The invention relates to a method for preparing a transport container which has an accommodation space for goods to be transported, said accommodation space being insulated by external thermal insulation. At an equipment site, the accommodation space is equipped with preconditioned, main latent heat storage elements necessary for a target heat capacity. In addition to the preconditioned, main latent heat storage elements, the accommodation space is also equipped with further thermal energy storage elements, the auxiliary energy storage elements, which are preconditioned to a specified temperature. This means that a longer transfer time period can be allowed after equipping and before filling the accommodation space with the goods to be transported, such that, from the filling time, the full target time period within the desired target temperature range is available for transporting the goods to be transported.

An electronic paper display is used for an ice-lined cold storage device to display data from the device's data system and/or from an external network.

The invention relates to a thermally insulated transport container (1). The invention is characterized in that the central refrigerated goods chamber (40) is surrounded by a plurality of decentralized refrigerated goods chambers (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46), the decentralized refrigerated goods chambers are connected or can be connected to the central refrigerated goods chamber (40) via a respective transfer gate (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46), and the central refrigerated goods chamber (40) is equipped with a tubular ring slide device (6, 6) that can be rotated about a central axis (X) and has at least one transfer opening (65), which can be brought into register with a respective transfer gate by rotating the ring slide device (6, 6), in the peripheral wall (62) of the ring slide device, thereby forming a passage from a paired decentralized refrigerated goods chamber to the central refrigerated goods chamber (40).

A shipping and storage system which has an access panel with an optional open/close status sensor, and a payload carrier with an affixed sensor connected to a tracking module that monitors the environment of the payload carrier, such as temperature, against a pre-determined threshold for compliance with pre-determined handling and storage requirements for a specific payload type, such as a specific blood product. When a violation is detected by the tracking module, a user alert or user interface is activated. Advanced features optionally include a plurality of pre-determined threshold sets for a plurality of specific payload types, a tamper detection function based on the access panel status and optional weight changes in the payload carrier, and wireless connectivity to allow mobile device and cloud-based enhanced management functions.

A system may include a mobile wireless device and a carry bag. The carry bag may include a pouch having an opening therein, at least one divider within the pouch defining a medical container compartment and a storage compartment, insulation lining the medical container compartment, a temperature sensor carried by the pouch and configured to monitor temperature within the medical container compartment, a wireless transceiver carried by the pouch, and a processor carried by the pouch and cooperating with the temperature sensor and the wireless transceiver to send temperature data to the mobile wireless device. The mobile wireless communications device may be configured to generate an alert when the temperature within the medical container compartment is outside of safe storage temperature range.

Manual and automated methods of pre-charging an empty or partially empty insulated container with CO2 snow are provided. A first location such as a charging location charges CO2 liquid into a container to create a pre-charged container with CO2 snow. The charging location prepares the pre-charged container for delivery to a second location, either by itself, or through a third party. The second location may be a clinical site, which upon receipt of the pre-charged container, loads a perishable item such as a biological sample into the pre-charged container. A user receives the pre-charged container with perishable item and removes the perishable item from the pre-charger container for testing (e.g., biological testing). Depending on the level of depletion of the CO2 snow in the pre-charged container, the user returns the depleted container to the first location or the intermediate location.

A mold for producing a green compact using powder metallurgy processes has an upper punch and a lower punch which are movable along a common press axis and a die body with a charging chute for receiving powder material. The die body has an upper region in which the upper punch is movably guided along the press axis in the charging chute, and a lower region in which the lower punch is movably guided along the press axis in the charging chute. Two cross slides realize a forming region which determines the lateral outside contour of the green compact, and are arranged on the die body so as to be displaceable in a direction which deviates from the press axis. The two cross slides only move into contact with one another when the two cross slides are arranged in their respective end position.

The invention relates to a cryogenic container for storing and/or transporting a medium, in particular a biochemical and/or medical product. The cryogenic container comprises at least one primary container, which has at least one flexible film bag. The flexible film bag is designed to receive the medium. The cryogenic container furthermore comprises at least one secondary container, which at least partially surrounds the primary container and is preferably at least partially flexible. The secondary container has at least one opening for insertion of the primary container. The secondary container furthermore has at least one preferably at least partially flexible outer sleeve. The secondary container furthermore has at least one heat exchanger space, which is arranged between the outer sleeve and the flexible film bag and receives at least one fluid heat exchange medium.

Disclosed is a medication carrying case having a modular interior and a deployable tray work surface. The case structure is provided in several different sizes and designs, whereby medication and other articles are supported by removably attached organizational leaflets attached along the interior surfaces of the case. Each leaflet comprises a number of different pouches or organizational elements for supporting medication and accessory items. The deployable tray attaches along the exterior of the case and provides a clean work surface for organizing and preparing medication prior to use. For temperature sensitive medication, a cooling chamber is provided within the leaflet and behind a pouch to cool the pouch contents. Furthermore, an internal temperature sensing means and a timer element is provided to monitor the interior environment of the case and provide a means of notification for the user for administration of medication, respectively.
