Appl. No.:

10/384382

Inventors:

John Goodman - Chanhassen MN, US

International Classification:

B65D025/14

US Classification:

220/495060

Abstract:

Improved fuel storage containers adapted for use with fuel cells comprise a rigid outer container associated with a flexible inner container in which a liquid is stored. The outer container generally comprises a port that allows transport of the filled inner container into the outer container. The flexible inner container can comprise a resealable connection that allows the liquid stored within the inner container to be accessed when the fuel storage container is inserted into a suitable fuel cell. Thus, the rigid outer container can be reused.

International Classification:

H04M 1/00
H04N 5/225
G06F 3/048

US Classification:

4555521, 34820711, 715825, 348E05024

Abstract:

Media content and communication services are provided to a user. A schedule of media content and communication services provisioned for the user is received, and an interactive menu is generated including selectable options for each of the provisioned media content and communication services. The interactive menu is stored in a host device associated with the user. The interactive menu is displayed on a display connected to the host device, and the host device receives input signals from a remote control that correspond to selections of the selectable options on the interactive menu. The media content or communication service associated with an option on the interactive menu is initiated when selected with the remote control.

US Classification:

206334

Abstract:

A container and a method of storing semiconductor wafers, wherein a closed container has sealed top and bottom portions of molded plastic material and uniquely adapted for storing semiconductor wafers, the container having, in one of its parts, a gas receiving stem and valve for removing a portion of the gaseous atmosphere within the container as to store the semiconductor wafers in a partial vacuum, one portion of the container may incorporate a thin wall of the molded container comprising a flexible membrane adjacent edges of the semiconductor wafers to be drawn against the wafers and hold them in place within the container; the walls of the closed container being covered with a diamond-like coating; and a method of storing semiconductor wafers by confining the wafers in a multipart container, sealing the container, and modifying the atmosphere within the container as by reducing the gas pressure within the container, changing the gaseous atmosphere in the container by, in some cases, substituting an inert gas for the air within the container, and relieving the vacuum pressure within the container as the container is to be opened, by supplying clean air into the container with minimial particulate.
