  • Publication number: 20220153479
    Abstract: A modified consumer packaging for a viscous personal care product is disclosed that can be opened preferably along a longitudinal edge or circumferential section to bypass its traditional delivery port and allow a consumer to access and collect product that otherwise would be discarded. A first example of this concept is an otherwise conventional toothpaste tube that includes a pull tab to open the tube along a longitudinal edge. The pull tab and the longitudinal seam (which can include perforations or reduced thickness) can be covered with a protective tape or film, and accessed only when the tube is substantially evacuated. Once the pull tab is actuated, the tube opens and the interior of the tube is exposed to allow product to be removed that otherwise would be inaccessible.

  • Patent number: 10785749
    Abstract: A method, network node and wireless device for regulating paging of a wireless device in a wireless communication system are provided. According to one aspect, a method includes receiving at a current network node current enhanced paging identification, EPI, information. The EPI information includes an identification of the wireless device, an identification of a base station serving the wireless device, and a status of the wireless device as being one of a stationary device and a low mobility device. The method further includes receiving a paging request that identifies the wireless device and transmitting the paging request to only the base station serving the wireless device, as indicated by the current EPI information.

  • Patent number: 9813097
    Abstract: A phone case made of durable, high grade plastic, aluminum, or similar material in the form of a base and door is disclosed. The door is attached to the base with either an elongate hinge or first and second pins mounted in the base and about which the door pivots from an open to a closed position and back again. The base is designed to receive and seat the phone snugly therein, and is preferably shaped to enclose the phone in a substantially rigid and compact housing that conforms with the shape of the phone. The door preferably pivots from the lower portion of the base about the hinge, and a latching mechanism is positioned at the top of the base's opening to capture and secure the door when closed. The tolerances of the fit between the door and the base are such that moisture will not seep into the case when the door is closed.
