Abstract: An example operation may include one or more of retrieving a first disclosure for a first component, the disclosure including one or more first substances of note (SN) and corresponding first SN values from a blockchain, and determining a second disclosure for a second component comparable to the first component, the disclosure disclosing one or more second SN and corresponding second SN values. An example operation may further include one or more of generating a representative article including a common group of SN and representative SN common group values for each SN of the common group, a first remaining SN group of first SNs not included in the common group of SN and corresponding representative first SN values, and a second remaining SN group of second SNs not included in the common group of SN and corresponding representative second SN value, where the representative article represents the use of either the first component or the second comparable component.

Abstract: Embodiments provide a method to control a power-on phase of an electronic device is provided. The method includes transmitting, by a processing device, a request to a plurality of sensors, the request to read a measurement related to an environmental condition; receiving, by the processing device, the measurement from each of the plurality of sensors; and when the measurement is equal to or above a threshold value, commencing, by the processing device, the power-on phase of the electronic device.

Abstract: An advisory element of an acclimation system for an item being shipped from a source to a destination is provided with the item being disposable in a polybag. The advisory element is attachable to or is disposable remotely from the polybag. The advisory element is configured to receive shipment information input at the source, to sense environmental conditions to which the item and the polybag are exposed during shipment and at the destination and to calculate an acclimation time for the item based on the shipment information and the sensed environmental conditions. The advisory element is further configured to provide operational guidance to a user in accordance with the acclimation time at the destination.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a packaging label. The label includes a first region comprising a first thermochromic ink where the first thermochromic ink undergoes a permanent change from a first state to a second state when exposed to a first temperature. The label includes a second region having a second thermochromic ink where the second thermochromic ink undergoes a temporary change from the first state to the second state when exposed to the first temperature only to return to the first state upon being exposed to a desired second temperature.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to apparatuses used with a computer-implemented method for controlling power flow to an electronic device, including: receiving a transmission from a service processing device, the transmission to trigger an open switch between the electronic device and a power supply; and causing an open switch to occur through use of an interlock mechanism. Embodiments provide a temperature-driven interlock mechanism and moisture-driven interlock mechanism.

Abstract: An anti-spill device used in conjunction with a disposable cup and lid combination for preventing spillage through a sip hole in the lid is disclosed. The anti-spill device includes a cup gripping member that forms two arcuate-shaped flexible arms for securing the cup to the device. The device includes at least one retaining latch that is attached to the cup gripping member by a first retaining channel is integrated into the gripping member. The device further includes a horizontally flexing member connected to the gripping member by a second retaining channel that is integrated into the gripping member. Finally, the device includes a flexible sealing member with a lid engaging area which is biased to cover the sip hole in the disposable lid. A user desiring to drink the beverage within the cup gains access to the sip hole by engaging the device to lift and shift the lid engaging area away from the sip hole.

Abstract: A symmetrical preform that provides protection to an equipment component (or other fragile or breakable item), provides ease in use during pre-packing and packing of an equipment component for transport, does not require the need for additional packing components in combination with the packaging assembly, and is economically suited for its end use, is provided for. Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for making an integral, one piece packing assembly having symmetrical characteristics and being comprised of a flexible, corrugated-shaped material that is capable of protectively encapsulating, in a predetermined arrangement, a fragile component to ready for further movement, transport or packaging.
