A bottle includes a secure sealing mechanism. A bottle cap screwed onto a bottle maintains the contents of the bottle. This is achieved by securing a dispensing mechanism in a closed, locked position and sealing an outlet so that any liquids being forced into a dispensing passageway are prevented from passing through the passageway.

Packaging with a locking mechanism is provided, such as for finished goods packaging, such that a lid and base box may be secured together in a closed configuration. An interlocking ripcord mechanical lock may include a slot and tab style ripcord that is integrated into the packaging. As an example, packaging using corrugated material may utilize the corrugated material thickness to lock the tab record inside an opening such as a slot, such that the base box is retained and coupled to the lid, thereby preventing the base box from sliding out from the lid if a user except packaging by the lid. Once the ripcord is removed, is removed, the mechanical lock is thereby released from the base and lid, allowing the customer to open the packaging.

An unmanned handling unit for a reconfigurable decentralized shipping system operates whereby a shipper first selects a freight container module of one of a plurality of sizes to pack at least one item, and then ships it to a predetermined target; the shipper inputs shipping information to the shipping system; when the shipper and/or the predetermined target modifies the shipping information, delivery is modified in real time. The reconfigurable decentralized shipping system includes a plurality of transport means operating in respective operating areas and configured with at least one unmanned handling unit, each of the operating areas including a plurality of freight terminal staging points and at least intersected with at least another one of the operating areas; the unmanned handling unit includes: a chassis including a load carrier having at least two wheels for bearing the freight terminal, and a plurality of action actuation means respectively for driving the wheels; a retractable assisted platform that is retractable relative to the chassis, the retractable assisted platform including a corpus provided with a group of transfer means for transferring the freight terminal a corpus and a group of freight container module pickup and delivery means, and a retractable driving means configured to drive the corpus.

A storage container can include at least one movement sensor in or on a frame of the storage container and at least one movement sensor in or on a door of the storage container. A processor can compare outputs of the movement sensors to determine whether the door is open.

This disclosure relates generally to a smart closure for any container that has lock/unlock features, and can be accessed using keypad or biometrics, also including RFID, Bluetooth, or wireless control and communication. This can also include monitoring solutions, with data logging. For example, time of access, temperature, weight, or other environmental conditions. The closure and container assembly present a positive lock mechanism designed to provide an affirmative indication that full closure has been attained.
