An insulated container for a beverage comprises an inner wall defining an opening and a volume, an outer wall surrounding the inner wall and defining a cavity between the inner wall and the outer wall, and one or more heat transfer devices within the cavity and attached to the inner wall, the one or more heat transfer devices spaced from the outer wall and configured to contact the outer wall responsive to exceeding a temperature greater than a predetermined temperature. Related insulated containers and methods are also disclosed.

Insulated containers and related methods

A technique facilitates perforation, including the perforation of a casing and formation. A shaped charge is formed with a case, a liner, and a high explosive material located between the case and the liner. The liner is formed of a powder material, e.g. a powder metal material. The powder material properties of the liner between an apex of the liner and a skirt of the liner may be selectively varied to provide a desired jet velocity and jet mass of the liner upon detonation of the high explosive material.

Shaped charge system having multi-composition liner

A technique facilitates controlled detonation in well environments and other types of environments. Electronics for controlling detonation of a pellet of explosive material are mounted on a structure, such as a circuit board. The pellet is operatively coupled with the electronics and positioned to extend outwardly from the structure. Another explosive component is arranged across the pellet at a predetermined angle, e.g. a right angle, with respect to a longitudinal axis of the pellet. In well applications or other applications utilizing shaped charges, the explosive component may be coupled to the shaped charge via a detonator cord.

Detonator structure and system

A liner for a shaped charge is provided for improved penetration of a target formation. The liner is formed from a combination of high density particulate and low density particulate.
