A portable container has a payload chamber for holding medicines, vaccines, biological samples or other medical goods and a lid operable to access the payload chamber. The portable container also has an electronic system with one or more power storage devices, circuitry that wirelessly communicates via a cell radio with a cloud-based data storage system or a remote electronic device, and an electronic display screen. The electronic system is configured to a) automatically switch sender and recipient information on the electronic display screen to facilitate return of the portable container to the sender or b) automatically contact a parcel carrier to alert the parcel carrier that the portable container is ready for pickup.

Portable container

A portable cooler container system is described. The cooler container system includes an insulated container body having a payload chamber, one or more sleeve portions disposed about the payload chamber and a removable base. The system further includes a cooling system including a thermoelectric module, a hot side heat sink a cold side heat sink. The portable cooler container system further includes a conduit extending through the sleeve and configured to flow a cooling fluid through the sleeve.

A portable cooler container includes a container body with a payload chamber. The container body has an insulated vessel and a temperature control system that cools the payload chamber.

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.

A portable cooler container is provided. The temperature control system cools a chamber of the container to transport temperature sensitive contents via the container. An electronic display screen on one of the lid and the container body selectively displays an electronic shipping label for the portable cooler container.

The electronic system also has a button or a touch screen configured to be actuated by a user to a) automatically switch sender and recipient information on the electronic display screen to facilitate return of the portable container to the sender or b) automatically contact a parcel carrier to alert the parcel carrier that the portable container is ready for pickup.

A method of performing magnetic resonance imaging is provided. Sampling requirements are used to define a three dimensional cone trajectory differential equation. The equation is solved to obtain a starting point. A search is performed by performing a plurality of cycles, where each cycle comprises selecting a point on the cone trajectory, working backward from the starting point to reduce twist, providing a failure value if it is determined that when the twist reaches zero it is not possible to return to the origin at a final velocity of zero, and providing a success value if it is determined that when the twist reaches zero it is possible to return to the origin at a final velocity of zero. A plurality of cycles is performed, where each cycle comprises applying a magnetic resonance image excitation and scanning along the calculated cone trajectory and acquiring a readout.
