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: An accessory for use with a portable container includes a jacket configured to extend around at least a portion of the sidewall of the container, the jacket including a plurality of modular sections formed separately and connected together around the at least a portion of the sidewall of the container. The modular sections include a first modular section having extending around a first portion of the sidewall of the container, a second modular section connected to the first modular section and extending around a second portion of the sidewall of the container, and at least one additional modular section extending around a third portion of the sidewall of the container. The first and second modular sections have different structural configurations. The accessory also includes a first connection member connected to the jacket and configured to support the jacket in connection with the container.

Abstract: A method for restoring the sensitivity of antibiotic resistant bacteria to antibiotics and a method for reducing the expression of hilA gene in animals. In particular, the method includes the step of introducing a fermented product into the diet of an animal. Certain components of the fermented product interact with the bacteria within the animal such that the method produces the beneficial effects of reducing the expression of the hilA gene and also restores the sensitivity of antibiotic resistant bacteria to antibiotics.

Abstract: Arbutin-containing compositions are useful for topical application to provide enhanced luminosity, brightening or lightening to the skin of a user and are at least 85% as efficacious (with regard to skin lightening, when used alone or in a system as measured by Chromameter® b* parameter values) as substantially corresponding compositions containing hydroquinone in an mount from about the same molar amount to about 1.5 times the molar amount of arbutin.

Abstract: A mechanism for increasing resistance to Enterobacteriaceae infection is described. Additionally genetic markers for identifying traits associated with resistance to Enterobacteriaceae are also described. Thus the invention provides methods and compositions for the production of animals which exhibit increased resistance to Enterobacteriaceae infection. The invention further provides methods and compositions for marker assisted breeding to identify animals resistant to Enterobacteriaceae infection. The invention allows for cattle production with lower susceptibility to Enterobacteriaceae infection.

Abstract: A system and method operable to provide a closed loop accounts payable network with end-user rate-adjustment options. The system and method for a closed loop accounts payable network for commercial card payments allows for setting one or more payment terms using the system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for prefunded accounts are disclosed, which feature controlled credit limits on cards at the time of prefunding validation, creation of files that are electronically passed to a funding source, and implementation of a single use account. Various types of funding mechanisms can be utilized, including, ACH, wire transfer, or traditional check-based systems. According to the invention, an invoice that names a buying organization can be received by an entity offering prefunded account solutions. This can result in payment instructions being generated and funds being transferred from the organization to a funding entity. Once approval of a payment is received, a funded account can be created by transferring funding information by the solutions provider on behalf of the funding entity to a payment facilitator. When the seller generates account charge instructions, funds can be transferred from the payment facilitator to the seller.
