Publication number: 20140246349Abstract: A pharmacy bottle system includes a bottle and a ring. The bottle is formed as a single piece of molded plastic material and includes a body and a neck. The body defines an interior cavity. The interior cavity extends from a first end to a second end of the interior cavity. The body includes a spine portion covering the first end of the interior cavity. The spine portion defines a spine width measured from a front to a back of spine portion. The neck extends from the second end of the interior cavity and has an opening therethrough providing access to the interior cavity. The ring is secured about the neck of the bottle. The ring defines a ring width measured between a front and a back of the ring. The ring width is larger than the spine width. The neck extends above a top surface of the ring.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2014Publication date: September 4, 2014Applicant: TARGET BRANDS, INC.Inventors: Deborah B.

Patent number: 8819817Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that maintain one or more data stores capable of storing local data in a device for loading a resource of a domain are described. The resource may be loaded to cause one or more data access operations on the data stores. Access to usage tracking data of the device from the domain may depend on at least one of the data access operations. The data access operations may be configured to block the usage tracking data of the device from the domain. The data access operations may be performed on the data stores for the loading of the resource. A web page may be presented to a user when the resource is successfully loaded.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian Croll, Darin B. Adler, Kevin W. Decker, Steven J. Falkenburg, Timothy G. Hatcher, Jing Jin, Donald D. Melton, Maciej Stachowiak, Samuel M. Weinig, Brian A. Weinstein

Publication number: 20140231287Abstract: A tray (100) for accommodating a coiled medical device, such as a catheter assembly (700), includes a first compartment (101), a second compartment (102), and a third compartment (103). The catheter assembly (700) and devices associated with a catheterization procedure, such as syringes (701,702) containing sterile water and lubricating jelly and a specimen container (703) can be disposed within the tray. A first barrier (105) and second barrier (106) separate the compartments. The barriers can have openings (121,122) therein to accommodate large syringes or to enable the first compartment (101) to be used as a lubricant applicator for the catheter. The first compartment (101) can include a stair-stepped contour (115) such that the syringes are held at different depths to facilitate ease of use. The various devices can be disposed within the tray (100) in accordance with their order of use in the catheterization procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: Medline Industries, Inc.Inventors: Jennifer E.

Patent number: 8752705Abstract: A packaging system includes a bottle, a ring, and a cap. The bottle defines a first end, a second end, and a cavity. The first end defines a neck having an opening providing access to the cavity. The ring is secured about the neck of the bottle, is spaced from the opening, and defines an exterior ring width measured between a front and a back of the ring. The cap is removably secured about the neck of the bottle. The cap defines an exterior cap width measured between a front and a back of the cap. The exterior cap width is substantially equal to the exterior ring width such when the cap is positioned adjacent the ring, the front of the ring and the front of the cap generally align and the back of the ring and the back of the cap generally align.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 17, 2014Assignee: Target Brands, Inc.Inventors: Deborah B.

Patent number: 8563689Abstract: The present invention includes methods of modulating cellular secretory processes. More specifically the present invention relates to modulating or reducing the release of inflammatory mediators from inflammatory cells by inhibiting the mechanism associated with the release of inflammatory mediators from the vesicles or granules in the inflammatory cells in a subject with a chronic inflammatory disease. In this regard, the present invention discloses an intracellular signaling mechanism that illustrates several novel intracellular targets for pharmacological intervention in disorders involving secretion of inflammatory mediators from vesicles in inflammatory cells. MANS peptide and active fragments thereof are useful in such methods.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2009Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignees: North Carolina State University, Biomarck Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.Inventors: Shuji Takashi, Indu Parikh, Kenneth B.
