A sealing device generally includes a rotatable support cylinder having an outer, circumferential surface and a heating element disposed about such surface and secured thereto such that the heating element rotates therewith. The heating element is coiled about the outer surface of the cylinder in the form of an overlapping helical pattern. Juxtaposed film plies may be sealed together by bringing the sealing device into rotational contact with the juxtaposed film plies and heating the heating element to a temperature sufficient to cause the film plies to seal together.

A self-locating structural packaging element, including an elongate portion of material extending, along a longitudinal axis, from a first terminal end to a second terminal end; a vertex, defined along the longitudinal axis, from the first terminal end to the second terminal end; a first packaging element leg, extending laterally from the vertex to a distal end, the first packaging element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves, each of the alternating ridges and grooves of the first packaging element leg extending along the longitudinal axis; a second packaging element leg, extending laterally from the vertex to a proximal end, the second packaging element leg having one or more alternating ridges and grooves, each of the alternating ridges and grooves of the second packaging element leg extending along the longitudinal axis; and an alignment extension portion formed in a portion of the first packaging element leg.

The invention relates to a method for transporting a filter module (10) comprising an elongate and tubular housing (12) and at least one flat filter segment (26) arranged in the housing (12), said method comprising the following steps: a. arranging the filter module (10) in a transport container (44); and b. orienting the filter module (10) in the transport container (44) such that a plane of the filter segment (26) is arranged at least approximately vertically in the normal transport position of the transport container (44).

An inflatable web is disclosed. The web includes a first film and second film ply sealed together via a plurality of generally transverse seals. The transverse seals define first and second inflatable chambers. The inflatable chambers are inflatable with, and contain, a fluid. The web defines a separation region extending at least partially between the first and second inflatable chambers in a substantially transverse direction across the web and configured to facilitate separation of the first and second inflatable chambers. The separation region includes a tear initiation feature that facilitates tearing of the web to separate the first and second inflatable chambers. The separation region includes a tear propagation line at least partially longitudinally offset from the tear initiation feature, and close enough to the tear initiation feature that force imparted to the web via the tear initiation feature will tear of the web through the tear propagation line.

Wafer cushions for use in wafer carriers include spring beams that include a first arm extending from the frame of the wafer cushion in a first direction and a second arm extending from the first arm in a second direction, and a wafer contact at the end of the second arm opposite where the second arm is joined to the first arm. The wafer cushion may contact a substrate within the wafer carrier only at the wafer contacts during normal conditions. The substrate may also contact secondary contact points on the second arm when a shock event occurs. The wafer contact can be v-groove style wafer contact. The wafer contact may include a contact surface having a convex surface where it is configured to contact the wafer.

A cover glass tray including a body portion having a lower surface, a first guide portion disposed on the lower surface of the body portion, a second guide portion spaced apart from the first guide portion, and a support portion disposed between the first guide portion and the second guide portion, and having one surface extending in a first direction, in which the first guide portion includes a first protrusion extending in the first direction and a first bent portion bent from one end of the first protrusion in a second direction different from the first direction, and the second guide portion includes a second protrusion extending in the first direction and a second bent portion bent from one end of the second protrusion in the second direction.

A packaging system for an appliance is provided. The packaging system includes a base pad for supporting an appliance. In preferred embodiments, the system includes pockets for supporting corner posts, and/or corner supports for aiding in the placement and stability of the appliance for use in packaging, stacking, and transporting the appliance.

Information handling system packaging is formed from extruded polyethylene cut to length, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or high density polyethylene (HDPE), to define an interior coupling region that fits over the information handling system housing and an outer support region that forms an ellipse compressed by a container that accepts the information handling system housing. An opening seam formed along the entire length of the outer support region provides for deflection of the packaging to absorb acceleration forces generated by the information handling system.

A portable insulated container includes an outer shell and a temperature control pack. The portable insulated container also includes a first insert portion that fits inside the outer shell and a second insert portion that also fits inside the outer shell and is configured to engage with the first insert portion to form a plurality of insulated cavities including a temperature control pack cavity along with three or more separate bottle storage cavities. Each of the three or more bottle storage cavities is configured for receiving a bottle and each of the three or more bottle storage cavities is configured for receiving bottles of different sizes and shapes. Each of the three or more bottle storage cavities may also be equidistant from the temperature control pack cavity.
