A system includes a memory device and a processing device to initialize a block family associated with the memory device and a timer at initialization of the block family. The processing device further stores, in non-volatile memory of the memory device, a value of the timer before powering down the system while the block family is still open. The processing device further detects a power on of the system and measures a data state metric associated with one or more memory cell of a page of the memory device that is associated with the block family. The processing device further compares a level of the data state metric to a temporal voltage shift function to estimate a time after program value of the page and increments the value of the timer, restored from the non-volatile memory, based on the time after program value.

A method and system for cold chain monitoring of perishable goods includes at least one environmental sensor (102) to monitor at least one environmental parameter, a controller (104) to log a plurality of readings from each of the at least one environmental sensors (102), and a machine readable display (114) to display at least one alarm status associated with the plurality of readings via a barcode.

Systems, apparatuses and methods are provided herein for alerting customers to product temperature compliance during delivery whereby a retail product intended to be maintained below one or more temperature threshold values through a supply chain delivery process is identified, a temperature threshold value of the retail product is determined, an irreversible thermochromic indicator having an activation temperature that corresponds to the temperature threshold value of the retail product is identified, the thermochromic indicator is affixed to the retail product prior to commencing the supply chain delivery process, and verification, via a user interface, is obtained from a customer receiving the retail product that the thermochromic indicator is in its inactivated state.

A flexible sensor label including a reservoir chamber configured to store an activation medium, a plurality of first chambers, and a plurality of second chambers. Each first chamber has an associated first temperature and stores an irreversible thermochromic polymer that is altered and irreversibly changes color in response to the activation medium being released and coming into contact with the irreversible thermochromic polymer in the first chamber and an environmental temperature of the flexible sensor label corresponding to the associated first temperature of the first chamber. Each second chamber has an associated second temperature and stores a reversible thermochromic polymer that is altered and reversibly changes color in response to the activation medium being released and coming into contact with the reversible thermochromic polymer in the second chamber and the environmental temperature of the flexible sensor label corresponding to the associated second temperature of the second chamber.

A method and related system for monitoring a time-temperature profile comprises measuring by a temperature sensor a temperature of an object, recording by an electronic device a time-temperature data point including the temperature and a time at which the temperature was measured, communicating the recorded time-temperature data point by the electronic device to a computing system, and determining by the computing system whether the recorded time-temperature data point is outside a predetermined acceptable range.

A thermochromic pellet for a thermochromic indicator of the heating of an electrical connection terminal of an electrical unit, is configured to change colour when its temperature exceeds a predetermined transition temperature. The thermochromic pellet is further configured to be fixed reversibly to a support limb belonging to the thermochromic indicator and fixed to the terminal.

The disclosed embodiments are related to storing critical data in a memory device such as Flash memory device. In one embodiment, a method performed by a controller of a memory device comprises receiving a critical operation from a host processor, the critical operation accessing a memory array; retrieving a temperature value of the memory array from a temperature sensor; and conditionally processing the critical operation based on the temperature value.
