For example, this document provides devices and methods for monitoring the temperature of blood in phlebotomy tubes. In some embodiments of the devices and methods, the temperature of the contents of the medical reservoirs are regulated, modulated, and/or maintained by the devices provided herein.

An impact-resistant portable container protector used during transportation of a liquid, wherein the portable container protector is capable of heating or cooling a liquid within the container during transportation in an automobile or other mobile vehicle. The heating is typically achieved using an electrically-powered heating jacket, or cooling is achieved using a removable cooling packet which may be placed within the impact-resistant portable container protector. Heat transfer from the heating jacket or cooling packet may be improved by use of an agitator which may be present within the container. The agitator may be turned by a magnetic coupling. Power to operate the heating jacket and the agitator, when present, is supplied by a battery which is internal to the portable container protector. Additional power may be supplied to the battery using an external power feed such as a USB type connection or other connection of the kind typically present in an automobile or other motor vehicle.

A baby's feeding bottle warmer comprising a bottle, a cylindrical enclosure provided with a clear sidewall with the sealed bottom end and an opening at the top, covered with the cap, capable of heating its contents at a certain constant temperature. The bottle also having a heating element embedded at the bottom end of the bottle, provided for effective heat distribution and accurate control of the temperature throughout the contents of a baby bottle. It is operated by the electrical power source and/or a battery.

An apparatus, comprising an environmental control element configured to control at least one environmental condition of a substance contained within a chamber, the environmental control element includes a thermal insulator configured to provide a thermal shield to the substance and a phase change material (PCM) configured to thermally regulate at least one environmental condition. The environmental control element is configured to control the environmental condition without use of an external power source, thereby allowing the apparatus to be thermally self-recharging.

A liquid storage container to heat a certain volume of liquid. The liquid storage container includes a top cover, a middle layer, and a bottom part. The connection between the top cover and the bottom part is configured to be fully detachable. The top cover has at least a partial platform. The middle layer has a stopping element and a sealing element. The stopping element and a part of the sealing element are configured to connect to the bottom part and form a seal. A part of the sealing element is further configured to come into contact with and seal against the platform of the top cover. Together, they form a chamber to accommodate a certain volume of liquid. The bottom part has a heating plate to conduct heat.

A system includes a warming base including a body having a top surface, a recess formed in the top surface, and an induction coil positioned within the body below the recess; a fluid container having an opening; and a lid including a lid body and a conductive heat plate positioned within the lid body, wherein the lid is configured to be removably attached to the opening to close the fluid container, wherein the lid body has a size and shape that are complementary to the recess of the warming base, so as to allow lid to mate with the recess to position the conductive heat plate a suitable distance from the induction coil such that, when a current is applied to the induction coil, a magnetic field generated by the induction coil causes the conductive heat plate to heat, thereby heating contents of the fluid container.

The invention relates to a device (22) for sealing capsules (10). Each capsule has a capsule shell which is made of a first shell part and a second shell part, said shell parts being provided with a banding liquid in a connection region. The device has a heat source (30) for drying the banding liquid, and the device has at least one diaphragm (32) which is arranged in a radiation region of the heat source between the heat source and the capsules, wherein the diaphragm has at least one passage region for the passage of radiation of the heat source and for irradiating the connection regions of the capsules, and the diaphragm has at least one shielding region which shields sub-regions of the capsules which are offset to the connection region against radiation of the heat source.

An oxygen-activated heat releasing enclosure includes an insulated shell with at least a first cutout portion, a second cutout portion, and a sealable opening that opens to a cavity of the oxygen-activated heat releasing enclosure. A transparent window, disposed within the first cutout portion, allows contents within the cavity to be visible from outside of the cavity. A heat releasing member, disposed within the second cutout portion, includes a powder chamber containing an oxygen-activated heat releasing powder. The powder chamber is formed by (i) an oxygen permeable membrane that allows oxygen to pass through the oxygen permeable membrane into the powder chamber and (ii) a thermally conductive membrane disposed between the oxygen permeable membrane and the transparent window. The oxygen-activated heat releasing enclosure also includes a sealing strip for sealing the sealable opening.
