Abstract
A storage container having a base storage compartment configured to receive a divider by which the storage compartment is divided into two or more sub-compartments, wherein divider includes a tool configured to provide a secondary utility or function unrelated to dividing the storage compartment.
Claims16
A valve for controlling flow of a fluid, said valve comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- a primary fluid path;
- and
- a septum positioned within an interior of the enclosure, the septum comprising a first configuration at a first fluid pressure within the interior, and a second configuration at a second fluid pressure within the interior,
- wherein the septum comprises an aperture, and wherein the aperture is opened to a first width in the first configuration, and is reduced to a second width in the second configuration, and
- wherein the second width reduces a fluid flow through the aperture.

A valve for controlling flow of a fluid, said valve comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- a primary fluid path;
- and
- a septum positioned within an interior of the enclosure, the septum comprising a first configuration at a first fluid pressure within the interior, and a second configuration at a second fluid pressure within the interior,
- wherein the primary fluid path is unobstructed when the septum is in the first configuration, and obstructed when the septum is in the second configuration, and
- wherein contact between the septum and an interior surface of the enclosure obstructs the primary fluid path.

A valve for controlling flow of a fluid, said valve comprising:
- an enclosure comprising an inlet and an outlet;
- a primary fluid path;
- a septum positioned within an interior of the enclosure, the septum comprising a first configuration at a first fluid pressure within the interior, and a second configuration at a second fluid pressure within the interior;
- and
- a secondary fluid path that is unobstructed by the septum in the second configuration,
- wherein the septum comprises the primary fluid path and the secondary fluid path, and
- wherein the primary fluid path comprises a primary flow rate capacity that is greater than a secondary flow rate capacity of the secondary fluid path.
