The present disclosure acquires information on a cold insulator. The cold insulator includes: at least one cold storage material; a packaging unit configured to package the at least one cold storage material; one or more first temperature sensors disposed on the packaging unit; and a transmission unit disposed on the packaging unit to transmit a result of measurement performed by the one or more first temperature sensors to an external device.

Disclosed is a thermal insulating shipping container with a five-sided box wherein a bottom and four sides all have an inner layer of corrugated polymer, a middle layer of shrink-wrapped panels with each panel being a vacuum panel, and an outer layer of corrugated polymer. The container is formed by inserting polyurethane liquid into the gaps and spaces between the shrink-wrapped panels and the inner and outer layers and foaming the polyurethane liquid and allowing it to harden. Weather stripping may be adhered to the edges of the container which are opposite to the bottom of the container.

In an indoor environment on fire, automatic deployment of sensors disposed on, beneath or over the floor to look upward the ceiling to observe a body of smoke and flame risen near the ceiling allows important information regarding states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame to be gathered at an early stage of fire (e.g. before arrival of firefighters). By distributing the sensors over the indoor environment, the states and dynamics of the body of smoke and flame are monitored holistically (i.e. as a whole) even at the early stage of fire. Such information is useful to predict development of the fire. In one implementation, a sensor is held in an infrastructure sensor holder mounted on the ceiling during normal time. Upon detecting occurrence of fire, the sensor drops from the holder to land on the floor and orients a sensing direction vertically upward to perform monitoring.

A robot comprises an auger-based drive system, a memory, and a processor coupled with the memory and configured to control movement of the robot relative to a piled granular material in a bulk store, via the auger-based drive system, such that the robot traverses a first surface of the piled granular material in a mapping pattern. The processor is further configured to record a plurality of three-dimensional locations of the robot during the traversal in the mapping pattern. The processor or a computer system coupled with the processor is configured to assemble the plurality of three-dimensional locations of the robot into a three-dimensional surface map of the first surface of the piled granular material.

A system has a first temperature sensor located at a first location. A second temperature sensor is located at a second location. A control is configured to determine a difference between voltages indicated of a temperature sensed by each of the first and second sensors. A method is also disclosed.

Described is a zone box for a differential scanning calorimeter. The zone box includes sheets of thermocouple alloy disposed between thermally conductive electrical insulator layers. A thermocouple alloy wire is electrically coupled to each one of the thermocouple alloy sheets. In addition, a pure metal wire is electrically coupled to each one of the thermocouple alloy sheets to enable remote measurement of voltage differences between the different thermocouple alloy sheets. The high thermal conductivity of the electrical insulator layers substantially reduces any thermal gradients across the sheets and maintains the connections of the thermocouple alloy wires and pure metal wires to the sheets to be at substantially the same temperature. The zone box reduces temperature difference measurement errors that result from inhomogeneity in the thermocouple alloy wires and variable temperature distributions along the length of the wires.
