According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for impact detection and indication is disclosed. The device includes a housing; a mass member located within the housing, the housing configured to enable movement of the mass member from a first position to a second position within the housing in response to receipt by the housing of an acceleration event; and first and second spring members disposed within the housing and configured to bias the mass member to the first position, wherein, in response to receipt by the housing of the acceleration event, the mass member is configured to overcome the biasing force of the first spring member and move from the first position to the second position, and wherein each of the first and second spring members extends across a medial portion of the mass member.

System, method and computer program product for monitoring temperature
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a device and technique for monitoring temperature of an environment of a sensitive object is disclosed. The device includes a housing configured to be disposed within or affixed to a transport container for the object, a sensor coupled to the housing and configured to obtain a plurality of temperature readings, and monitor logic configured to compare the plurality of temperature readings to a temperature threshold. The device also includes counter logic configured to generate an excursion count indicating a quantity of time periods the temperature readings exceeded the temperature threshold, generate a consecutive count indicating a quantity of consecutive temperature readings exceeding the temperature threshold, and generate a cumulative count indicating a cumulative quantity of temperature readings exceeding the temperature threshold.

Impact detectors, namely, detectors for measuring and indicating when a pre-determined physical impact has been received by an article to which it is associated; [ Temperature detectors, namely, detectors for monitoring the environmental conditions a product or package is subjected to during shipping, storage or production and indicating when the product or package has been subjected to predetermined environmental conditions; Electronic temperature recorders; Electronic impact recorders; ] Tilt detectors, namely, detectors for measuring and indicating when a pre-determined degree of tilt has been received by an article to which it is associated [; Equipment monitors, namely, electronic devices for monitoring and limiting operation of forklifts, vehicle pushers, trailer movers, tugs and other motorized material handling equipment, impact detection and recording, access control, operator certification tracking, battery voltage monitoring, safety checklist tracking and vehicle activity and maintenance alerts ]
The tilt detector (14) has a container with a receptacle (36) located therein. The receptacle has open and closed ends (44, 40). In its normal, upright orientation, a first mass (38) is located inside of the receptacle. A second mass (26) is located adjacent to the open end of the receptacle. When the receptacle is in its normal, upright orientation, the second mass is located above the receptacle and blocks the exit of the first mass from the receptacle even when the first mass moves in response to vibration frequencies to which the first mass is sensitive. When the receptacle is tilted beyond a predetermined angle, the second mass moves from its blocking position so as to allow the first mass to exit the receptacle. A tilting indication occurs when the first mass has exited the receptacle.
