The present invention relates to a novel multipurpose scoop device. The device is a scoop for water soluble powders, such as protein powders, baby formula powders, etc. The device comprises a scooping portion component with a holding cavity disposed at one end of the scoop device and a funnel component disposed at an opposing end of the scoop device. The scoop device attaches to the top of the lid of a powder container and a user rotates the scoop device to open the powder container and the holding cavity of the device. The user then inverts the powder container to fill the scoop device and rotates the scoop device again to close off the powder container. The user then removes the scoop device filled with powder from the powder container for use.

In some embodiments, a system for dispensing liquid from a container holding a liquid comprises a reservoir mountable to the container so as to be in fluidic communication with the container. The reservoir may comprise an inlet and an outlet. When mounted to the container, the reservoir may be configured to measure a predetermined quantity of liquid while in first orientation and to simultaneously dispense the predetermined quantity of liquid from the outlet and receive a refilling quantity of liquid through the inlet while in a second orientation that is angled relative to the first orientation above a threshold angle.

A dispensing system (100) includes a pour cap (102) which may be connected with the neck of a container (900). The cap base includes a main deck (108), a dispensing spout (110) and a venting tube (112). A flow regulator is mounted on the underside of the main deck such that the flow regulator restricts flow through the opening of the dispensing spout. In some embodiments, the flow regulator is a hinged spring-loaded baffle plate (116). In some embodiments, the flow regulator is a gravity ball valve (316). A visual timing device (200) may be advantageously located on the pour cap (102) so that the timing device is easily visible to a user during operation or use of the dispensing system. The constant flow rate provided by the flow regulator allows the timing device to more precisely measure each pour regardless of how much fluid is in the bottle.

The present disclosure provides a dosing cap. In an embodiment, the dosing cap includes (A) a collar member having an annular skirt depending from a base. An inner surface of the annular skirt has a securing member for securing the collar member to a neck of a container. The base includes (i) at least one opening with a one-way valve permitting fluid flow in a first direction, and (ii) an air channel with a one-way valve permitting fluid flow in a second direction. The dosing cap includes (B) a cap member having an annular sidewall extending from a dispensing element. An inner surface of the annular sidewall has an attachment member adjustably attached to a reciprocal attachment member on an outer surface of the first sidewall. The dosing cap includes (C) a metering chamber formed by an enclosed volume between the cap member and the base. The dosing cap includes (D) the dispensing element permitting flow of a fluid from the metering chamber.

A two-piece measured-dose dispensing closure (10) includes a cup-shaped measuring chamber (12) and a rotatable dispensing control lid (14). In use, the dispensing control lid is axially moved relative to the measuring chamber by rotation between a first closed position, a second intermediate dispensing position, and a third drain position.

An apparatus and method are provided to evaluate an amount of a biological sample in a specimen container. A fixture has a bottom surface configured to support a specimen container. A reference indicator is disposed at a predetermined height relative to the bottom surface. The reference indicator is configured to facilitate a visual comparison of the reference indicator with a height of a volume of a biological sample in the specimen container.

In one embodiment, the present disclosure includes a cloud computer system for controlling a plurality of remote devices comprising a cloud server including a cloud based operating system comprising a data model stored in a computer memory. The data model includes commands that may be performed by a plurality of remote devices in a remote system and, for each remote device, one or more operations for triggering processes executed by the remote device. The cloud based operating system generates a set of instructions from the plurality of commands and corresponding operations to control a portion of the remote devices to perform a task.

A dispenser (a) applicable to cap of a container (b) for granular and/or powdered products. The present dispenser (a) comprises a cylindrical body chute (10) with the required capacity, which is mounted with the possibility of relative rotation, on a virtual longitudinal (11) axis, in a cradle (2) formed on the wall of a lateral recess of the cap (b) of the container (c), being said chute provided with a projecting peripheral flap (14) acting as a manually operated turning means. The wall of the cradle (2) has an opening (3) facing the interior of the container (c) and the chute (10) has first and second openings (12-13) angularly separated. Chute (10) can run between a product loading position, with the first opening (12) facing the opening (3) of the cradle and the second opening (13) closed by the wall of the cradle, and a product discharge position, with the first opening (12) closed by the wall of the cradle (2) and the second opening (13) facing the outside of the cap.
