In one aspect, temperature control sheets are described herein. In some embodiments, such a sheet comprises a first film; a second film facing opposition to the first film; and a phase change material (PCM) component disposed in between the first film and the second film. The sheet comprises one or more PCM-containing zones in a lateral plane of the sheet and also comprises one or more PCM-free fold or cut zones or lines in the lateral plane of the sheet.

Supercooled water or solutions can be destabilized by the nucleation of ice, which can be triggered by a wide range of different mechanisms. Constraining water in a constant-volume (isochoric) container minimizes the effects of many of these mechanisms through thermodynamic, kinetic, and fluid dynamic means, significantly enhancing supercooling stability. This invention describes methods and devices for high-stability and optionally transportable supercooling of aqueous solutions or suspensions, and the stable and long-term preservation of biological matter that may be stored therein.

A portable beach cooler is capable of reducing the temperature of stored items. A main cooling body opens to reveal an ice tray. The ice tray may be connected to a lifting mechanism that allows the ice tray to rise for convenient user access to ice. The lid of the cooling body may have several cupholders traversing through the lid, providing direct access to ice for contained beverages. A cupholder adapter may support beverages atop the lid or may be inverted atop a beverage contained within the cupholder to provide direct beverage access to ice while simultaneously preventing cold air from escaping. A set of tracked wheels is connected to a motorized frame capable of supporting the cooling body. The apparatus may further be equipped with cameras to allow for automatic maneuvering of the motorized frame behind a user, as well as a variety of other electronic ports and devices.

A system and device for a removably attachable golf cart cooler. Embodiments of the golf cart cooler provide for a soft-shell cooler that is removably attachable to the front of a motorized golf cart, the cooler comprising a continuous retention strap positioned across the exterior of the cooler. The continuous retention strap may comprise fasteners for attaching the golf cart cooler to a golf cart. While attached, the continuous strap can help to distribute weight across the entire length of the continuous strap, alleviating tension on the fasteners. Additionally, the continuous strap can act as a retention member, aiding in maintaining the shape and rigidity of the cooler and preventing contents from falling out.

The portable food storage and preparation device provides food storage and preparation facilities in a wheeled enclosure. The device has a portable power supply, a controller, a refrigerating module, a food heating module, and a beverage module. The refrigerating module is able to maintain food chilled either with chill packs or a refrigeration unit. The beverage module has a first water storage tank and a water heater, and water from the beverage module can be supplied to food being heated or cooked in the food heating module.

An assembly and method for constructing or modifying a portable or non-portable ice chest, refrigerator, or other cooler for temporarily installing one or more faucets and related beverage dispensing equipment for cooling and dispensing beer or other beverages such that when cooler is not being used for dispensing beer or other beverages, the one or more faucets and the related dispensing equipment can be removed to allow the cooler to be used for other cooling services.

Product transport containers are disclosed. Such containers can provide one or more advantages compared to existing containers. For example, product transport containers described herein can maintain a product at a desired temperature for an extended period of time, including without the use of an active heating or cooling component. Such product transport containers described herein may also provide improved breathability, thermal insulation, and/or mechanical strength or dimensional stability. Such containers can include a plurality of walls defining an interior volume and a selectively openable side permitting movement of the product into and out of the interior volume of the container. The walls can be formed from a thermoformed non-woven fabric.
