Abstract: A reusable mailer includes a carrying volume having a top opening configured to receive a package therein, the carrying volume defined by an outer and inner peripheral surfaces, the inner peripheral surface covered by a plush material. Protective tape having a first portion is configured to removably adhere to a rear portion of the outer surface and is configured to extend across the top opening and a second portion is configured to removably adhere to a front portion of the outer surface to close the carrying volume and configure the carrying volume for mailing purposes. After mailing, the protective tape is selectively removable from the front and rear surfaces to expose the package. Once the package is removed from the carrying volume, the carrying volume is selectively inverted to transition and expose the plush material on the inner peripheral surface.

Abstract: A reusable mailer includes an outer peripheral surface defining a carrying volume, the outer peripheral surface of the carrying volume made from a first material and an inner peripheral surface covered by a second material. The carrying volume is configured to: receive an item therein; close about the item for mailing purposes; selectively invert to expose the second material on the outer peripheral surface; and define a new interior carrying volume therein. A central bottom portion of the new interior carrying volume is selectively manipulated to re-form the new interior carrying volume to a U-shaped configuration. A locking mechanism is disposed on either the mailer and is configured to selectively lock the new interior carrying volume in the U-shaped configuration to form a neck pillow.

Abstract: A reusable mailer convertible into a backpack includes a carrying volume defining a top opening configured to receive a package therein. A storage compartment is defined in the carrying volume and receives a secondary item. A drawstring is configured to close the top opening when cinched. Protective tape includes a first portion configured to removably adhere to a rear portion of the carrying volume and a second portion configured to extend across the top opening and removably adhere to a front portion of the carrying volume to configure the carrying volume for mailing. The protective tape, after mailing, is removed and the drawstring is uncinched to expose the package within the carrying volume and the secondary item in the storage compartment to a mail recipient. Opposite ends of the drawstring are reorientable into loops defined on opposing sides of the carrying volume thereby transforming the carrying volume into a backpack.

Abstract: A reusable mailer which can be converted into a lunch cooler after mailing includes a top panel, opposing pairs of side panels, and a bottom panel defining a carrying volume configured to receive a package therein. The top panel is moveable to expose the carrying volume and an interior surface of one of the panels includes a storage compartment configured to receive an secondary item. Protective tape includes a first portion configured to removably adhere to the top panel and an additional portion configured to extend across and removably adhere to a side panel to secure the top panel atop the carrying volume for mailing. After mailing, the protective tape is removed to expose the package within the carrying volume and the secondary item in the storage compartment to a mail recipient.

Abstract: A transformable shipping bag includes a front panel and a rear panel that each are formed with a substantially planar sheet of material bounded by an outer circumferential edge, a binding that binds a contiguous first portion of the outer circumferential edges of the front and rear panels to realize an inner volume, said binding resulting in an opening embodying a second portion of the outer circumferential edges, the opening allowing access to the inner volume and a handle configured to be stored within the inner volume while the transformable shipping bag is deployed as a shipping bag, and configured to be detachably attached to the binded front and rear panels of the transformable shipping bag, when the transformable shipping bag is to be deployed as a carry bag or backpack.

Abstract: A system and method to provide a sentiment measurement system with automatic ad placement to collect surveys of voters is described. This enables a candidate to rapidly and easily measure voter sentiment at scale, quickly and cost-effectively while addressing technical limitations that normally prevent accurate use of traditional internet ad platforms for such purposes. Existing ad targeting is not designed for providing representative samples, thus the system can automatically target ads and regularly adjust based on incoming poll responses to ensure representative data is received. The system and method applies to other sentiment measurement, e.g. general opinion polling. Further, the system and method combines online micro-targeting with dynamic bias correction to produce appropriate sample groups.
