  • Patent number: 11912478
    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for a dosage reminder indicator for containers, allowing a user to align a dosage reminder (e.g., “last” or “next”) with timing indicators (e.g., days, times). In one embodiment, an inner dial has first engaging members and an outer ring has second engaging members mating with the first engaging members, where a dosage reminder indicator and a plurality of dosage timing indicators are opposingly located on either the inner dial or outer ring. The inner dial and the outer ring are rotatably engaged with respect to each other such that the dosage reminder indicator points to any selected one of the plurality of dosage timing indicators in a secured position (when the first and second engaging members are mated), where rotation is permitted based on user-applied force to disengage mating of the first and second engaging members, while the inner dial and the outer ring remain rotatably engaged.

  • Patent number: 10664868
    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for synchronizing communications between two disparate computing systems. A context capture module is configured to capture interactions of a first computing system with an application to determine a current context of the first computing system's interactions. A communications initiation engine is configured to determine one of a plurality of other computing systems is to be queried for communication with the first computing system. When one of the other computing systems is to be queried, an initiation communication is provided to a particular one of the other computing systems, where the initiation communication includes data describing the current context of the first computing system's interactions. An availability indication is received from the particular other computing system. A communications module is configured to facilitate communications between the first computing system and the particular other computing system.

  • Patent number: 5085831
    Abstract: An apparatus to continuously measure the level of a water treatment product added to boiler feedwater for prevention of scale formation in boiler tubes, which includes a pump turbidimeter analyzer receiving a sample of the treated boiler feedwater and mixing it with a reagent to produce turbidity in the sample that is photometrically measured to determine product level.

  • Patent number: 5061634
    Abstract: A method to continuously measure the level of a water treatment product in boiler feedwater. The product, which includes a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylate and a copolymer of acrylic acid and sodium vinyl sulphonate, is added to the feedwater to prevent the formation of scale in the boiler tubes. The method comprises reacting a sample of the feedwater with a reagent to produce turbidity in the sample and further mixing the newly reacted sample with a portion of previously measured reacted sample. The mixture of previously measured reacted sample and newly reacted sample are then photometrically measured in a pump turbidimeter analyzer to determine the level of product in the feedwater.

  • Patent number: 4992380
    Abstract: The performance of a treating agent added to a body of water employed in a cooling tower is continuously monitored by real-time analysis of a spectral or chemical characteristic of an inert tracer proportioned to the treating agent, said characteristic being indicative of tracer concentration, and converted to a voltage analog. The voltage analog is compared to a monitor value representing par performance and if performance is nonstandard (nonpar) a signal is generated which alters the output of a pump which feeds the dosage of treating agent containing proportioned tracer.
