An insulated packaging assembly can include a box including a top side wall, a bottom side wall, a first lateral side wall, a second lateral side wall, a third lateral side wall, and a fourth lateral side wall the box defining a cavity; a first thermal liner positioned in the cavity, a first portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the top side wall, a second portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the first lateral side wall, a third portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the bottom side wall; and a second thermal liner defining a first end and a second end disposed opposite from the first end, the second thermal liner defining an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite from the inner surface.

Multicompartment water-soluble unit dose articles and methods of making them.

A re-useable partitioning seal used storage containers creates a virtually airtight chambers, to preserve products therein. A disc or differently shaped layer, with flat top and bottom surfaces, is configured to fit against the interior surface of a storage container. A thin, flexible perimeter forming a gasket around the layer, and a handle attached to the layer without fissure or cavity, thereby providing and a single piece, inexpensive re-useable partitioning seal.

Multicompartment water-soluble unit dose articles and methods of making them.

A multi-chambered shot glass for storing and transporting multiple liquids for consumption or mixing at a time after the chambers have been filled includes a first body portion comprising a first chamber and a second chamber, the first chamber and the second chamber separated by an inner partition. The first chamber has a first aperture configured to form a fixed first chamber rim and a seal covering the first aperture. The second chamber includes a second aperture configured to form a second chamber rim. A second body portion having a fixed third chamber includes a third aperture. The fixed third chamber is configured for insertion into the second chamber such that the third chamber engages the second chamber in a fluid sealed configuration.

A machine for dispensing an aerosol precursor composition for use with aerosol delivery devices. The machine may include a plurality of sources of dispensable, liquid aerosol precursor components. The plurality of sources may differ in the liquid aerosol precursor components being dispensable therefrom. The machine may include a user interface configured to allow a user to select an amount of the liquid aerosol precursor components for dispensing. The machine may also include a dispenser for dispensing the aerosol precursor components in response to the selection made on the user interface.

A method of forming a multi-chambered pouch includes filling a first liquid into a chamber of the pouch through an opening; forming a frangible seal above the first liquid to provide a first sub-chamber having the first liquid and an open second sub-chamber above the first sub-chamber; sealing the first liquid in the first sub-chamber; filling a second liquid into the second sub-chamber through the opening; forming a seal over the second liquid within the second sub-chamber; sealing the second liquid in the second sub-chamber; and forming a permanent seal that intersects the frangible seal to form a first retaining chamber, a second retaining chamber, a third retaining chamber, and a fourth retaining chamber, wherein the first retaining chamber and the second retaining chamber retain the first liquid, and wherein the third retaining chamber and the fourth retaining chamber retain the second liquid.

A packaging machine is provided for producing single and multiple compartment film wrapped pouches. Multiple linear motors allow aspects of the forming, filling, cutting and discharging to run at different speeds. The pouches are formed, filled and discharged from platens that are secured to movers that proceed through the packaging process by following magnetic fields created by independently controlled linear motors. Overall, cycle time is decreased as a result of speeding up parts of the process, including the platen return process, possible because there is no mechanical connection and not a single conveyor moving the platens while the other parts of the process may be simultaneously slowed down or even temporarily stopped. Changeover of platens, to accommodate different products, such as single compartment pouch to multiple compartment pouches, is also simplified because platens are simply connected to the movers and are thus easily removed and replaced.

To provide a drug discharge device capable of reducing complexity when distributing a drug into a manual distribution device. A drug discharge device includes a manual distribution member 15 that includes a plurality of recessed portions 20 in which a solid drug is distributed, discharge means that discharges the drug distributed in the recessed portions 20 to a downstream side directly or via another member, and a control device that controls the discharge means, in which the discharge means is capable of individually discharging a drug corresponding to a predetermined recessed portion 20, the control device assigns the same drug to the recessed portions 20 in adjacent regions based on prescription information including information on a drug to be provided to a plurality of patients or one patient, and the discharge means discharges the drugs in a predetermined order.

An insulated packaging assembly can include a box including a top side wall, a bottom side wall, a first lateral side wall, a second lateral side wall, a third lateral side wall, and a fourth lateral side wall the box defining a cavity; a first thermal liner positioned in the cavity, a first portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the top side wall, a second portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the first lateral side wall, a third portion of the first thermal liner positioned in contact with the bottom side wall; and a second thermal liner defining a first end and a second end disposed opposite from the first end, the second thermal liner defining an inner surface and an outer surface disposed opposite from the inner surface.
