Abstract: The present invention is generally applicable to a container. More specifically, the invention is applicable to a waste container for the collection, storage and transport of waste and refuse material. The waste containers of the present invention are particularly useful for the collection, storage and transporting of organic waste material.

Abstract: A package for receiving a vial may include an inner portion folded into a first shape configured to receive the vial; an outer portion folded into a second shape configured to removably receive the first shape of the inner portion; and an identifying mark or label disposed on the inner portion and viewable when the inner portion is disposed within the outer portion. The inner portion may include top, bottom, and first and second side portions that define a first aperture configured to receive the vial, and a top flap securable to the top or first or second side portions so as to retain the vial within the first aperture. A second aperture defined in the top flap may permit access to contents of the vial without removing the vial from the inner portion, e.g., may have a diameter selected to permit the vial top to protrude therethrough.

Abstract: Method and system embodiments create unique signatures based on the unique layouts of user-readable text and graphics on a variable information document. The embodiments create, or are supplied with, a variable information document comprising a storyline of user-readable text and graphics and use a heuristic to create the unique signature for the variable information document, without adding markings to the variable information document. The unique arrangement of at least a portion of the user-readable text and graphics actually comprises the unique signature of the variable information document. The method prints the text and graphics in the unique arrangement as a printed document and can later scan at least a portion of the printed document to identify the unique signature.
