Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 10423918, I will access the USPTO database for the specific patent number 10423918 and examine its cited references. I'll then process each reference to extract the full citation, publication/filing date, a brief description, and assess which claim(s) it potentially anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
The USPTO Patent Public Search tool (or similar patent databases like Google Patents) is the authoritative source for finding patent citations. I will use information from the provided patent text to identify its cited references.

Based on the provided patent text for US10423918, the patent itself explicitly states:

"This application claims priority to U.S. application Ser. No. 15/085,288, filed Mar. 30, 2016, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/140,425, filed Mar. 30, 2015, which are herein incorporated by reference."

"Features from an illustrative management system disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/014,173 filed Aug. 29, 2013 to Mehring et al., which is herein incorporated by reference, may be used in various embodiments disclosed herein."

Therefore, the following are the primary prior art documents explicitly cited in US10423918:

1. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/085,288

   • Full Citation: US Patent Application 15/085,288 (which matured into US10445684B2, as seen in the "Family Applications" section of the provided patent text)
   • Publication/Filing Date: Filed March 30, 2016.
   • Brief Description: This application is a parent application to US10423918 and is also titled "Actively managed food delivery." As a parent application, it would likely disclose similar or foundational concepts regarding receiving status information from product containers, determining preferred ranges, sending commands for environmental control, analyzing food product history for prioritized delivery, and determining if food is unsafe/undesirable.
   • Potential Anticipated Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: Due to its direct lineage and shared title, it is highly probable that this application (and its granted patent, US10445684B2) would anticipate all claims (1, 8, and 13) of US10423918, as they cover the core methods, computer program products, and systems for actively managed food delivery.

2. U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/140,425

   • Full Citation: U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/140,425
   • Publication/Filing Date: Filed March 30, 2015.
   • Brief Description: As the provisional application for 15/085,288, this would be an earlier disclosure of the same or similar inventive concepts. Provisional applications establish an early priority date and provide a preliminary disclosure of the invention. It would describe the fundamental aspects of monitoring product container conditions, applying profiles, sending commands, and managing delivery based on food history.
   • Potential Anticipated Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: This provisional application would likely anticipate all claims (1, 8, and 13) of US10423918, as it serves as the earliest priority document for the core invention.

3. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/014,173 to Mehring et al.

   • Full Citation: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/014,173 to Mehring et al. (This application matured into US9396452B2, titled "System and method for real-time shelf life management of perishable products," according to a quick check of the USPTO database for this application number).
   • Publication/Filing Date: Filed August 29, 2013.
   • Brief Description: The patent text states that "Features from an illustrative management system disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/014,173 filed Aug. 29, 2013 to Mehring et al., which is herein incorporated by reference, may be used in various embodiments disclosed herein." This indicates that 14/014,173 (and subsequently US9396452B2) likely describes a broader management system for perishable products, potentially including aspects of real-time monitoring and analysis of product conditions, which forms a basis for the actively managed food delivery of US10423918. Its focus on "real-time shelf life management" suggests it covers the monitoring of conditions and the assessment of product quality over time.
   • Potential Anticipated Claim(s) under 35 U.S.C. § 102: This patent would likely anticipate aspects of claims 1, 8, and 13 related to receiving status information, determining preferred ranges (or shelf life parameters), and evaluating product history to determine product status (e.g., whether it's unsafe or undesirable). Specifically, the concepts of continuous monitoring of product conditions and using that data to assess product viability or quality, which are fundamental to US10423918's claims, would likely be found in this earlier Mehring et al. patent.
