Abstract: Transportation plan adjustments based on recommended shipping packages may utilize a shipment data model for a facility that is updated with cubic volumes of recommended packages for received orders. The shipment data model may also be updated with the cubic volumes of the packages that are actually used to pack the orders and transportation utilization data such as assignment of packages to particular transportation resources. A transportation plan may be updated based on the updated shipment data model and transportation utilization data such as which transportation resources have left the facility and how much of the available cubic volume of the resource was used when the resource left the facility. The transportation plan may be updated at times associated with transportation resource change deadlines from one or more transportation resource providers. Adjustments to previously scheduled transportation resources may be made based on the updated transportation plan.

Abstract: A three-dimensional heat transfer device includes a vapor chamber and at least one heat pipe. The vapor chamber has a first plate and a second plate opposite to each other, and a first capillary structure is disposed on an inner surface of the first plate. A second capillary structure is disposed in the heat pipe, the second capillary structure has a contact portion extending out of the heat pipe and exposed therefrom. The heat pipe is vertically inserted through the second plate. The contact portion extends into the vapor chamber and is connected to the first capillary structure, so that the first and second capillary structures communicate with each other. Therefore, an overall three-dimensional heat transfer effect can be achieved, and a desired optimized heat dissipation effect is obtained when the vapor chamber collaborates with the heat pipe.
