Based on the transformable assembly being in the aircraft configuration, the transformable cargo container has a non-rectangular cross-sectional area and is configured to occupy a partially-circular cross-sectional storage area of a fuselage of an aircraft. And based on the transformable assembly being in the ground configuration, the transformable cargo container is configured to occupy a rectangular cross-sectional storage area on a ground transportation vehicle.

A portable cooler container with active temperature control, comprising: a container body having a chamber configured to receive and hold one or more containers of medicine; a lid operable to access the chamber; and a temperature control system comprising one or more thermoelectric elements configured to actively heat or cool at least a portion of the chamber, circuitry configured to control an operation of the one or more thermoelectric elements to heat or cool at least a portion of the chamber to a predetermined temperature or temperature range; and a display screen disposed on one of the container body and the lid, the display screen configured to selectively display one or more of information associated with the operation of the portable cooler, information associated with the containers of medicine in the portable cooler, information associated with scheduled taking of the containers of medicine, and advertisements.

A phase change thermal storage unit having has at least one conformational feature selected from (i) a fill port located proximate a corner of the of the panel, (ii) internal contouring that alters the thickness of the phase change material retention chamber for creating an average thickness of the chamber within a central portion of the chamber which is less than the average thickness of the chamber within a peripheral portion of the chamber, and (iii) fingertip indentation handles proximate each and every edge.

A portable refrigerator is configured to be accommodated in a first cooling space of a main refrigerator and defines a second cooling space independent of the first cooling space. The portable refrigerator includes a case that defines an opening, a drawer configured to be inserted into and drawn out from the case through the opening of the case and configured to, based on being inserted into the case, cover the opening and the second cooling space, a temperature control part configured to control a temperature of the second cooling space, a power supply configured to be selectively connected to external power or indirect power, where the indirect power is supplied through the main refrigerator.

A movable controlled atmosphere store for fruits and vegetables, including: a store body in rectangular container structure and successively provided with an equipment room and a storage room along length direction; the equipment room is provided with an equipment door respectively on left and right sides; the storage room is in thermal insulation and sealing structure and provided with a sealing door at an end far away from the equipment room, and is provided with a sampling door on a side which is provided with a sealing film connected around a frame thereof, and a sampling assembly connected with the sealing film in cylindrical structure; a controlled atmosphere control system, including a control panel, as well as a refrigerator, a humidifier, a sterilizer, a nitrogen generator, a carbon dioxide adsorber, an ethylene adsorber, a temperature and humidity sensor and a gas concentration sensing device connected with the control panel.

Systems and methods for an actively cooled container comprising: a power subsystem; an active cooling subsystem; and a control subsystem are provided. In some embodiments, the control subsystem is configured to: determine that additional cooling is needed; cause the active cooling subsystem to cool the actively cooled container below a lower limit; determine to end the additional cooling; and cause the active cooling subsystem to cool the actively cooled container at or above the lower limit. In this way, the best balance between a fast cooldown time and not damaging (e.g., through freezing) the product load (e.g., beverages), is achieved.

The table top cooler stores food and beverage items in a cool condition. The table top of the table top cooler seals the container with the table top at the upper surface of the container and the table top of the table top cooler has the at least rods. The table top cooler allows the table top of the cooler to be opened. The table top of the table top cooler is lifted off vertically. The user opens the table top cooler by lifting the lid off vertically. The at least one rods extends vertically and has the at least one spring loaded button. The at least one rod locks the table top of the table top cooler at the certain height from the table top cooler by using a spring-loaded button located in each rod attached to the table top engages with the hole in the rail located in the wall of the table top cooler. The user accesses to the inside of the container and the top table of the table top cooler when the table top of the table top cooler is locked. The table top's height from the table top cooler is adjustable with attached the at least rod and the at least rod has more than one spring-loaded button to adjust the table top's height. The table top cooler has a plurality of wheels attachable to the body to pull or move the table top cooler.

A method of manufacturing a transport refrigeration unit is provided. The method includes providing an enclosure including an outer layer and a supporter. Providing the enclosure includes supplying one of a first material and a second material to a mold. This also includes supplying the other of the first material and the second material on the one of the first material and the second material that is supplied to the mold. Also, this includes curing the first material and the second material integrally that are supplied to the mold. The first material forms into the outer layer and the second material forms into the supporter. The second material includes a plurality of reinforcing fibers.

A transport refrigeration system including: a transportation refrigeration unit configured to provide conditioned air to a refrigerated cargo space; an energy storage device configured to store DC electrical energy to power the transportation refrigeration unit; and a DC-to-AC variable invertor electrically connecting the energy storage device to the transportation refrigeration unit, the DC-to-AC variable invertor being configured to convert the DC electrical energy from the energy storage device to AC electrical energy in a variable continuous energy output to power the transportation refrigeration unit.
