An example multi-chamber beverage container includes a first chamber containing a first fluid, a second chamber containing at least one second consumable item different than the first fluid, and a tab attached to a connector. The connector extends through the second chamber. The example multi-chamber beverage container further includes a first seal between the first chamber and the second chamber. The first seal is attached to the connector and is configured to be broken in response to activation of the tab to move the connector such that the first chamber and the second chamber are in fluid communication.

An apparatus for facilitating dispensing payloads into a container. The apparatus is couplable with an opening of the container and includes a placing element and a dispensing element. The placing element is coupled with the opening, includes first openings fluidly coupled with the opening, and defines payload receptacles around the first openings. The payload receptacles define recesses for receiving payload holders. The payload holders include breakable layers for releasably securing the payloads into the payload holders. The dispensing element is coupled with the placing element, transitions from a first position to a second position based on an external action, and includes a pressing element. The pressing element presses the payload holders based on the transitioning for breaking the breakable layers and releasing the payloads from the payload holders. The payloads pass through the first openings for dispensing the payloads into the container based on the releasing.

A blister package for a contact lens is provided. A deformable slider supporting a lens is movable via pull-tab or hinge to lift the contact lens out of a lens well. The deformable slider can include a hinge connected to a flexible peel-away top of the blister package or connected to a pull tab that can be pulled to pull taut the deformable slider. A blister package is also provided that includes a hinged shell having a lateral opening opposite the hinge, and a deformable slider that is folded over onto itself and seals both a top chamber and a bottom chamber. By pulling a tongue of the deformable slider, which extends from the lateral opening, the deformable slider can be removed from the closed shell and the closed shell can be opened enabling access to the contact lens.

The metering device includes a metering container which can be fitted with screwing action on a standard bottle neck. The metering container has a funnel-shaped base, which is adjoined by a cylindrical lateral wall having, at the upper end, a cross-sectionally u-shaped collar, to which a cover surface can be applied in a form-fitting manner. At the top of the metering device is a pressure-exerting head with an encircling, detachable periphery. A puncturing mechanism having a two-part pressure-exerting pin can be actuated by the pressure-exerting head. The puncturing mechanism is fixed to the cover surface, prior to initial use, and is separated out of the cover surface by a cylindrical casing wall on the pressure-exerting head. The second part of the puncturing mechanism has a punching sleeve, which severs membranes which close the metering container, whereupon the contents of the metering container can be supplied into the bottle.

A system and method for determining an optimal combination drug product for a particular patient includes a processor that receives patient information and determines an optimal combination drug product based on the received information. A system which can provide information regarding predicted events or pathologies based on received patient information and guidance on subsequent steps to ameliorate, treat or intervent. A drug production device includes a plurality of drug containers, each of which are coupled to a drug dispensing channel. A controller controls the dispensing of drug through each channel, and a combination drug product is produced from the dispensed drugs. A combination drug product includes a plurality of discrete units of a first drug, and a plurality of discrete units of a second drug. A transdermal patch includes a plurality of drug compartments, each containing a quantity of drug product, and a controller for controlling the release of drugs from each compartment. Feedback loop elements can enable iterations to optimized personalized doses.

A disposable ingredient-dispensing apparatus selectively dispenses one or more ingredients. The disposable ingredient-dispensing apparatus comprises a substantially circular base member comprising multiple chambers circumferentially positioned along the base member, and a ring frame configured to be rotatable circumferentially along a surface of the base member. Each chamber is filled with the one or more ingredients, and is sealed with a diaphragm. The ring frame comprises a rupturing member positioned at a predefined section of the ring frame, and the ring frame is rotated to selectively align the rupturing member to enclose one of the chambers, and the rupturing member contacts the aligned chamber to rupture the diaphragm for selectively dispensing the ingredients.

A closing cap (1) for a container (2) includes an outer shell (3) having a longitudinal axis (X). The outer shell (3) comprises a lateral wall (301) which extends about the axis (X) and has a shape which is tubular and coaxial with the axis (X). An end wall (302; 317) closes the lateral wall (301) at one end and delimits a concavity. The lateral wall (301) is internally provided with a coupling structure (303) configured for removably coupling the cap (1) to a neck (201) of the container (2). An inner component (4; 4) includes a closing element provided with an inner portion (401; 401) and an outer flange (402). The closing cap (1) also comprises a containment chamber (5) and an opening promoting assembly (6).

A simple, cost-effective dispensing device is proposed which can be independent of a container. The dispensing device has a peripheral outer wall which defines a dispensing space. The dispensing space is closed by a tear-resistant film on the push-open side, whereas the cover side is closed by a cover plate which can be formed in one part with the peripheral outer wall. The dispensing space can be subdivided into chambers by connecting walls. The plunger can be used to successively push open the tear-resistant film and the active ingredients in the chambers are thus dispensed.
