“Match” controlled container

摘要

A secure safety container is made up with a base and a cover that can be locked together by an electric operated lock carried by the container. The top and base of the container together form a secure space within the container sized and configured to receive an article or articles. Also carried by the container are a CPU with a touch data entry screen, a rechargeable battery, date entry and infra red data entry ports, a tracking transponder and a thermister to provide humidity and temperature inputs to the CPU. After entry into the CPU of insert data relative to the article or articles to be secured within the secure space the electric lock may be activated to secure the container cover to its base. Upon entry of corresponding retrieve data into the CPU and the CPU determining that there is a “match” between the insert data and retrieve data the electric lock is operated by the CPU to permit access to the secure space within the container and retrieval of the article or articles therein. Such article or articles may be units of blood or uman organs to be “matched” to the patient to receive same or crime scene evidence for which a “chain of custody” is required or similar articles.
