Abstract: A collapsible container according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a base and a plurality of walls, including a first wall, collapsible onto the base. A support is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the first wall, such that an identical container would stack on the collapsible container at a first height when the support is in the first position and at a second height when the support is in the second position. In another embodiment, different stacking heights can be achieved by rotating the upper container 180 degrees relative to the lower container.

Abstract: A bottle carrier includes a base wall and a pair of side walls extending upwardly from side edges of the base wall. Front and rear openings are defined at front and rear ends of the base wall. Upper edges of the side walls may protrude outwardly to form lips. A plurality of bottles may be supported on the base wall between the side walls. A wrap may be wrapped around the bottles and the side walls to retain the bottles in the carrier. The wrap may include a tear strip to facilitate removal of the wrap from the carrier.

Abstract: A crate or container, such as for transporting egg cartons or other items includes a base, opposed side walls and a rear wall extending upward from the base. A front wall opposite the rear wall includes an upper section and a lower section having a pair of rails extending upward therefrom. The upper section is selectably slidable on the rails between an upper, closed position and a lower, retracted, open position. In the retracted position, access to the interior of the crate is provided through the front of the crate.

Abstract: An optically driven microresonator sensor comprising a sensor member having a vibratory bridge onto which a light beam is directed at a non-zero angle relative to a normal to said bridge, the light beam causing the bridge to oscillate at its resonant frequency, in use, in the direction of said normal, between a first position, where most of the incident light is reflected by the bridge to a light intensity measuring system, and a second position, where most of the incident light is not intercepted by said bridge, so that the reflected incident light sensed by said light intensity measuring system is reduced, the resonant frequency of oscillation of the bridge thus determined from said system, being dependent upon the nature of an applied force, such as stress, exerted on the sensor member.

Abstract: A container is provided which includes a base, a pair of opposed side walls, and a pair of opposed end walls which are transverse to the side walls. A support is pivotably mounted to each of the end walls. The support is configured to extend into the container and to fully retract out of the container. The support extends far enough into the container to reliably support another container thereon. The side and end walls may be pivotably connected to the base between an upright position generally perpendicular to the base and a collapsed position on the base.
