The present invention is a method by which a reusable, refillable pressurized container used in consumer refillable packaging can be certified in a manner akin to single use containers. The certification calls for each receptacle to pass certain quality assurance measures, including automated testing and examination (100% receptacle testing and examination). In an exemplary case, the materials (fluids) in these receptacles will be for personal care or household use and will be non-regulated non-hazardous non-flammable non-corrosive materials (fluids), although the invention will not necessarily be so limited. The gases in these receptacles are preferably non-flammable compressed gases (compressed air or nitrogen) commercially free from corroding components.

A liquefied gas storage tank includes: an inner shell storing a liquefied gas; an outer shell forming a vacuum space between the inner shell and the outer shell; and a fail-safe thermal insulating layer covering an outer side surface of the outer shell. According to this configuration, the fail-safe thermal insulating layer is not disposed in the vacuum space. This makes it possible to suppress the degradation over time of the degree of vacuum in the vacuum space.

A method for checking the sealing of a sealed tank for storing a liquefied gas at low temperature, the tank having an inner hull and a secondary sealing membrane, a secondary space that is arranged between the inner hull and the secondary sealing membrane, a primary sealing membrane and a primary space that is arranged between the primary sealing membrane and the secondary sealing membrane is disclosed. The method has the following main steps: generating a pressure lower than the pressure of the primary space in the secondary space using a suction device, measuring the temperature of an outer surface of the inner hull, and detecting the location of a sealing defect of the secondary sealing membrane in the form of a cold spot on the outer surface of the inner hull.

A charge station is provided for filling a gas cylinder with gas. The charge station includes a gas output port configured to be fluidly connected to a supply of gas. The gas output port is configured to be fluidly connected to the gas cylinder for filling the gas cylinder with gas from the supply of gas. The charge station also includes a control system operatively connected to the gas output such that the control system is configured to control filling of the gas cylinder, and a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader operatively connected to the control system, the RFID reader configured to read data from an RFID tag on the gas cylinder.

A high-purity phosphorus oxychloride safety feed system improves continuity and intelligent control of operation and usage, addresses alarm reporting, takes measures when leakage of high purity phosphorus oxychloride occurs, and solves problem of on-site and remote monitoring and material liquid level monitoring during use. The feeding device is provided with: an automatic tail gas exhaust outlet, a high purity phosphorus oxychloride gas leakage detection alarm, a video surveillance camera, a low liquid level detection alarm, an LED illuminating lamp, and an observation window.

An apparatus for energy replenishment, fueling for non-hydrocarbon fueled vehicles includes a reconfigurable display comprising a matrix graphically representing and communicating locations and energy type or refueling status of a plurality of energy dispensers for non-hydrocarbon fueled vehicles. A method of scheduling availability of a plurality of energy dispensers in a refueling station forecourt for non-hydrocarbon fueled vehicles includes providing the reconfigurable display to help vehicle operators choose a location that improves traffic flow and reduce congestion within the forecourt. The reconfigurable display may indicate that a first energy dispenser in the plurality of energy dispensers is unavailable until a second energy dispenser in the plurality of energy dispensers immediately forward of the first energy dispenser is occupied.

A method and related system for specimen identification, management, and procedural monitoring are described. Specimens can be cryogenic samples, housed in cryogenic containers having attached, integral, or physically included RFID tags, which can be scanned using an RFID scanner, while the cryogenic containers with samples are in the cryogenic fluid. Inventory tracking of the samples in the cryogenic containers can be performed with a computing device based on scanning the RFID tags. Also described are a method and related system that include a microscopic camera and one or more display screens and allow efficient and accurate identification of sample identifiable information on the sample, two-person verification from a central and remote locations, e.g., via videoconferencing capability, documentation, monitoring (e.g., quality control), and training. A method and related system for monitoring a procedure, e.g., a microscopic procedure, at two or more locations using microscopic camera and computing devices are also provided.

A gas supply system includes a cabinet forming an internal space where a gas container is disposed, a fastening device movably installed in the internal space and fastened to a valve of the gas container in a state of being aligned with the valve, and a mobile robot device movable outside the cabinet, detachably connected to the fastening device, and configured to move the fastening device in a state of being connected to the fastening device.
