Publication number: 20240035902Abstract: A dual heat-freeze indicator and methods for making the same are disclosed. The dual heat-freeze exposure indicator includes a substrate, a low temperature indicator material provided in a first initial color state, a high temperature indicator material provided in a second initial color state, both supported by the substrate. The low temperature indicator material is configured to change from the first initial color state to a first exposed color state responsive to the indicator being exposed to a temperature below a low temperature threshold. The high temperature indicator material is configured to irreversibly change from the second initial color state to a second exposed color state responsive to the indicator being exposed to a temperature above a high temperature threshold. The low temperature indicator material returns from the exposed color state to the initial color state responsive to being exposed to a temperature above a reset temperature threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Applicant: Temptime CorporationInventors: Mohannad ABDO, Thaddeus PRUSIK, Marielle K.

Publication number: 20220412933Abstract: An activatable print medium is disclosed. The print medium includes a first reactive component, a second reactive component, wherein the first and second reactive components are configured to react to initiate a state change of the activatable print medium when exposed to each other and a barrier that is initially in an unactivated form and configured to transition to an activated form when activated by an application of at least one of an activation heat and an activation pressure wherein after the barrier is activated, but not before, the activatable print medium is configured so that the first and second reactive components interact in response to a predetermined environmental stimulus or interact over time at a rate dependent on an environmental stimulus, thereby providing an indication of the cumulative historical exposure of the activatable print medium to the environmental stimulus.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicant: Temptime CorporationInventors: Michael S.
