Abstract: The present disclosure utilizes the phase change properties of various phase change materials, specifically of 1-decanol and 1-dodecanol. Blood platelets and biological tissues that are chemically unstable at high temperatures can be maintained between 20° C. and 24° C. using 1-Dodecanol in a disclosed container. Temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products may be maintained between 2° C. to 8° C. using 1-Decanol in a disclosed container. The present disclosure may be used to control the temperature of such products during transport by confining the temperature of the product within a predetermined range. This permits light weight packaging with the maintenance of temperatures in narrow, pre-selected ranges over extended periods of time. A nylon and low density polyethylene thermal blanket comprising cells substantially filled with phase change material, which is advantageously puncture proof, durable, and capable of surrounding any payload, is disclosed.

Abstract: A computer processor is programmed by computer software so that the computer processor scans text of a first e-mail for any one of a set of matching words and if any one of the set of matching words is found in the text of the first e-mail, the computer processor is programmed by the computer software to alert a user that an e-mail attachment is missing. The set of matching words may include “attach”. The computer processor may alert a user than an e-mail attachment is missing by causing a message to be displayed on a computer monitor concerning whether an attachment should have been included with the first e-mail. The message may provide a prompt to the user which can be selected by the user to start the process of including an attachment with the first e-mail.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for shipping temperature sensitive products at a temperature of two to eight degrees Celsius for long shipment durations with maximum reliability and minimum cost. The apparatus may include a first container and a second container. The first container may include one or more heating devices which direct heat into a first chamber. The first container may fit into a second chamber of the second container. The second container may include one or more liquid and/or frozen packets.

Abstract: A new use for hydrocarbons, phase changing at temperatures above the freezing point of water, by which their latent heat is used to protect temperature sensitive product during shipment. The phase change material is used in shipping containers by packaging the material in flexible or rigid sealed containers, and surrounding the temperature sensitive products with a calculated amount of phase change material.
