In some implementations, the conductive cable can be reused to secure the doors of the shipping container after the cable has been cut. In some implementations, the container monitoring device can wirelessly communicate with one or more sensor pods located inside the shipping container. The sensor pods can include various environmental sensors configured to take measurements of environmental conditions within the shipping container. The sensor pods can transmit the sensor measurements to the container monitoring device and the container monitoring device can report the sensor measurements to a server for review by a user. | 04-03-2014 |
20140111334 | SENSOR POD - A sensor pod includes a housing defining an interior cavity; a fixture configured to attach the housing to a surface; an infrared sensor in the cavity configured to monitor infrared light through a first port in the housing; and a monitoring system disposed in the interior cavity and configured to receive a signal from the infrared sensor and determine whether the housing has been detached from the surface based on the signal, and to generate an alert signal when the housing is determined to have been detached from the surface. | 04-24-2014 |

20130081116 | TRUSTED INTERNET IDENTITY - A token or other storage device uses Internet identities to set file access attribute rights. Subsequently, requests to access a file can be controlled by confirming the Internet identity of the requestor by either validating the request with a known public key or retrieving the public key from an Internet identity provider. Files may be stored encrypted and may be re-encrypted with the public key associated with Internet identity making the request. | 03-28-2013 |

20140127063 | Roller Pump with Dynamic Occlusion Adjustment - A roller pump including a drive shaft, a motor, a roller head assembly, a stator housing, and an occlusion adjustment assembly. The drive shaft is coupled to the motor. The roller head assembly includes a hub, a slide body, and a roller. The hub is mounted to the drive shaft, and maintains the slide body and the roller. The stator housing forms a raceway receiving surface. The occlusion adjustment assembly includes an actuator knob, an actuating structure, and a ground shaft. The actuating structure interfaces with the slide body, and thus the roller, with rotation of the knob. The ground shaft supports the knob and is rotationally isolated from the drive shaft. A user and optionally a control system can adjust occlusion while the pump continuously delivers a fluid medium. | 05-08-2014 |

20140199521 | Method Of Producing An Optical Element Having A Mark - The present invention relates to a method of forming an optical element that includes a mark. The method involves, irradiating at least a portion of a surface of the optical element with laser radiation, thereby forming a plurality of substantially parallel elongated grooves in the portion of the surface, which are each aligned substantially parallel with a common longitudinal direction that extends from a center point of the plurality of elongated grooves. The plurality of elongated grooves together define the mark. A clear film is formed over at least the portion of the surface and the plurality of elongated grooves. Depending on the orientation of a source of electromagnetic radiation as viewed through the optical element relative to the common longitudinal direction of the grooves, the mark is either observable or unobservable. The present invention also relates to an optical element having a mark, as described above. | 07-17-2014 |
