Abstract: A system for packaging fluid into a reservoir may comprise a fluid production assembly. The system may further comprise a reservoir chain dispenser and an enclosure having a plurality of compartments. A first compartment may include an infeed aperture. The system may further comprise a dispenser interface including an outlet cover retainer displaceable between a stowed position and an infeed aperture plugging position. The system may further comprise a reservoir singulation assembly. The system may further comprise a filling assembly including cartridge having an inlet in communication with the fluid production assembly and outlet including a sharp. The cartridge may be at least partially in the first compartment. The system may further comprise a second and third compartment. The system may further comprise a particulate inspection system and a marking assembly. The system may further comprise an outfeed assembly including a first and second array of receptacles.

Abstract: There is provided a method and apparatus that monitors and records the status and cargo inventory of a shipping container. The shipping container includes a container control unit that records and monitors the status and inventory particular to that container. Sensors are provided within the container to determine the container status. A piezoceramic actuator provides power to rechargeable batteries in the container control unit. Thus the container includes a self contained power source. A bridge control unit monitors and records the status and inventory of every container on a vessel. A remote control unit monitors and records the status and inventory of every container worldwide.
