A system and a method are used to monitor spoilage conditions of a product. The system includes at least one two-way humidity control system and at least one computing system. The two-way humidity control system includes at least one beacon sensor, a normal humidity range is stored on the two-way humidity control system, and the two-way humidity control system is positioned within at least one enclosed product storage. The enclosed product storage is a sealed area where products can be stored to maintain the products in optimal environmental conditions. The two-way humidity control system detects humidity readings and regulates humidity within the enclosed product storage based on the normal humidity range. The beacon sensor detects environmental data and retrieves environmental data from other wireless sensors. The computing system processes the data collected by the beacon sensor to generate alerts, when the environmental conditions are abnormal, and environmental condition reports.

A replaceable container topper is disclosed. It is mainly combined with the cover of any container (clamshell cover or separate cover). The cover is configured with a first joint structure, and the topper is configured with a matching second joint structure at a corresponding position, so that the topper and the cover can be combined firmly and stably, and can also be separated easily and quickly; the topper can have various structural and functional designs with no limit to its shape and structure, including working as: any of a fixed or movable handle, a soft long suspender or short band, a decorator of any style, a small electronic device or mechanical device. Through various designs of the topper, the container as a whole can have unique and personalized styles to not only enhance the aesthetics but also provide additional practical functions, such as telling the time, playing music, emitting light, positioning and tracking, or even to provide value for collection.

A package comprises a body, and an electrically conductive pattern supported by said body. An interface portion is configured to receive a module to a removable attachment with the package. The electrically conductive pattern comprises, at least partly within said interface portion, a wireless coupling pattern that constitutes one half of a wireless coupling arrangement.

A can includes an at least partially electrically conductive body having a seal region delimited by a predetermined breaking edge on a front wall. An opening element bears against the front wall and is connected to the front wall at least at one point in an initial position. When the opening element is pivoted into an opening position, the seal region tears away at the predetermined breaking edge and forms an opening for emptying the contents of the can. The opening element has a metallic basic body which has a loop with an electrical interruption at one end region. An antenna and a transponder chip which is connected to the antenna are provided. The antenna bears at least partially against and is electrically insulated from the basic body. The antenna is free of interruptions, at least partially along the loop which is electrically interrupted by the interruption.

Embodiments of this disclosure include a rigid tray container and methods and equipment for using the rigid tray container in batched process operations. In one embodiment, a mass container is sized and dimensioned to receive one or several rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to lid/unlid, secure, stack, load/unload, and buffer rigid tray containers. In other embodiments, equipment is configured to stack and stage mass containers. In some embodiments, methods are provided for batch processing items.

An injection molded component includes a wall that has an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface. A sensor is molded into one of the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface. A channel is at least partially surrounding the sensor.

An adhesive patch and method of use thereof for forming a plurality of stackable items into a vertically stacked load are described. The method may include delivering an aligned stack of items positioned on a pallet for eventual transportation while minimizing the misalignment of the stackable items.

A set of devices is provided for an electronic cigarette. The set of devices has a first device and a second device, wherein the first device has an authentication device which is configured to authenticate the first device and the second device in relation to a control element of the electronic cigarette. The set of devices further has an identifier which indicates that the first device has the authentication device for authenticating the first device and the second device, wherein the second device is without an identifier which indicates that the second device has the authentication device for authenticating the first device and the second device.

A reusable container includes a container portion and a microcontroller device. The microcontroller device includes a microcontroller and a wireless communication device. The wireless communication device is configured for wireless communication with a local area network including at a least a first radio receiver or the first radio receiver and a first computer. The local area network is external to the reusable container. The local area network is configured to determine location data corresponding to a location of the container based on at least a location of the radio receiver or the first computer. The microcontroller is configured to store the location data.

A container for selective display is an apparatus enabling users to store perishable items under controlled conditions. The apparatus includes a display container and an obstruction mechanism. The display container includes an open container end, a closed container end, a lateral wall, a window, and a sealing lid. The display container is designed to store the items under ideal conditions and facilitates the monitoring and control of the conditions inside the display container. The obstruction mechanism maintains the interior of the display container sealed from exterior light. The open container end enables access to the contents inside the display container. The closed container end and the lateral wall form an enclosed storage space to hold the contents. The window enables the users to inspect the contents without opening the display container. The sealing lid hermetically seals the display container to maintain the ideal conditions for the contents to be preserved.
