Abstract: A portable container includes flexible walls defining an interior compartment and a support feature within the interior compartment providing a surface to support an item within the interior compartment, where the item is suspended above a wall. In at least some implementations, one of the walls is a lower wall and the support feature holds the item above the lower wall. In other implementations, a container includes a plurality of walls connectable together to define an interior compartment. At least two separate walls are selectively movable to and from open and closed positions. One movable wall is an upper wall and another movable wall is a wall adjacent to the upper wall. This permits, for example, items to be loaded into and unloaded from the container both through the top and through a front, rear or side wall.

Abstract: In at least some implementations, a heating apparatus includes a first temperature control source having a first substrate and a first heating element that is coupled to the first substrate, and a second temperature control source having a second substrate, and a second heating element that is coupled to the second substrate. The first and second heating elements are coupled electrically in series with one another. The first heating element may be sewn to the first substrate, and the second heating element may be sewn to the second substrate. An electrical circuit may be defined that includes a single current loop, wherein the first and second heating elements are coupled electrically in series with one another using one or more electrical connection segments.
