An apparatus regulates a temperature of a fluid inside a container and dispenses the fluid from the container. The apparatus has a body with an axis, a cavity adjacent a distal end, a bore adjacent a proximal end, and a fluid inlet formed through the body to the bore. The body contacts the fluid inside the container. A second fluid may be located and sealed inside the cavity, and have a freezing point of about 10° C. or less. A nozzle may be mounted to the body. The nozzle has a channel in communication with the fluid inlet through which the fluid flows out of the container through the nozzle. A seal may be mounted to the body. The seal may have a radial seal to seal radially between the body and an interior of the container, and an axial seal to seal axially between the nozzle and the container.

The present invention provides a waterless keep-alive apparatus and a refrigeration appliance having the same. The waterless keep-alive apparatus is provided in an inner tank of a refrigeration appliance, and comprises: a keep-alive box allowing pulling inward and outward; a temperature controlling module and a humidity controlling module which are connected with the keep-alive box; and an air controlling module having an air hole provided on a side wall of the keep-alive box and an air duct fixed on the inner tank of the refrigeration appliance. The air duct is hermetically connected with the air hole when the keep-alive box is pushed into the inner tank of the refrigeration appliance. The air duct is disconnected from the air hole when the keep-alive box is pulled out. The waterless keep-alive apparatus realizes convenient article fetching while the oxygen concentration in the keep-alive box can meet the survival needs of aquatic products.

Delivering items to users by a delivery organization comprises a delivery container suitable to deliver multiple items that require storage at different temperatures for the duration of the delivery. The delivery container may be a cube or a rectangular prism constructed of an insulating material. The delivery organization may position a central panel in the delivery container to separate two compartments of the delivery container, each compartment to be cooled to a different temperature than the other. The delivery organization determines an appropriate coolant for each compartment based on heat transfer requirements of the compartment and positions the coolant in the bottom of each respective compartment. A panel is placed over each coolant and the items are placed in the appropriate compartments of the delivery container. A top panel is positioned on the delivery container to seal the delivery container.

Disclosed is container for modifying temperature of an object on receiving commands from a computing device. The container includes a hollow outer vessel, a hollow inner vessel, a hollow cylindrical bracket, a first temperature sensor, a peltier element, a heat sink, a second temperature sensor, a battery, a printed circuit board, a memory unit, a microprocessor, a bi-directional communication unit, and a bottom cover. The hollow cylindrical bracket is having a first indent, a second indent, a sidewall, and a closed bottom end. The hollow bracket sidewalls move between the second outer surface and the first inner surface. The first temperature sensor measures temperature of the second outer surface of the inner vessel. The memory unit stores pre-defined reference temperature. The microprocessor processes signals received from the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor. The microprocessor regulates current and voltage for the peltier element depending upon the processed signals and the stored pre-defined reference temperature. The bi-directional communication unit communicates signals between the microprocessor and the computing device. The computing device sends command to the controller to regulate the temperature of the inner vessel. The bottom cover covers the battery and the printed circuit board. Further, the bottom cover attaches to the hollow bracket.
