Abstract: A battery disconnect device includes a housing with a trip/sense circuit, a sealed solenoid and two bars. The solenoid includes a spring loaded contactor disposed in a sealed chamber which normally bridges the bars and is constructed to provide a very low resistivity between the bars. When a coil of the solenoid is activated, in response, for example, to a low battery voltage, the contactor moves away from the bars and is kept in an open position by a magnet. The contactor can be closed or returned to the original position by a manual push button or by a close circuit operated from a remote switch. Additionally the contactor may be opened by using a remote button to act as an anti-theft device.

Abstract: An insulated specimen shipping container is disclosed having a base and a cover fitting thereon.

A portion of the interior wall separating the cold pack from the specimens has openings, facilitating thermal communication between the specimens and cold pack.

Abstract: A package assembly has an outer container, an inner container and an inner positioning member. The inner positioning member cooperates with the outer container and the inner container to maintain the alignment of identification indicia disposed on the outer surface of the inner container so that it is visible through an aperture in the outer container.
