A transport container for secure transport of packages. In one embodiment, the transport container includes a body, a cover, a cover lock, a locking bar, and an electronic controller. The cover is coupled to the body. The cover is movable from a closed state covering the opening to an open state. The cover lock is configured to engage the cover and keep the cover in the closed state. The locking bar is coupled to the base. The locking bar is configured for attachment to anchor points. The electronic controller is electrically coupled to the cover lock and to the locking bar. The electronic controller is configured to adjust the cover lock between a locked state and an unlocked state. The electronic controller is also configured to adjust the locking bar between the locked state and the unlocked state.

The present invention discloses a bottle cap, wherein the bottle cap has an identification code (two-dimensional code or digital code) in a preset region, and due to flexible use of the identification code, the bottle cap realizes application to commodity anti-counterfeiting, point accumulating marketing, product tracing, goods fleeing prevention and other aspects.

Systems and methods for tracking a smart container are provided. The methods use sensors of the smart container to detect tampering with the smart container after the container leaves a sender and before the container arrives at a receiver. In particular, the sensors detect when the smart container has been opened by someone other than the receiver (i.e., tampered with) and write the detection of tampering (e.g., the sensor measurement) to a blockchain. Delivery agents use scanners to write their possession or agency over the smart container to the blockchain. Accordingly, the agency of the smart container can be determined if tampering occurs.

The invention relates to a device (100) for sealing a container having a neck, said device comprising: a deformable portion (1) intended to be at least partially arranged inside the neck of the container so as to seal it in a leak tight manner, said portion being capable of deforming elastically when inserted into the neck, said portion comprising a first end intended to be oriented towards the inside of the container, and a radiofrequency identification tag (11), said device being characterised in that it comprises at least one piezoelectric component (10) electrically connected to the tag (11) and arranged inside said deformable portion (1), within a blind recess on the first end side, generating an electric voltage caused by expansion of the deformable portion containing the piezoelectric component when said deformable portion is removed from the neck, said electric voltage being capable of causing a change of state of the radiofrequency identification tag.

A tamper-evident seal for use with a container includes a body that is sealably coupled to a boundary defining an opening providing access into the container. The seal includes a gripping portion having a fixed end and a free end, the fixed end extending from the body, wherein the free end is sized and shaped to be gripped by a user to enable the user to forcibly disconnect at least a portion of the body from the container. The seal further includes an indicator including an indicator body, a neck portion of the indicator is removably coupled to the gripping portion, such that when the body is at least partially removed from the boundary, at least a portion of the indicator body remains connected to the body, as the gripping portion is disconnected from the indicator when the neck portion is uncoupled from the gripping portion.

A method for preventing tampering with a package includes: affixing a plurality of labels to a physical package, each label including a machine-readable code, the machine-readable code being encoded with a unique value that is unique across the machine-readable code included in each of the plurality of labels; reading, by a computing device, the machine-readable code included in each label of the plurality of affixed labels to obtain the encoded unique value; storing, in the computing device, a cryptographic key pair comprised of a public key and a private key; generating, by the computing device, a digital signature using the private key; and electronically transmitting, by the computing device, a data message to a node in a blockchain network, wherein the data message includes at least the generated digital signature, the public key, and the unique value read for each label of the plurality of labels.

The present invention relates to a dispensing device, a valve, a containing apparatus having same, a contents moving apparatus, and a contents apparatus, comprising a passing operation unit provided in the housing, for moving and guiding contents, wherein the passing operation unit comprises a contents passing means for moving the contents. Unlike conventional art, the present invention may secure a space for passing contents while preventing reception of contents, which exceeds a demand, by adjusting a passing space and a receiving space, stably induce passing of a demanded amount of contents within a predetermined range, and prevent remaining of contents more than necessary by limiting the space for receiving the contents, thereby enabling adjustment of the amount (number) of contents being received.
