Vial adaptor for regulating pressure

ActiveUS7354427B2Jet injection syringesDiagnosticsVIAL ADAPTEREngineering

In certain embodiments, a vial adaptor for removing liquid contents from a vial includes a piercing member and a bag. The bag can be contained within the piercing member such that the bag is introduced to the vial when the vial adaptor is coupled with the vial. In some embodiments, the bag expands within the vial as liquid is removed from the vial via the adaptor, thereby regulating pressure within the vial. In other embodiments, a vial includes a bag for regulating pressure within the vial as liquid is removed therefrom. In some embodiments, a vial adaptor is coupled with the vial in order to remove the liquid.

Food cooking apparatus

InactiveUS6269737B1Lighting and heating apparatusWater-bath cooking vesselsMechanical engineeringLiquid content

A cooking apparatus includes a container, a spigot, a lid, and a food support. The container has a bottom surface and a side wall that extends upwardly from the bottom surface to a top edge of the side wall. The spigot is attached to the container side wall and has a valve member that is selectively positionable between opened and closed positions. The spigot valve member allows liquid contents of the container to drain from the container when in the opened position, and prevents the contents from draining out of the container when in the closed position. The food support is comprised of a perforated horizontal member with a perforated side wall extending upwardly from the horizontal member. A plurality of vertical members spaced around the periphery of the horizontal member extend upwardly from the horizontal member. The food support is dimensioned to fit within the interior of the container and some of the vertical members have top ends with integral support connectors that are adapted to engage with the side wall top edge to suspend the food support in a spaced relation from the container bottom surface.

InactiveUS20060255005A1Reduce internal volumeReduce needCapsThreaded caps applicationPositive pressureEngineering

A plastic container comprises an upper portion including a finish adapted to receive a closure, a lower portion including a base, and a sidewall extending between the upper portion and the lower portion. The upper portion, the lower portion, and the sidewall define an interior volume for storing liquid contents. The plastic container further comprises a pressure panel located on the container and moveable between an initial position and an activated position. The pressure panel is located in the initial position prior to filling the container, and is moved to the activated position after filling and sealing the container. Moving the pressure panel from the initial position to the activated position reduces the internal volume of the container and creates a positive pressure inside the container. The positive pressure reinforces the sidewall. A method of processing a container is also disclosed.

Encapsulation of sensitive liquid components into a matrix to obtain discrete shelf-stable particles

InactiveUS7201923B1Improve hydrophobicityPrevent and delays penetration of waterPowder deliveryBiocideSolid particleHeat sensitive

A liquid encapsulant component which contains an active, sensitive encapsulant, such as a live microorganism or an enzyme dissolved or dispersed in a liquid plasticizer is admixed with a plasticizable matrix material. The matrix material is plasticizable by the liquid plasticizer and the encapsulation of the active encapsulant is accomplished at a low temperature and under low shear conditions. The active component is encapsulated and / or embedded in the plasticizable matrix component or material in a continuous process to produce discrete, solid particles. The liquid content of the liquid encapsulant component provides substantially all or completely all of the liquid plasticizer needed to plasticize the matrix component to obtain a formable, extrudable, cuttable, mixture or dough. Removal of liquid plasticizer prior to extrusion is not needed to adjust the viscosity of the mixture for formability. Release of an active component from the matrix may be delayed or controlled over time so that the active component is delivered when and where it is needed to perform its intended function. Controlled release, discrete, solid particles which contain an encapsulated and / or embedded component such as a heat sensitive or readily oxidizable pharmaceutically, biologically, or nutritionally active component are continuously produced without substantial destruction of the matrix material or encapsulant.

Trigger spray container with integral straw guide

InactiveUS6059152ABottlesLiquid transferring devicesEngineeringDrinking straw

A trigger spray container that prevents dry firing and solves the problem of interupted spray as the containers contents are dispensed and reduced to a level that allows the end of straw tip of trigger spray apparatus to become disengaged with liquid as the container is tilted towards the users target. As the user inverts or rotates the container from a vertical position, downwardly, towards a horizontal plain and aims the spray tip output nozzel towards the intended target, the liquid level adjusts within the container. Therefore, it becomes advantageous for end of straw tip to be positioned at the lowest point on container base, side of container base nearest target. This is achieved by forming an integral straw guide molded into the container body that provides a ramp for the straw to be guided on, thereby directing the straw tip to this position. The straw length of the trigger spray apparatus is of sufficient length such that it travels on ramp of integral straw guide and engages with intended base corner as trigger spray apparatus becomes securably attached to the mouth opening of container. The liquid contents of the container can now be fully consumed, without pumping air during operation, as the consumer uses the product in its entirety.

InactiveUS20100325954A1Avoid shakingGasifier mechanical detailsGas purification by liquid washingSyngasCombustion chamber

A gasifier includes a combustion chamber in which a combustible fuel is burned to produce a syngas and a particulated solid residue. A quench chamber having a liquid coolant is disposed downstream of the combustion chamber. A dip tube is disposed coupling the combustion chamber to the quench chamber. The syngas is directed from the combustion chamber to the quench chamber via the dip tube to contact the liquid coolant and produce a cooled syngas. A draft tube is disposed surrounding the dip tube such that an annular passage is formed between the draft tube and the dip tube. An asymmetric or symmetric baffle is disposed proximate to an exit path of the quench chamber. The cooled syngas is directed through the annular passage and impacted against the asymmetric or symmetric baffle so as to remove entrained liquid content from the cooled syngas before the cooled syngas is directed through the exit path.
