Publication number: 20140284231Abstract: A return container for a sensor device and methods of forming a sensor device return container are disclosed. The return container may include a container sheet, which has a plurality of panels configured to be folded around the sensor device. The panels, as folded, define at least a first region for maintaining the sensor device, and a separate second region for maintaining an accessory associated with the sensor device. At least one of the panels has a re-sealable closing system that permits repeated access to the sensor device and accessory maintained within the return container. And one of more of the panels defines at least one interface opening that provides access to a limited portion of the sensor device as it is maintained within the first region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2013Publication date: September 25, 2014Applicant: FedEx Corporate Services, Inc.Inventors: J.

Patent number: 7623033Abstract: A system and method for tracking items may store in memory first association data reflecting an association between an item tracking device and a beacon device when the item tracking device is within a predetermined range of the beacon device. The item tracking device may correspond to a first item, and the beacon device may correspond to an area that contains multiple items including the first item. Furthermore, the system and method for tracking items may periodically transmit sensor data to a database. The sensor data may be transmitted to the database from the beacon device to provide information about an environment of a group of items from the multiple items within the predetermined range of the beacon device.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2006Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Federal Express CorporationInventors: Miley Ainsworth, Ole Petter Skaaksrud, Randy Jacobs, Tim Gregory, Marshall Veitenheimer
