A blood storage container for the anaerobic storage of blood, having enhanced sealing methods and materials for the preservation of stored blood is provided.

A gas-permeable element configured to close a receptacle base containing an active material, wherein the receptacle includes the receptacle base and the gas-permeable element. The gas-permeable element includes a body, having a base wall, including at least one opening. For each opening of the base wall, the body includes a tubular projection projecting from a periphery of the opening. The tubular projection includes a first end, connected to the periphery of the opening, a second end, defining a distal edge surface transverse to a longitudinal axis of the tubular projection. A porous membrane portion extends across the second end of the tubular projection while attached to the distal edge surface at its periphery.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, anti-static bag, and kit for transporting an electronic component in the anti-static bag. Along with the electronic component, a desiccant and a temperature indicator are added to the anti-static bag. The anti-static bag is then vacuum sealed to reduce the air and moisture in the anti-static bag. The vacuum sealed bag, desiccant, and temperature indicator, insure that the formation of condensation on the electronic component will be minimized, which will potentially prolong the life of the electronic component.

A food package suitable for manufacturing as a closed packaging system contains an amine-absorbent element comprising ammonium-exchanged mordenite (MOR) type zeolites and optionally further comprises ZnO-doped Faujasite (FAU) type zeolites and/or CuO-doped ZSM-5 type zeolites.

A moisture absorbing device, a method of preparing the device, and a method of reducing moisture inside of a food container with the device are disclosed. The device can include a carrier layer and an absorbent layer. The absorbent layer can include a hydrogel composition and, optionally, an adhesive. The device can further include a ventilation layer. The device can further include an attaching layer having an adhesive material on an exposed surface for attaching the device to the food container. The method of preparing the device can include a roll-to-roll assembly process. The method of reducing moisture inside of a food container with the device can include adding food to a first surface of the food container, attaching a moisture absorbing device to a second surface of the food container, and closing the food container.

In some examples, a package includes a package body enclosing a medical supply. The package body defines a window. The package includes a breathable membrane adjacent the package body and extending across the window. The package includes a moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the package body and extending across the breathable membrane. The package includes an adhesive layer configured to hold the moisture oxygen scavenger adjacent the breathable membrane. In some examples, a technique includes sterilizing a package precursor including the package body and the breathable membrane, and after the sterilizing, adhering the moisture oxygen scavenger to the package body to form the package.

Devices and methods for controlling humidity including an aqueous saturated solution of a salt and/or a sugar in combination with an additive in which all components of the saturated solution are food grade. The device may or may not include a container, such as a flexible pouch, encasing the aqueous saturated solution and/or an absorbent pad. The pouch or other container may be made of a material which is moisture permeable and liquid impermeable, for example, and the aqueous saturated solution further comprises a thickening agent. In some embodiments, the components of the aqueous saturated salt solution are separately contained in different compartments of the device container, and a user may activate the device to mix the components together.

A computer server includes processor and memory hardware. The processor hardware executes instructions including parsing a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) request from a first user agent to identify a first data object matching a set of characteristics and generating a new data element based on the HTTP request. The instructions include, in response to the first data object being present: extracting a first set of serialized data elements and serializing them with the new data element to generate a second data object. The instructions include, in response to the first data object being absent and a user associated with the first user agent being identifiable: determining a second set of serialized data elements based on an identity of the user, and serializing them with the new data element to generate the second data object. The instructions include transmitting an HTTP response including the second data object.

A packaging system that maintains the free flowing characteristic of solid materials contained therein. The packaging system includes a container, a cover, a vapor permeable bag, a vapor impermeable liner and at least two desiccant snakes. The vapor permeable bag has an opening for receiving solid materials and is formed from cloth or continuous fibers of high-density polyethylene that are randomly distributed and non-directional. The vapor impermeable liner surrounds the vapor permeable bag and provides a moisture barrier. The desiccant snakes are disposed between the vapor permeable bag and the liner. Each snake includes two or more desiccant packages formed from a vapor permeable material through which moisture can freely pass. The desiccant packages contain clay, silica, or molecular sieves.

A receptacle is designed for a chamber for an active substance. The receptacle includes two main elements. A first element is a transverse wall with a first main side facing an interior of the chamber, and a peripheral wall formed with the first main side of the transverse wall. A second element includes a bottom wall and a sheath extending from the bottom wall. The peripheral wall and the sheath surround one another and are in contact with each other so that the chamber is formed between the bottom wall, the transverse wall, the peripheral wall and/or the sheath. At least one ventilation groove is provided between the peripheral wall and the sheath form a ventilation channel connecting the chamber with the outside atmosphere.
