Abstract: Systems and methods for modular power and access control for actively cooled containers are provided. In some embodiments, a mobile and/or stationary, modular, power system/dock for perishable storage/transport containers with active cooling functionality is provided to maintain a controlled internal temperature for extended periods. In some embodiments, this active cooling can include: thermoelectric (TEC), Stirling-cooler; and/or vapor compression. This can be in support of refrigerated or frozen cargos in (but not limited to) Cold chain, grocery (food), Pharma, Medical applications, or specialized customer requirements. The power system is useable with either mains, locally generated, and/or battery power. In some embodiments, the system includes a proximity sensor and/or switching system to control timing of power application and power removal to the food storage cooler to eliminate risk of arcing or shock.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for fluid-dynamic isolation of actively conditioned and return air flow in unconstrained environments. In some embodiments, a system for fluid-dynamic isolation of actively conditioned and return air flow in an unconstrained environment includes: a heat pump subsystem configured to create a conditioned air circuit; and an air curtain subsystem configured to create an air curtain air circuit that isolates the conditioned air circuit from an environment that is external to the system. In this way, conditioned air can be provided in spaces that were impractical before. In addition, this might be done in an efficient way.

Abstract: Systems and methods for cold chain deliveries are provided. In some embodiments, a method of operating a tote to enable cold chain delivery, the method comprising one or more of: providing storage of one or more cold products in the tote in a micro-fulfillment center; facilitating a pick and pack process of one or more cold products where the one or more cold products are picked from a tote and/or are packed into a tote; and dispensing the one or more cold products using a tote. In this way, cold chain requirement compliance is improved while saving time, money, and energy.
