Blister pack is a term for several types of pre-formed plastic packaging used for small consumer goods, foods, and for pharmaceuticals. The primary component of a blister pack is a cavity or pocket made from a formable web, usually a thermoformed plastic. This usually has a backing of paperboard or a lidding seal of aluminum foil or plastic. A blister that folds onto itself is often called a clamshell.
Blister package with electronic content monitoring system
InactiveUS7113101B2Universal applicabilityEfficient operabilityContainer decorationsLevel indicationsMonitoring systemBlister pack
A replicate can be secured to a blister package intended to contain articles, such as pills, and is used to record the removal of individual articles from the blisters. To remove an article from a blister one will usually press against the blister to push the article through a frangible closure seal, breaking the seal in the process. The replicate includes a backing sheet which carries a plurality of traces alignable with corresponding blisters so that when the article is removed from the blister it will not only break the seal but it will also break the corresponding trace. All of the traces are connected to an integrated circuit which may also be formed or provided on the backing sheet, as is a power source for the integrated circuit. The breaking of the trace is an event that is recorded in the integrated circuit for later accessability. The replicate may be secured to the blister package after the package has been produced by conventional form-fill-seal equipment. The individual traces can be formed into a grid of closely spaced traces so that alignment of the traces with the individual blisters is less critical. The replicates may be formed by printing or other conventional methods on a roll of lidstock. After forming the individual replicates are severed from the roll of lidstock for securement to a blister package.

Assays Based on Liquid Flow over Arrays
InactiveUS20110207621A1Highly consistent quantitative multiplex assaysLow costLibrary screeningFlexible member pumpsFritBlister pack
Flow-through assay reaction chamber (6) of cassette has back and forth liquid mixing in narrow gap (G) over array of capture agent (S), with net flow advance to waste confinement (19), produced by reversible pumps (3 or 12), operable with rolling diaphragm action with at least limited elastic recovery that advance sample or buffer liquids through conditioning paths (4A, 8, 8′, 9, 14, 15, 15′) before reaching the reaction chamber (6). A single pump produces accurate flow control, liquid conditioning, e.g., liquefying dry reagent from internal surfaces of flow-dividing material (14a, 15A, 15A′, e.g. open cell foam or frit), heating (4A), and air bubble removal (8, 8′, 9), as well as replenishment of reagent while accomplishing mixing within the flow-through reaction chamber (6). Lower viscosity buffer liquid is arranged to propel higher viscosity reagent, the flow-dividing storage material preserving reagent concentration. A blister pack (11) acts as a reversible pump (12) in producing accurate forward and backward flows with the net flow advance. Cascaded bubble traps (8, 9) on the cassette render the system tolerant of minor pumping error during cassette priming.

Intelligent Refrigerator for Storing Pharmaceutical Product Containers
Intelligent refrigerator system for storing pharmaceutical product containers, such as vials, ampules, syringes, bottles, medication tubes, blister packs and cartons, at the point of dispensing. Embodiments of the invention use product identification technology, such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and readers, to uniquely identify containers as they are added to or removed from the cold storage compartment of the refrigerator, and automatically retrieve from a local or remote database a variety of details associated with the containers and their contents, such as manufacturing data, expiration dates, time out of refrigeration, inventory levels, safety information, usage statistics, known contraindications and warnings, etc. If the details indicate that there is a problem with a particular pharmaceutical (e.g., that it is counterfeit, expired, suspect, spoiled, recalled or almost depleted), then a message or warning is automatically delivered to a human operator via an attached output device, such as a display screen, speaker or printer. Embodiments of the invention may also be configured to monitor and report temperature faults, power failures and other anomalies associated with the refrigerator or cold storage compartment.

Blister pack content usage monitoring
ActiveUS8960440B1Save battery powerExtended service lifeSmall article dispensingPharmaceutical containersElectrical resistance and conductanceVoltage ratio
A system is provided for monitoring the removal of blister pack contents. An array of spatially-extended, electrically parallel breakable traces made from electrically resistive material is formed behind a corresponding array of blisters of a blister card. Then this array is connected in series with a reference resistor to form a voltage divider. All resistive traces are formed from the same materials in a single operation. Blister breakage is determined using changes in the ratio of the resistances of the array and the divider. A predictive algorithm is used to adjust the threshold resistance ratio change that signals blister breakage and voltage ratios are used to adjust for battery output changes over time. Breakage events and their time of occurrence are recorded in nonvolatile memory for later retrieval. Additional resistors can be used for activating the system and detecting tampering.

Security for blister packs
Various RFID based blister pack embodiments are provided for improving the ability to detect and prevent tampering and counterfeiting of blister packs and / or facilitating the chain of custody tracking of blister packs during manufacture. Some embodiments employ an RFID chip network on the blister pack and some embodiments employ an RFID strap network on the blister pack, wherein the integrity of the network (or lack thereof) is used to indicate the possibility of tampering. Other embodiments determine the possibility of tampering based on the frequency of an RF signal that is received from a chip provided on the blister pack, which will vary depending on whether the associated antenna has been detuned as a result of some type of tampering.

Environmentally separable packaging device with attaching base
The present invention generally relates to a bubble package which allows a product to be displayed independently standing alone or hanging from a bracket / shelf, and also provides the ability to separate the paper and plastic portions of the package into at least two separate environmentally recycled portions. The paper based portion of the package operates as a display card and / or as a stiffener. The sides of the one or more display cards are bonded to one another to enclose the product within the plastic and prevent tampering with the product. The plastic portion, in addition to containing and displaying the product therein, optionally incorporates a base near the bottom of the package. The base protrudes from the bottom of the package and secures back onto the plastic portion via a securing mechanism. This arrangement allows the package to stand independent. Optionally, a corrugated plastic insert can be used to provide additional support to the unit. In a typical arrangement, the plastic portions and paper portions avoid being bonded or directly adhered to one another, allowing the card to be entirely separable and allowing for complete environmental recyclability.
