A secure delivery container can have a body with a chamber that can receive one or more items for delivery to an end recipient and a door actuatable to close the chamber in a locked position and open to allow access to the items. The container can have a heat transfer system with one or more heat transfer elements in thermal communication with one or more surfaces of the body that define the chamber and configured to heat or cool the one or more surfaces to heat or cool the delivery items in the chamber. The container can wirelessly communicate with a remote electronic device to receive information from the remote electronic device and to communicate operational information from the one or more heat transfer elements to the remote electronic device.

The present application is at least directed to a control system to cool cooled objects and to keep cooled objects cool without cooling an entire storage space for cooled objects. The control system includes containers, which hold cooled objects and a TES member to cool the cooled objects. The control system is configured to judge if it is time to replace the TES member based on a combination of cooled objects, stored in the containers to keep cool, and the TES member. The control system also is configured to notify if it is time to replace the TES member based upon the judging step.

A refrigerator includes a door with a transparent display assembly that includes a front panel defining at least a portion of a front surface of the door, a touch sensor disposed on a rear surface of the front panel to recognize touch manipulation, a rear panel defining at least a portion of a rear surface of the door, an insulation coating layer provided on a surface of the rear panel by a metal oxide to block heat from the outside, an outer spacer disposed between the front panel and the rear panel to provide a sealed space between the front panel and the rear panel, a display disposed in the sealed space, a light guide plate spaced apart from the display to brighten up the display, and a spacer supporting the light guide plate and maintaining a distance between the display and the light guide plate.

Beverage coolers for storing and cooling bottled beverages. A beverage cooler may include a cooling chamber cooled by a refrigeration system, and openings in the cooling chamber for receiving bottled beverages to be chilled. The openings may have doors and/or seals to minimize heat exchange between the cooling chamber and the environment with or without bottles disposed in the openings. Each of the openings may have a visual indicator, such as a plurality of LEDs, configured to indicate the temperature of the bottle disposed in the opening.

A transport climate control system is disclosed. The system includes a compressor, a motor-generator-rectifier machine, a belt drive connected to the motor-generator-rectifier machine and the compressor, at least one condenser fan, at least one evaporator fan, and a DC to DC converter. The motor-generator-rectifier machine connects to the at least one condenser fan, the at least one evaporator fan, and the DC to DC converter. The motor-generator-rectifier machine includes a motor, a low voltage generator connected to the motor, and a rectifier connected to the low voltage generator. The motor-generator-rectifier machine can provide a first low voltage DC power to the at least one condenser fan, the at least one evaporator fan, and the DC to DC converter. The DC to DC converter can convert the first low voltage DC power to a second low voltage DC power that is different from the first low voltage DC power.

A general purpose enclosure is provided. A general purpose enclosure for housing an internal unit and providing complete protection against an ingress of dust and water, comprising a first housing and a second housing. A plurality of cooling fins and one or more pressure ports along an exterior surface of the first housing and the second housing. One or more pressure ports comprising a pneumatic valve, pressure sensor cap and a vent membrane such that pressure venting, and pressure testing may be performed by the one or more pressure ports. A method of assembling a general purpose enclosure to an internal unit, comprising applying the first housing and the second housing to the internal unit such that the first housing and the second housing encompass the internal unit and fastening the first housing to the second house.
