Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for containing and measuring a fluid in a reservoir. A sensing reservoir comprises a reservoir comprising an opening and a wall, the opening configured to allow passage of the fluid in and out of the reservoir, and the wall defining a chamber configured to contain the fluid. The sensing reservoir further comprises a fluid sensing unit coupled to the sensing reservoir, the fluid sensing unit configured to generate measurement data indicative of a volume of the fluid contained in the reservoir.

Some people need to carry their medicines with them wherever they go. However, people can damage their medicines by leaving them outside in hot or cold weather. Specially designed systems can help increase safety by notifying people if their medicine is left behind or is getting too hot or cold.

A container for personal health compositions with melatonin. The container has a polyester and a colorant composition with at least two dyes and a pigment. The container can filter out the wavelengths of visible light that contribute to the photodegradation of melatonin during storage in normal factory or home light conditions.

A vessel includes an inner container, an outer container, a connector, a cap, and a lid. The outer container includes a first coupler and an outer chamber. The inner container includes a second coupler and an inner chamber to hold a liquid. The inner container is receivable at least partially within the outer chamber. The connector includes a third coupler that is complementary to the first coupler, and a fourth coupler that is complementary to the second coupler. When both the first coupler is engaged with the third coupler and the second coupler is engaged with the fourth coupler, the outer chamber is entirely enclosed within a liquid-proof barrier.

A method according to one embodiment includes receiving, by a control system secured to the insulated portable container, sensor data from a temperature sensor positioned within the insulated portable container, determining, by the control system, whether the sensor data is associated with a notification range, establishing, by the control system, a long-range wireless communication connection with a server in response to a determination that the sensor data is associated with the notification range, and transmitting, by the control system, a message to the server indicating that the sensor data is associated with the notification range in response to establishing the long-range wireless communication connection.

The present invention relates to an insulin bottle insulator and protection device. The device is comprised of a body, an interior space, and a cooling element. The device is further comprised of a lid that keeps the cold air in the device. The interior space is further comprised of an interior protection sleeve that protects the insulin bottle from breaks and cracks if dropped. The device further allows the user to be able to transport their insulin bottles without the risk of being broken or becoming unusable because they become too warm.

A medical fluid storage and transportation enclosure can include a housing, a chamber, an exhaust duct, an inlet duct, and a valve. The housing can include walls defining a cavity, where the cavity can be configured to receive a medical product therein. The chamber can be adjacent to the cavity and can be configured to exchange heat with the cavity. The valve can be located in the inlet duct, where the valve can be movable in response to an air.

An apparatus, comprising an environmental control element configured to control at least one environmental condition of a substance contained within a chamber, the environmental control element includes a thermal insulator configured to provide a thermal shield to the substance and a phase change material (PCM) configured to thermally regulate at least one environmental condition. The environmental control element is configured to control the environmental condition without use of an external power source, and the PCM is configured to return to its solid phase without user intervention.

An apparatus for heating beverages is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base and a container for holding liquids. The base has a heater plate that is heated by one or more heater elements attached to the heater plate. A power source in the base provides electricity to the heater elements. The base is removably attachable to the container. The container has an inner cup that sits inside a chassis. The inner cup is made of metal and has an open top for receiving liquid, a circumferential wall, and a closed bottom. The chassis has an open top for receiving a liquid, a circumferential wall, and an open bottom. When the container is attached to the base, the closed bottom of the inner cup is configured to contact the heater plate and receive heat from the heater plate.

A shipping and storage system which has an access panel with an optional open/close status sensor, and a payload carrier with an affixed sensor connected to a tracking module that monitors the environment of the payload carrier, such as temperature, against a pre-determined threshold for compliance with pre-determined handling and storage requirements for a specific payload type, such as a specific blood product. When a violation is detected by the tracking module, a user alert or user interface is activated. Advanced features optionally include a plurality of pre-determined threshold sets for a plurality of specific payload types, a tamper detection function based on the access panel status and optional weight changes in the payload carrier, and wireless connectivity to allow mobile device and cloud-based enhanced management functions.
