The rancidity of prepackaged foodstuffs, such as nuts, is inhibited by packaging the foodstuffs in a GRAS plastic material. This enables the nuts to be exposed to continuous heating or heating and cooling cycles such as within a conventional food warmer, exposure to heating lamps or to microwave ovens for extended periods of up to about thirty (30) days while impeding the rancidity of the nut products. Suitable GRAS packaging materials include low density polypropylene, low density polyethylene, PET polyester laminates, and the like. The packaging can be in any geometric form.

A method and system for delicate blooming flowers and fruits marketing them as home fragrance and home dcor product. Including natural grown flower(s) and/or fruit(s) infused with liquids with moisturizing, scent enhancing, preserving and nourishing abilities. Placing aforementioned flower(s) and or fruit(s) in a uniquely shaped transparent display container with the base of each flower and fruit infused and casted until a predetermined level in a rigid or semi rigid gel or resin with nourishing and containing abilities and closing the display container with a cover. The comprise of the display container, resin or gel, infused flower(s) or fruit(s), cover and optional insert device are then shipped either directly to retailers for sale or e-commerce sale and mail delivery.

Methods and systems are described for proactively notifying a shipping customer using a wireless node network about an alternative shipping solution when shipping a package. A master node in the network related to a shipping facility may detect a signal broadcast by a user access device related to the shipping customer as the device approaches the shipping facility master node with the package to be shipped. The shipping customer's user access device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) is operating as another node in the network. The shipping facility master node then associates with the user access device, and may receive shipping information on the package to be shipped from a server. The shipping facility master node may then provide a proactive notification about an alternative shipping solution to the user access device based upon a shipping status for the shipping facility.

The present application is directed to Seed Preservation and Storage Containers and a process for preserving and long term storing of a wide variety of crop seeds, plant seeds, heirloom seeds, flowering plant seeds, tree seeds, and grains including corn, beans, peas and rice. Each long term storage and preservation container will be labeled with the container seed contents information on QR codes or Bar codes, or the like, in and on containers, and the seed packets stored within the containers. By using a method of preservation and storage for an extended period of time, seed containers will be processed resulting in an ultimate climate condition to prevent the seeds within the seed containers from molding, rotting or prematurely germinating for many years. Contents of the seed containers will be readily revealed by scanning the outside labels on the containers and on the individual seed packet labels within the containers.

A node-enabled autonomous vehicle conducting a logistics transaction for a package includes an autonomous vehicle and a mobile master node on the vehicle. The vehicle moves, pursuant to control input, from a first location to a transaction location related to the logistics transaction. The mobile master node has a short range communication interface to communicate with other nodes in a wireless node network and a longer range communication interface to communicate directly with a server in the network. The vehicle's mobile master node is operative to receive shipment information from the server that identifies the package and an identification of a node associated with the package; provide a control signal to a control input of the vehicle causing the vehicle to move to the transaction location; and automatically conduct the logistics transaction related to the package if the mobile master node successfully associates with a node associated with the package.

Methods and systems are described for sharing shipment condition information in a wireless node network having a plurality of network devices and a server. In one method, a first node detects an advertising signal broadcast from a second node, where the first node is a first of the network devices and related to a first package, and the second node is a second of the network devices and related to a second package. The method continues by associating the first node and the second node. The first node then accesses the shipment condition information from a memory in the first node, and transmits or otherwise shares the shipment condition information with the second node if the first node is authorized to share the shipment condition information with the second node.
