A dosing cup for delivery of medicinal fluid includes a base wall, a sidewall, a first gripping portion, and a second gripping portion. The sidewall extends from the base wall to an upper rim, thereby defining a medicinal fluid-receiving volume. The first gripping portion is formed at a first position of the sidewall. The second gripping portion is formed at a second position of the sidewall opposite the first position across the medicinal fluid-receiving volume. Each of the first gripping portion and the second gripping portion include one or more anti-nesting projections that extend from an outer surface of the sidewall a distance beyond an inner diameter of the upper rim.

An object of the present invention is to improve handling and maintenance of the apparatus, as well as determining the content quantity. To satisfy this object, the present invention proposes an apparatus having the features of claim 1. The bottle base is releasably attachable to the bottle body.

The invention refers to a pump actuating cap for a pump dispenser, the cap comprising a housing configured to be coupled with a pump to operate the pump. The cap further comprising: an electronic circuit, a power source to feed the electronic circuit, at least one antenna connected with the electronic circuit, and at least one pulse generator to activate the electronic circuit, and wherein the circuit, the power source, the antenna and the pulse generator are enclosed inside the housing. The pulse generator is arranged to be actuated by contacting with a pump, when the housing is operatively coupled with a pump. The electronic circuit has stored an unique identification code usable to identify the pump actuating cap, and wherein the electronic circuit is adapted such as when it is activated by the pulse generator, a signal containing the dispenser unique identification code, is transmitted by the antenna.

A stackable medication crushing container including a first medication container. The medication container includes a first set of indicia on a side of the medication container that depicts a measurement in milliliters. A second set of indicia is disposed on a side of the medication container that depicts a measurement in teaspoons and tablespoons. The medication container has a narrower base and a wider top opened section that will allow the container to be stackable. Further, the container includes a lid that creates a seal around the top opening. A crushing insert can be added to the bottom of a second container to allow medication to be crushed within the medication container.

Methods, assays, compositions and kits for the ligation of short polynucleotides are presented herein. The short polynucleotides are optionally no more than 7 nucleotides in length, and can be as short as 3 or 4 nucleotides in length. The ligation is optionally performed by CV ligase.

A device for measuring in real time the volume of a partially upturned bottle has a sleeve that extends around the upturned bottle with an open distal end and a closed proximal end. An accelerometer in the device determines the vertical direction and the angle between the vertical direction and the longitudinal axis of the bottle. Another accelerometer measures the force exerted by the bottle in the direction of the longitudinal axis. These parameters are used to calculate the total mass and volume of the upturned bottle. A dimmable screen displays the total mass, total volume, change in mass and/or change in volume.

In one embodiment there is provided a bottle assembly to dispense a liquid. The assembly includes a bottle, a syringe, a cap and collar. The assembly includes a child-resistant adult-friendly retaining portion to permit the removal of the cap and collar. The syringe is configured to draw liquid from the bottle at a precise dosage and then when the cap and collar is removed the user can expel the liquid.

A medicine dispensing device, configured to contain a liquid medicine to be dispensed by the medicine dispensing device and having a plurality of dosing indicia spaced apart from each other around and in relation to a circumference of a surface of the medicine dispensing device, each dosing indicia being of a different height relative to a reference level and corresponding to different dose of the liquid medicine.

A bottle, jar, decanter, vial, or other vessel with a dispenser apparatus integrated into a lid or cap designed and operative to engage an open top of the bottle is disclosed. The dispenser may be integrated with a structure of the cap, and may be configured and operative selectively to draw liquid from the reservoir and selectively to dispense liquid when the dispenser is disengaged from the open top of the reservoir.

A smart bottle used for storing liquids and medications is disclosed. The smart bottle includes electronics, memory, and a processor that causes alarms and reminders for user to take their medications in a timely manner.

The bottle shaped smart bottle is essentially an electronic device with liquid and medication storage compartments. It includes speaker for providing audible alerts to the users as well as their caregivers. It also includes a microphone that can be used by the user or caregiver to provide instructions relating to the intake of medication or to assist patients that have hand or finger arthritis.

The bottle has a longitudinal and circular body with a cap that can be twisted on/off at its top. The top, or the cap, is a smart cap that carries core intelligence and electronics. It comprises a microprocessor, in-built real-time clock, speaker and lights for intuitive alarms and microphone to hear the voice of user for ease of use.

The microprocessor is communicatively coupled through an electronic circuit to a plurality of electronic components housed within the smart bottle. These include alarms, microphone, displays, transmitter for sending out information, and an antenna for wireless connectivity.

The longitudinal main body of the smart bottle is circular in shape and includes a chamber for storing liquids, such as water or other liquid. It also has compartments on its front and back side for storing a plurality of pills and medications.

The smart bottle is wirelessly connected to a server. It has the capability of connecting to a patient database to obtain all patient related information as well as medication information and hours of administration information. The smart bottle fetches prescription data automatically when linked to Pharmacy. At the time of intake for a pill, the smart bottle reminds user for respective dosages through use of lights or audio alarms. The smart bottle also sends alerts to a caregiver and stored adherence and compliance data to a server. To do so, the smart bottle uses the transmitter to send alerts to mobile phone for reminding the user to take the medication or to send an alert to a caregiver.

The smart bottle also includes GSM and GPS modules. GPS mode allows the smart bottle to be located based on a GPS search. The GSM feature allows the user to make and receive calls from the smart bottle.

One method of operating the features of the smart bottle is through maneuvering and selecting preferences in a mobile application that is communicatively connected to the smart bottle. Another method of operating the features of the smart bottle is by having the user speak into the micro
