Abstract: A reusable shipper container has a container body with a payload chamber for holding goods and a lid operable to access the payload chamber. The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body. The reusable shipper container also has an inner lid assembly with one or more doors selectively movable between a first position over the payload chamber to close the payload chamber, and a second position to allow access to the payload chamber. The reusable shipper container can have a display screen on an underside of the lid that can auto-display information or autoplay videos, for example, when the lid is open and/or the shipper container has arrived at its destination.

Abstract: A reusable shipper container has a container body with a payload chamber for holding goods and a lid operable to access the payload chamber. The reusable shipper container also has one or more sensors in the payload chamber to sense humidity or temperature of the payload chamber or the goods. The reusable shipper container also has a tablet display screen detachably coupled to the container body that communicates with the sensors in the payload chamber.

Abstract: A portable container includes a cooling unit with a vessel and a base. A thermal cover can cover the vessel to insulate a chamber in the vessel that holds one or more goods. The vessel has a cavity filled with a phase change material or thermal mass, and thermally conductive plate(s) extending within the cavity and in thermal contact with the phase change material or thermal mass. The base is attached to the vessel and houses thermoelectric module(s) in thermal communication with the thermally conductive plate(s), a heat sink in thermal contact with the thermoelectric module(s), a fan operable to flow the air past the heat sink, and circuitry that operates the thermoelectric module(s) and fan. The thermoelectric modules are operable to charge the phase change material or thermal mass, so the charged phase change material or thermal mass (once charged) passively cools or heats the chamber.

Abstract: A portable cooler container system is described. The cooler container system includes a container body having a payload chamber and a temperature control system including a thermoelectric element, a hot side heat sink a cold side heat sink and a pump. The portable cooler container system further includes a conduit in thermal communication with a thermal mass, sensors, power storage elements and circuitry to control operation of the temperature control system.

Abstract: A cooler container kit is described. The cooler container kit includes a container body having a payload chamber, a lid, an electronic system, and one or more electrical connectors. The cooler kit further includes a conduit extending about the payload chamber. The cooler container kit further includes a temperature control system including a cold side heat sink, hot side heat sink, thermoelectric module, and a pump operable to flow a liquid relative to the cold side heat sink to cool the liquid. The cooler container kit further includes a docking unit.

Abstract: Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit include determining, based on spoken sounds of a user of an apparatus received at a microphone of the apparatus, whether to present audio data received from a different apparatus. If it is determined to present the received audio data, then presentation of the received audio data at a speaker of the apparatus is initiated. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a data communications bus; and logic encoded in one or more tangible media configured to performs the above steps. In some embodiments, the apparatus does not include a visual display and does not include a keypad of multiple buttons.

Abstract: Techniques for providing network services at an audio interface unit includes receiving first data and second data. The first data indicates a first set of one or more contents for presentation to a user. The second data indicates a second set of zero or more contents for presentation to the user. An audio stream is generated based on the first data and the second data. Presentation is initiated of the audio stream at a speaker in an audio device of the user.
