A thermal protection system includes a housing, an interior cavity, and a thermal barrier within the housing. The thermal barrier includes a compartment containing an insulating medium, and is disposed around at least a part of the interior cavity to maintain a temperature of the interior cavity within a first temperature range. A pressure relief valve arranged at least partially within the housing is in fluid communication with the insulated compartment and permits a fluid, such as air, within the compartment to pass to the environment outside of the compartment when a fluid pressure within the compartment exceeds a predetermined pressure. The compartment is sealed from the environment except for the fluid communication via the pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve is coupled to a thermally-protected mounting within the housing that maintains a temperature of an operative portion of the pressure relief valve within a second temperature range.

Systems and methods are presented for monitoring shipping containers. A system comprises a shipping container, a sensing component, and a transmission device. The shipping container defines an interior compartment. The sensing component is positioned within the interior compartment and comprises one or more sensors, a sensing component battery, a sensing component microcontroller, and a communication chip. The one or more sensors sense atmospheric data. The sensing component microcontroller has a memory and receives the atmospheric data sensed by the one or more sensors at a predetermined interval and stores the atmospheric data in the memory. The transmission device is external to the interior compartment and comprises a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver receives data transmitted by the sensing component. The transmitter transmits the received data to a storage location. The transmission device is paired with the sensing component or an interior component contained within the interior compartment.

A data measurement system (10) includes a plurality of measurement apparatuses (130), a signal transmitter (110), and a data processing apparatus (150). The signal transmitter (110) transmits a trigger signal to the plurality of measurement apparatuses (130). The data processing apparatus (150) obtains from each of the plurality of measurement apparatuses (130), measurement data measured during a period between a start signal corresponding to the trigger signal transmitted at first time and an end signal corresponding to the trigger signal transmitted at second time later than the first time. The data processing apparatus (150) temporally aligns start signals in the obtained data with each other and aligns end signals in the obtained data with each other, and presents the measurement data from the plurality of measurement apparatuses (130) to a user.
