Abstract
Perishable products, such as food items or biological samples, often require specific temperature control to prolong their shelf life or maintain their integrity during storage and transportation. Supercooling, achieved by subjecting the products to pulsed electric fields, can effectively reduce their temperature while preserving their quality. The present disclosure addresses the various drawbacks in the related art by providing a method and system for selectively applying pulsed electric fields to perishable products using a plurality of electrodes. The method includes supplying power to different combinations of electrodes positioned within a container housing the perishable products, obtaining measurement data for each combination, selecting the combination based on the obtained measurement data, and applying a pulsed electric field between the selected electrodes to cool the perishable products.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
