- Enhanced shipping container apparatus having integrated fire suppression and systems using the same for detecting and responding to an environmental anomaly within the container
- (57) Abstract
An enhanced shipping container apparatus that maintains packages is described having integrated fire suppression. The apparatus has a container base supporting the packages, multiple container walls coupled to the container base, and a container top coupled to each of the container walls. A fire suppression panel is integrated as part of one or more of the walls and top portion, and has a support sheet of fire resistant material; an interior exposed sheet of temperature sensitive material; a sealed boundary connecting the support sheet and interior exposed sheet on peripheral edges (where the sealed boundary, support sheet and interior exposed sheet define a holding cavity), and integrated fire suppression material in the holding cavity. The temperature sensitive material of the interior exposed sheet releases the integrated fire suppressant material from within the holding cavity when the temperature sensitive material of the interior exposed sheet is exposed to a threshold temperature.

Description
The present disclosure generally relates to systems, apparatus and methods in the field of detecting an environmental anomaly onboard a container and responsively initiating an improved mediation response. In particular, the present disclosure relates to various aspects involving systems, apparatus and methods for improved environmental anomaly detection, related enhanced layered alerting as part of a mediated response, and initiating layered types of mediation responses to such an environmental anomaly using one or more elements of an adaptive, context-aware wireless node network.
Transporting items, objects, or materials (collectively and generally referred to herein as “packages” whether the items, objects, or materials are wrapped in packaging material or the items, objects, or materials are being shipped without packaging material) is an important part of commerce. In some instances, the type of item being transported may involve an item, object, or material that may be caustic, flammable, incendiary (e.g., easy to catch fire), or have a composition that inherently may pose some danger when transporting the item, object or material. For example, the transportation and shipment for certain types of batteries (e.g., lithium-based or lithium-ion batteries) may incur the risk of creating an environmental anomaly (such as a fire, explosion, chemical leak, or radiation leak). Common monitoring techniques for monitoring the condition of what is being shipped within a shipping container may involve sensors remote from the shipping container.

"description_excerpt": "The present disclosure generally relates to systems, apparatus and methods in the field of detecting an environmental anomaly onboard a container and responsively initiating an improved mediation response. In particular, the present disclosure relates to various aspects involving systems, apparatus and methods for improved environmental anomaly detection, related enhanced layered alerting as part of a mediated response, and initiating layered types of mediation responses to such an environmental anomaly using one or more elements of an adaptive, context-aware wireless node network.\n\nTransporting items, objects, or materials (collectively and generally referred to herein as “packages” whether the items, objects, or materials are wrapped in packaging material or the items, objects, or materials are being shipped without packaging material) is an important part of commerce. In some instances, the type of item being transported may involve an item, object, or material that may be caustic, flammable, incendiary (e.g., easy to catch fire), or have a composition that inherently may pose some danger when transporting the item, object or material. For example, the transportation and shipment for certain types of batteries (e.g., lithium-based or lithium-ion batteries) may incur the risk of creating an environmental anomaly (such as a fire, explosion, chemical leak, or radiation leak). Common monitoring techniques for monitoring the condition of what is being shipped within a shipping container may involve sensors remote from the shipping container.",
