Abstract: A modular system and method for monitoring and distributing power is disclosed. A container having at least one side surface with an exit port or entrance port, a conduit transmitting through the container and an internal cavity. A container system in the internal cavity has a power distribution system, a data distribution system, and monitoring sensor monitoring container system data. A processor receives the container system data from the monitoring sensor, processes the data and transmits the processed data to the container system.

Abstract: A multi-layer sheet material imageable by both direct thermal printing devices and digital offset printing presses (e.g., Hewlett-Packard (HP) Indigo digital offset printing presses), is provided. In one contemplated embodiment, the inventive sheet material demonstrates good ink/media adhesion when imaged using HP Indigo presses, and is comparable or superior to standard direct thermal grades in terms of printability and durability. Where HP Indigo and direct thermal are on demand printing devices, the present invention makes it possible to have a production line where both are in operation at various process steps.
