The present invention provides an electronic net for security during transportation, whereas the net body of electronic net is knitted with a braided wire which has a conductive wire inside, or even it is formed by multiple subnets and the conductive wires between subnets are connected in series. Both metal ends of conductive wire of the net body are connected to electronic lock. If the conductive wire in the braided wire is disconnected due to the damage of net body, the electronic lock rapidly detect the error. Even though the disconnected conductive wire is reconnected again, the error record in the electronic lock cannot be eliminated. Therefore, once the goods finish the X-ray security check, it is covered with the electronic net and locked to the bottom plate with fixing belt, and then identify it with the strap before transportation. And the staff needs to check the electronic lock if there is any error signal and observe the identifiers of the straps if they are consistent with the record and damaged or not As above to complete the inspection of the security problems in transportation. The process is simple and reduces the security loopholes caused by negligence.

The phase-change accommodating rigid fluid container disclosed herein includes a variety of features that protect the container from phase changes of a fluid stored therein. As a result, the container may be in direct contact with the fluid without any flexible membrane or bag there between. For example, the fluid container may include one or more of matched pairs of recesses for physical manipulation of the container, stiffening ribs extending between the recesses, and input/output assemblies acting as inputs for fluid into the container, outputs of fluid from the container, and vents for pressure equalization of the container.

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers include liners formed from flame retardant or flame suppressant material. Containers with a liner are used to store ignitable items within the storage system.

A pallet container having a thin-walled rigid plastics material inner container, a tubular lattice frame of horizontal and vertical tubular bars as a supporting jacket, and a base pallet on which the plastics-material inner container bears and to which the tubular lattice frame is fixedly connected. The base pallet is configured as a frame pallet having corner feet and central feet and a clearance in the corner feet and the central feet is provided on the base. The clearance is configured such that when stacking two pallet containers the uppermost encircling horizontal tubular bar of the tubular lattice frame of a pallet container stacked therebelow engages or nests in a mutually adapted and form-fitting manner in the clearance. a secure transportation of two stacked pallet containers, a deeper clearance is formed such that it is deeper in the vertical direction than in the horizontal or radial direction.

A pallet container for storing and transporting in particular flammable or easily ignitable liquid filling materials has a composite base plate, a thin-walled rigid internal container made from a thermoplastic plastics material, a tubular lattice frame that as a supporting jacket tightly encloses the plastics-material internal container, and a base pallet on which the plastics-material container bears and to which the tubular lattice frame is fixedly connected. The plastics-material internal container is on all sides enclosed by a fire-protection insulation mat. The composite base pallet is equipped with a heat-resistant support element for maintaining the resistance thereof in the case of heat acting thereon over a comparatively long period at each plastics-material corner foot.

The present invention relates to a shipping container for mitigating external fire risks. The shipping container is configured for shipping lithium ion batteries with a cargo cavity proximate and interior to a second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The second inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an inner thermal paste panel. The inner thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a dead air space panel. The dead air space panel is proximate and interior to a first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer. The first inner flame-retardant corrugated layer is proximate and interior to an outer thermal paste panel. The outer thermal paste panel is proximate and interior to a flame-retardant corrugated carton. The thermal paste panels preferably comprise aluminum flashing containing a mesh matrix for holding flowable thermal paste. The shipping container is lidded by a fitted cap above an air cap above a vacuum plenum cap.

Methods are presented which include moving a self-stabilizing platform assembly with product disposed on a deck of the self-stabilizing platform assembly. The self-stabilizing platform assembly includes multiple torque-generating devices, a stability control system to control operation of the multiple torque-generating devices, and the deck to support the product being moved. The methods also include adjusting, by the stability control system, operation of one or more torque-generating devices of the multiple torque-generating devices to produce during the moving a stabilization torque within the self-stabilizing platform assembly to facilitate stabilizing the self-stabilizing platform assembly and product during moving of the self-stabilizing platform assembly and product.

A secure beverage container may include a body having a first end, a second end opposing the first end, a first longitudinal side extending between the first end and the second end, and a second longitudinal side opposing the first longitudinal side and extending between the first end and the second end, the first end being closed, the second end being open. The body may define a cavity to receive a beverage fluid. The secure beverage container may include a lid to be received by the second end to seal the cavity in the body, and a powered locking device. The secure beverage container may include an access control device coupled to the powered locking device and configured to cause the powered locking device to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state based upon a security token.

A transportation and storage container (20) for fluids having an inner container (22) made of plastic, an outer jacket (31) preferably realized as a lattice made of metal as well as a pallet-like base frame (24) formed for being handled by means of forklifts or similar modes of transportation, and comprising a support base (23) made of sheet metal for supporting the inner container (22) provided with at least one filling neck (45) at an upper side (47) of the inner container (22), wherein an intermediary container (21) receiving the inner container from all sides and made of sheet metal is arranged between the inner container (22) and the outer jacket, said intermediary container (21) comprising a jacket case (25), a container lid (26) connected to the jacket case (25) and a container bottom connected to the jacket case (25), the container bottom being formed by the support base (23) of the base frame (24).

A closure includes: a cap member for engaging a fitment; a handling member wall encircling the cap member; and septa connecting the cap and handling members and providing an interior space between them. The handling member can include an upper rim smaller than its lower rim, and multiple openings, providing structures for allowing air flow into or out of the interior space. The openings and rims are aligned to provide multiple ventilation passageways traveling in: straight, vertical directions; straight, horizontal directions; indirect horizontal directions; or indirect transverse pathways that include vertical and horizontal orientations.

The closure can include a tamper-evident band for indicating the closure has disengaged from the fitment. The band can comprise indentations defining segments that the tamper-evident band can separate into when the closure disengages, and connecting elements that keep the intact tamper-evident band, and its separated segments, connected to the closure.
