Abstract: Fluid thermal management storage apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein. An example apparatus can include a dewar vessel having a heatsink mounted thereon. The dewar vessel can be configured to receive and retain a bag of whole blood. A thermoelectric sub-assembly is mounted to the heatsink, where the thermoelectric sub-assembly includes a solid-state thermoelectric element, a fan disposed below the solid-state thermoelectric element for circulating air within the dewar vessel, and a controller having a processor and memory. The processor executes instructions to maintain the bag of whole blood at a safe operational temperature for a period of time.

Abstract: Hybrid energy storage systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example hybrid energy storage system can include initiating an electric field charging cycle to charge an electric field storage cell; determining that the electric field storage cell has been charged to at least a threshold state of charge (SoC); electrically coupling the electric field storage cell with any one or more of an electrochemical storage cell and a power source through a rapid charger element to charge the electrochemical storage cell; determining when the electrochemical storage cell has reached a threshold level SoC; connecting a converter to a load; and discharging the electrochemical storage cell to the load and monitoring the SoC of the electrochemical storage cell during use.
