Composition for aerosol cans, method of making and using the same
A volatile organic compound (VOC) free low radiant flux radiation curable composition for aerosol containers including an acrylate-terminated compound component, a thiol monomer or oligomer component, a photoinitiator component, a surface additive component, and an ethanol-based reducer, wherein the composition does not include an acetone component. Moreover, other implementations are directed towards methods of using the aerosol containers to apply the UV Curable Composition.
PORTABLE HUMIDOR
A portable humidor includes a hollow rectangular housing defining an open upper end, a lower end, and an interior space in which a plurality of cigars is receivable. A follower in the interior space is configured to bias the plurality of cigars toward the open upper end of the housing. A cap is configured to releasably close the open upper end of the housing around the plurality of cigars. The follower, cap, or housing defines a compartment in which a humidifier is receivable to regulate humidity in the interior space when the cap closes the open upper end of the housing. The assembled portable humidor resembles a magazine for a firearm.
Medical delivery devices and methods for applying a barrier composition to a targeted skin surface
Some embodiments of a system or method for applying a barrier composition to a targeted skin surface can be used to as a preventative measure to reduce the likelihood of transmission of microbial entities from an external source (e.g., a floor surface or another surface) to the targeted skin surface.
CONTACT LENS DISPENSER
A new contact lens dispenser provides one-touch contact lens handling capabilities. The contact lens dispenser is designed to house a plurality of contact lenses in individual pods, each of which in turn contains a solution to keep the contact lens hydrated. The contact lens dispenser is equipped with an actuator that allows a contact lens to be dispensed out of its pod onto a fingertip ready for insertion in the eye.
VESSELS AND METHODS FOR CRYOPRESERVATION
An article including, either: a frame having an interior cavity, and a flexible liner situated within the interior cavity; or a deformable frame having an interior cavity, as defined herein.
Either frame can receive a sample, such as liquid having suspended live cells, and cooling freezes the sample to a solid sample. The solid sample can be readily ejected from the article having either a frame with the flexible liner, or the deformable frame, without extensive thawing. The solid sample can be rapidly displaced from the article by the methods and apparatus disclosed herein.
Reusable dispenser and cartridge
A product dispensing apparatus including a reusable product dispenser and a refill cartridge configured to releasably couple to the reusable product dispenser. The reusable product dispenser includes a housing defining a longitudinal axis, a base rotatably coupled to a proximal portion of the housing, and a telescope assembly. The base is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis in a first direction and a second direction. The telescope assembly includes a proximal section and a distal section movable relative to the proximal section along the longitudinal axis defined by the housing between a collapsed condition and an extended condition. At least one of the proximal section or the distal section is operably coupled to the base such that rotation of the base about the longitudinal axis causes corresponding rotation of the telescope assembly about the longitudinal axis.
Press-type dispensing container
A press-type dispensing container that includes an outer case that includes a hollow tube portion and a compressible region; and an inner member including a support portion that is configured to support a personal care product, wherein the inner component is contained within the outer case and is configured to migrate towards the shaft portion when the compressible region of the outer case is compressed by a user is presented.
FLUID-PRODUCT DISPENSER
A fluid dispenser comprising a fluid reservoir (R) in which the fluid is stored under pressure, and a fluid outlet valve (6) that is actuatable from a closed position to an open position so as to define a dispenser orifice (53) in a dispenser wall (51), the outlet valve (6) including a movable member (62) that bears in sealed manner against the seat (52) in the closed position and that is not in contact with the seat (52) in the open position, the outlet valve (6) including an actuator member (65) for moving the movable member (62) between the closed and open positions, the fluid dispenser being characterized in that the movable member (62) and the actuator member (65) should both be arranged on a pivot lever (61).
ELECTRONIC VAPORISER SYSTEM
An electronic cigarette vaporiser is not dis-assembled for filling with e-liquid, but is instead filled from a user-replaceable e-liquid cartridge. The vaporiser includes a front section comprising a wick and heating assembly but no e-liquid cartridge, the front section being removably fitted to a body of the vaporiser to enable a replacement front section to be used once the original wick or heating element starts to degrade, that replacement front section being supplied to the end-user with no e-liquid in it.
ELECTRONIC VAPORISER SYSTEM
An electronic cigarette vaporiser that includes a heating element and further includes or co-operates with an electronics module that (i) detects characteristics of the delivery of power, current or voltage to the heating element and (ii) determines if those characteristics are associated with degradation of the heating element. A characteristic that is associated with degradation of the heating element is an increase or other change in the heating element resistance. The heating element resistance can be established by the electronics module sending a test current through the heating element that is sufficient to enable a measurement of resistance to be made.
