The present application provides a unique way for storing cigars, and medicines in a portable environmental storage container system. The portable environmental storage container system can comprise a lid, an inner compartment, an outer container, electronics, and a bottom enclosure. An inner compartment can slide in and out of an outer container and seal shut with a seal keeping the inside of the container air tight with the humidity kept in when sealed, or the humidity out if none is desired. After the contents have been stored within the portable environmental storage container the user can monitor the contents inside the container with a portable computing device in real time.

A system for purifying incoming fluid is provided that is modular and includes a heat exchanger module, an evaporator-condenser module and a compressor. The system is configured to facilitate passive drainage of the purified fluid for collection. The system components are arranged in a stacked configuration to facilitate gravitational flow of the purified fluid such that the purified fluid drains passively for collection. A system for preparation of ready-to-use treatment fluid is also provided including the modular fluid purification system, a preparation station and a coupling device. The components are configured to be retained in a portable carrier that is manually operable for improved access to and mobility of the components. A coupling device for use in connecting flow channels of a plurality of components and for use in preparing ready-to-use dialysate is also provided, A further system for preparation of a receptacle and a ready-to-use treatment fluid in the receptacle is also provided.

A feeding-bottle cover includes a feeding-bottle cover body shaped like a cake or sphere, a heating component, and a controlling component. A nipple portion is provided on an upper surface of the feeding-bottle cover body. A feeding-bottle port is provided on a lower surface of the feeding-bottle cover body. A channel is provided between the feeding-bottle port and the nipple portion. The heating component and the controlling component are disposed inside the feeding-bottle cover body and electrically connected to each other. The heating component and the controlling component are electrically coupled to each other and disposed inside the feeding-bottle cover, and the heating component can be controlled by the controlling component to heat the feeding-bottle cover body so as to simulate a body temperature.

Teething devices include a flexible teething member having a hollow interior and partially defining a cavity. A swallow shield coupled with the flexible teething member has a hollow interior and partially defines the cavity. The swallow shield is configured to prevent swallowing of the teething device. A reservoir coupled with the swallow shield has a hollow interior partially defining the cavity. In some implementations an opening in the reservoir provides access to the cavity for introduction and removal of a liquid/gel therefrom, and a closure member is configured to couple with the reservoir in a liquid-tight configuration. In other implementations the cavity is permanently sealed with liquid/gel therein—the teething device including no opening to access the cavity. In implementations the flexible teething member forms a nipple shape. In other implementations it is shaped and sized to simultaneously contact all twenty deciduous teeth of an infant.

A production line is, suitable for the production of medicinal products that include at least one active ingredient. The production line includes an extruder for producing an extrudate from the active ingredient and at least one excipient intended to form an encapsulating matrix of the active ingredient, and a cooling member for cooling the extrudate at the outlet of the extruder. The extruder includes a barrel and at least two parallel screws housed in the barrel and interpenetrating with one another to mix the or each active ingredient with the or each excipient. The barrel is oriented vertically and the footprint occupied by the production line is less than 0.5 m.sup.2.

A drinking/feeding container and method for delivering fluid to a user at a drinking/feeding temperature which is higher than a storage temperature of the fluid. The container includes a fluid storage compartment, a lid and a heating device. The heating device is positioned between the fluid storage compartment and the lid. The heating device has an inlet which accepts the fluid from the fluid storage compartment, an outlet which dispenses the fluid to the lid and a passageway which extends between the inlet and the outlet. A Peltier device is provided between the inlet and the outlet and cooperates with the passageway to heat the fluid as the fluid moves from the inlet to the outlet. A power source supplies power to the heating device. A pulsing member pulses the power to the heating device whereby the pulsing of the power prevents the heating element from overheating.

Provided are a smart bottle and a method for controlling the smart bottle. A smart bottle comprises a bottle for containing liquid; a base formed to be combined to one side of the bottle; a first sensor installed in the bottle or the base, and configured to obtain level information of liquid contained in the bottle; a third sensor configured to obtain inclination information of the bottle; a heater configured to heat the liquid contained in the bottle; a controller configured to control operation of the heater based on the temperature information, determine a feeding start and a feeding end based on the inclination information, and modify the level information based on the inclination information; a communication unit configured to transmit the inclination information and the level information to an external device; and a battery configured to supply power to the first sensor and the base.

A fluid heating device for on demand heating of fluids for feeding a child includes a pipe that is coupled to and extends from a control module, which comprises a power module. A first and a second tube are coupled to and extend from a first and a second end of the pipe, respectively. A terminus of the first tube is positionable in a reservoir that contains a fluid. A nipple that is coupled to the second tube distal from the pipe is configured to be positioned in a mouth of a child, positioning the child to suck on the nipple to draw the fluid from the reservoir through the first tube into the pipe. A heating element in the pipe heats the fluid as it passes through the pipe. The fluid then passes through the second tube and a hole in the nipple into the mouth of the child.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed generally to multilayer films suitable for use in forming pouches, such as (but not limited to) bioprocessing pouches. When used in the formation of solution pouches, the disclosed films help prevent or reduce the number of seal failures, such as during transportation or use. The disclosed films comprise first and second vibration dampening layers and first and second barrier layers.

A continuous skin packaging and coating apparatus and a coating method for tablets. The continuous skin packaging and coating apparatus comprises a lower coating film unreeling roller, a waste edge reeling roller, an upper coating film unreeling roller, a lower coating heating component, an upper coating heating component, a first mold provided with a first table placing hole, a second mold provided with a second tablet placing hole, a heat-sealing plate, a cutting component, a blank tablet implanting component, and an operating mesa. The lower coating film unreeling roller and the waste edge reeling roller are provided on either side of the operating mesa. The lower coating film heating component, the blank tablet implanting component, the upper coating film unreeling roller, the upper coating film heating component, the heat-sealing plate, and the cutting component are sequentially provided above the operating mesa. The first mold is provided under the operating mesa below the blank tablet implanting component. The second mold is provided under the operating mesa below the heat-sealing plate.
