  • Cargo-neutral testing of container during mode transition
    Patent number: 11187455
    Abstract: A cargo-neutral climate control diagnostic system for a climate controlled mobile container includes a controller configured and disposed to be connected to one or more climate control components. The controller is configured and disposed to identify a cargo-neutral test opportunity and conduct a test to determine an operational state of the one or more climate control components of the climate controlled mobile cargo container while maintaining a desired environment.
    Type: Grant

  • Wireless communication with non-networked controllers
    Patent number: 11171777
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for controlling remote access to a computer system is disclosed. A method includes generating a secret value at a first computer system; sharing the secret value with associated computer systems; choosing a time length for validity; computing a derived key based on the secret value; and controlling remote access to the computer system based on the derived key and a unique identifier associated with the first computer system.

  • Enhanced economy refrigeration control system
    Patent number: 9766004
    Abstract: A controller for controlling a refrigeration unit, a method, and a refrigeration system are disclosed. In an illustrative embodiment, a controller stores instructions for a first refrigeration setting and a second refrigeration setting, tracks a cumulative average temperature in a refrigeration element, and activates either the first refrigeration setting or the second refrigeration setting. The first refrigeration setting has a lower average power consumption and a higher range of temperature variation than the second refrigeration setting.
