A sealed pharmaceutical container includes a shoulder, a neck extending from the shoulder, and a flange extending from the neck. The flange includes an inclined sealing surface defining an opening in the sealed pharmaceutical container. The sealed pharmaceutical container also includes a sealing assembly including a stopper extending over the sealing surface of the flange and a cap securing the stopper to the flange. The stopper has a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) that is greater than or equal to −70° C. and less than or equal to −45° C. The sealing assembly maintains a helium leakage rate of the sealed pharmaceutical container of less than or equal to 1.4×10.sup.−6 cm.sup.3/s as the sealed pharmaceutical container is cooled to a temperature of less than or equal to −45° C.

Provided is a vacuum-pumping bottle stopper, comprising a base, a shell which can enclose a cavity with the base, a vacuum-pumping device arranged in the cavity and used for pumping out air in a bottle to form a vacuum, a temperature measurement unit, and a temperature display unit, wherein the temperature measurement unit is used for measuring the temperature in the bottle; and the temperature display unit is electrically connected to the temperature measurement unit and is used for displaying the temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit. The temperature measurement unit and the temperature display unit are integrated on the vacuum-pumping bottle stopper, such that the temperature of the liquid in the bottle can be conveniently measured, thereby improving the use satisfaction for a user.

A sealed pharmaceutical container comprises a flange comprising an underside surface, an outer surface extending from the underside surface, the outer surface defining an outer radius r.sub.o of the flange; and an upper surface extending between the outer surface and an inner surface defining an opening in the sealed pharmaceutical container. The upper surface comprises a sealing region extending between the opening and the outer surface and comprising a radius r.sub.sr that is less than r.sub.o. The sealed pharmaceutical container also comprises a sealing assembly comprising sealing portion in contact with the upper surface at a lower surface of the sealing portion and a cap compressing the stopper against the upper surface. After compression, the sealing portion of the stopper comprises a compressed radius r.sub.sc that is less than r.sub.sr adjacent the upper surface.

A beverage container closure or lid adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be opened by pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the button is released. Thus, the user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container. The beverage container closure includes an actuating lever configured to press the button when a user applies a force to the lever. By utilizing the mechanical advantage provided by the lever, a user is able to selectively open and close the stopper using a relatively low amount of force.

An example security device includes a tag and a sled. The tag may include a security element, a receiving recess, a locking channel adjacent to the receiving recess, and a slug biased towards a sled facing surface of the tag. The sled may include a base having a tab extending therefrom, an adhesive applied to a product facing surface of the base for applying the sled to a product, and a cavity in the base having an opening on a tag facing surface of the base.

A sealed pharmaceutical container includes a shoulder, a neck extending from the shoulder, and a flange extending from the neck. The flange includes an inclined sealing surface defining an opening in the sealed pharmaceutical container. The sealed pharmaceutical container also includes a sealing assembly including a stopper extending over the sealing surface of the flange and a cap securing the stopper to the flange. The stopper has a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) that is greater than or equal to −70° C. and less than or equal to −45° C. The sealing assembly maintains a helium leakage rate of the sealed pharmaceutical container of less than or equal to 1.4×10.sup.−6 cm.sup.3/s as the sealed pharmaceutical container is cooled to a temperature of less than or equal to −45° C.

Disclosed is a container stopper (100) coupled to a container inlet (12) of a container (10) in which content is held, the container stopper comprising: a stopper body (110) that is coupled to the container inlet (12) and has, on the upper side thereof, an auxiliary space (S1) in which auxiliary content (42) having a granular structure is held; and an upper cover (120) that is coupled to the stopper body (110), forms the auxiliary space (S1) together with the stopper body (110), and covers the auxiliary space (S1).

The invention features a method of reconditioning a fluid container including heating for at least one cycle the fluid container to a select temperature for a select time duration; sealing for at least one cycle the fluid container; cooling for at least one cycle the fluid container to a select vacuum for a select time duration in an interior of the fluid container; wherein the select vacuum and the select time duration of the cooling step are selected to draw substantially a fluid from at least one of a pore, a cell and a fiber of the fluid container to a surface of the fluid container. The invention also features methods of infusing an infusion agent into a reconditioned fluid container, and methods for preparing construction materials, devices adapted for the construction material preparation methods, and construction materials including wood reconditioned and prepared in accordance with the methods of the invention.

A method for authenticating a closure assembly of a container including a closure and an over pack covering at least the closure. The overpack including a first radio frequency identification tag having a first unique identifier, the method includes reading the first unique identifier the closure including a second radio frequency identification tag including a second unique identifier and a storage unit including at least data relating to an overpack/closure pair including the unique identifiers of a closure and an overpack associated with the closure reading the first unique identifier and comparing the identifiers of the overpack and of the closure thus read to verify that the pair being authenticated does coincide with the pair defined in the data assembly, emitting a communication signal corresponding to the result of the verification, the closure assembly including means for destroying at least one of the identification tags when the container is opened.

A container cap combined with a flavoring member extending downward into a container that the container cap engages. When the container cap is operatively associated with the opening of the container, a portion of the flavoring member is immerse in a fluid of the container. The flavoring member provides one or more flavor elements adapted to be drawn into the fluid through capillarity.
