Abstract: A cable connector assembly includes a module retainer and a set of two or more cable insert modules sized and shaped for removable retention within two or more module slots of the module retainer. A cable insert module of the set of two or more cable insert modules includes a cable insertion recess sized and shaped for insertion of a cable wire of a cable, a connectivity interface on an opposing face of the cable insert module, and a transmission path between the cable insertion recess and the connectivity interface.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to cold chain packaging, cold chain packaging articles and devices, and methods of making and using the cold chain packaging, articles, and devices. The cold chain packaging, articles, and devices of the present disclosure include (1) one or more “Phase Change Materials” (PCMs); and (2) one or more protective coverings that are adjacent to the PCM and that protect the PCM and/or item to be shipped from the environment during shipping and transport.

Abstract: The present invention is a thermal management device including a power source, a flexible thermoelectric module, and a first phase change material.

Abstract: Passive cooling article (120) includes a plurality of first elements (122) defining a high absorbance in the atmospheric window wavelength range and defining high average reflectance in the solar wavelength range and a plurality of second elements (124) defining a low absorbance in the atmospheric window wavelength range and defining high average reflectance in the solar wavelength range, wherein the plurality of first (122) and second (124) elements are interspersed to form a major structure having a first major surface (130) comprising the first element outer surfaces (126) and the second element outer surfaces (128), wherein the first element outer surfaces (126) face a first direction toward a first end region (136) of the major structure (130) and the second element outer surfaces (128) face a second direction toward a second end region (136) of the major structure. The article (120) may be applied to a substrate (104), for example, on a generally vertical surface of a vehicle or stationary structure.
