Abstract:

A storage container including an outer case having a bottom tray and a cover hinged to it and a tongue assembly in the bottom tray. The tongue assembly can be integrally formed, with the bottom tray and/or the cover or separately formed and subsequently inserted into the bottom tray. When separately formed it can include an outer frame and a tongue extending from the frame side to which it is pivotally attached to the frame center. The tongue has a compact disc retainer mounted thereon for fitting into a center opening of a compact disc and holding the compact disc in the frame center when the tongue is in a "down" position. When the tongue is in an "up" position, pivoted relative to the one frame side, the compact disc is lifted up away from the frame and bottom tray for easy access thereto. The tongue, the frame and the hinge therebetween are preferably integrally formed together and as one unit. According to one embodiment the tongue is formed with a natural upward or raised bias, an elastic memory.

Abstract:

Various cryogenic fluid reporting systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, the system comprises a cart with a base and a load cell. The base can receive and support a cryogenic fluid tank and the weight of the cryogenic fluid tank can be applied to the load cell. The cart can include a transmitter configured to transmit a signal indicative of the weight applied to the load cell. The system can include a receiver configured to receive the signal from the transmitter. The system can include a computing system in communication with the receiver. The computing system can include software configured to correlate the signal indicative of the weight of the cryogenic fluid tank to a fill amount of the tank.
