  • Publication number: 20220057290
    Abstract: A flexible lid seal detector incorporates a compression body having a cavity including a sensor. The detector has a distal end comprising a plurality of concentric compression rings surrounding the cavity. An outer-most ring is defined by outer and inner shaping rims. The distal end includes a recessed lid deflection volume defined by the inner rim and a distal surface of the compression body. The deflection volume may receive a portion of a flexible lid when at least one of the rings applies a compressive force thereto, thereby deforming the lid into the deflection volume. The deflection volume may include a second compression ring and its respective inner and outer shaping rims. A seal detector system may include the detector with a controller configured to receive data from the sensor for a predetermined period of time while the detector applies the compressive force to the lid.

  • Publication number: 20210308072
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a combination of two different cannabinoids in the treatment of leukaemia. The combination of CBD with THC appears to be particularly effective in reducing cell number in this disease. Preferably the cannabinoids are used in the form of an extract of cannabis such that many of the naturally occurring compounds are co-extracted with the THC or CBD. Alternatively, the cannabinoids are present in the form of a highly purified extract of cannabis, wherein the CBD or THC are present at greater than 98% of the total extract (w/w) and the other components of the extract are characterized. Alternatively, the CBD and THC may be synthetically produced. A specific ratio of CBD and THC such as 10:1 to 1:10 (CBD:THC) or more preferably between 2:1 to 1:2 (CBD:THC) may be used.

  • Publication number: 20210205262
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ASD-associated disorders, such as Fragile X syndrome (FXS); Rett syndrome (RS); or Angelman syndrome (AS).
