle signal.

Abstract: A tubular apparatus and method, according to which a first tubular member is adapted to be lowered into a well bore and a second tubular member is connected to the first tubular member. A third tubular member is normally connected to the first tubular member and disconnected from the second tubular member, and is adapted for movement relative to the first and second tubular members to disconnect from the first tubular member and connect to the second tubular member.
