A system for indicating tampering of a container (such as a life vest box within an internal cabin of a vehicle) includes a base configured to be secured to a door of the container. A retainer is configured to be secured to a portion of a housing of the container. A tamper indicator includes a flag coupled to the base, and a tether extending from the flag. The tether is coupled to the retainer. The tether includes a weakened area that is configured to break to separate the flag from the base in response to the door of the container being opened.

An automated stopper and opener includes: a sleeve housing that is able to fit within a neck of a container; a mechanical feature that is able to vary a force applied to an internal surface of the sleeve such that a seal is able to be formed or released within the neck of the container; and an electronic controller that is able to manipulate the force applied to the internal surface of the sleeve by at least partly directing operations of the mechanical feature. An automated stopper includes: a cylindrical sleeve; a mechanical element that fits within the cylindrical sleeve and has a variable outer diameter; a communication interface that is able to receive commands from a user device; and a controller that is able to interpret the received commands and direct the mechanical element to control the variable outer diameter. A system includes automated stoppers and a user device.

A capsule cap for a beverage container of the present invention includes: a cylindrical lower coupling unit (10) keeping an additive (A) therein; a cutting unit (20) having a cylindrical cutting body (21) inserted in a lower body (11) and vertically moving down to cut a seal (12) so that the additive (A) drops; and an upper coupling unit (30) disposed over the lower coupling unit (30) to be turned and vertically move the cutting unit (20), in which drinking water contained in the beverage container an additive are separately kept, so the drinking water and the additive are prevented from spoiling. Further, spiral guides are formed, so torque is easily changed into straight force, thereby achieving easy cutting and opening.

A container having: a bag body including an internal space to accommodate a content; an opening formed in the bag body and communicating the internal space to an outside of the container; and a fastener to open and close the opening, wherein the fastener includes a high engaging-strength portion and a low engaging-strength portion, the engaging strength of the low engaging-strength portion is less than the engaging strength of the high engaging-strength portion, the fastener includes a female track and a male track, and the low engaging-strength portion is a part of the fastener in which at least one of the female track and the male track is collapsed.

A closure body (40) is provided for installation with a liner membrane (52) on a container (44). The closure body (40) has a peripheral portion (74) for being mounted on the container (44) around an access opening (48), and a separable portion (82) that (i) is disposed laterally inwardly of the peripheral portion (74); (ii) is initially connected to the peripheral portion (74) by at least one frangible connection (86); and (iii) can be separated from the peripheral portion (74) upon breaking of the at least one frangible connection (86).

The present disclosure relates to an automated assay system adapted to receive consumables in the conduct of an assay. The assay system includes at least one of a loading cart, a door support system, a waste storage unit, and a robotic subsystem. The loading cart is configured to organize and transport consumables necessary for the performance of the assay system. The door support system is configured to maintain stability of doors of the automated assay system. The waste storage unit is configured to provide convenient disposal of consumables associated with the automated assay system. The robotic subsystem is configured to transport consumables within the automated assay system.

A removable closure assembly has a cap making a liquid-tight seal with a tri-clamp assembly to the open end of a filter assembly body. The closure assembly has a filter which fits within the filter body. To aid in separating the closure assembly from the body, the cap has an outwardly extending shaft fixed thereto. The shaft is terminated by a radially protruding stop block. A handle is slidable on the shaft and functions as a slide hammer weight with an end wall facing the cap through which the shaft extends. The handle is movable to strike the shaft stop block and apply a force to the stop block and shaft for separating the cap from the body. The stop block has axial channels allowing a clean out of place system to exchange cleaning fluid with an interior volume of the handle.

A thermal insulation canister includes a canister body and a thermal insulation cover. The thermal insulation cover includes an upper cover body, a sealing ring, an adjusting frame, a pressure valve, a trigger and an inner cover body, each of two sides of the trigger is equipped with a trigger connecting shaft, the upper cover body is equipped with two installation holes. The trigger connecting shaft is slidably connected to the installation hole. Two adjusting shafts are fixedly installed on an upper end surface of the adjusting frame. The two adjusting shafts passes is rotatably connected with the trigger connecting shaft. The trigger connecting shaft is configured to drive the adjusting shaft to move in a vertical direction. The sealing ring is positioned between the upper cover body and the adjusting frame. The canister body is further equipped with an inner canister body.

A bottle stopper adapted for self-opening and self-plugging a bottle, comprising a cylindrical cover having a bottom end and a top end. The cylindrical cover is sized and shaped to plug a bottle. A cartridge is encompassed by the cylindrical cover and has a fluid chamber; the cartridge also has at least one lateral protrusion thereon to form between the cartridge and the cylindrical cover. There is at least one fluid channel for fluidly connecting between a space below the bottom end and above the top end. A conduit having at least one inlet and at least one outlet is for fluidly connecting transferring the fluid of the fluid chamber to outside of the bottle stopper. An activation cap is mounted to push the conduit along a longitudinal axis of the cylindrical cover from a closed state to an open state.
