Abstract: 15A sealing closure for use with a container includes a top wall, an annular skirt, and a resiliently flexible annular flange. The annular skirt extends downwardly from the top wall. The annular flange extends downwardly from the top wall and radially outwardly toward the annular skirt. One or more stop ribs can be provided extending downwardly from the top wall and radially inwardly from the annular skirt to limit upward deflection of the annular flange.

Abstract: An adaptor cap for a container. The adaptor cap includes a skirt constructed to engage a fluid container and to retain the adaptor cap on the fluid container. The adaptor cap further includes a dome projecting outwardly from said skirt. The dome defines an interior chamber. The dome further defines a spike port providing fluid communication between the chamber and an exterior environment of the dome, the spike port being constructed to receive and retain a hollow spike therein. The dome also defines at least one vent aperture therethrough, the vent aperture providing fluid communication between the chamber and the exterior environment of the dome. The adaptor cap further includes a microbial filter mounted on the dome across the vent aperture.

Abstract: An automated open topped apparatus and improved method for cleaning soil from metal parts which employs a low vapor tension, low density, LVTC, liquid cleaner in a first tank and a high vapor tension, higher density, immiscible rinse, HVTR, liquid in a second tank and a rinse vapor zone above both tanks in the apparatus which provides steps and means for preventing rinse vapor loss during shut down periods by using microprocessor controlled steps that cause a layer of the liquid cleaner to be positioned atop and cover the liquid rinse in its tank and at the end of the idle period returns the liquid cleaner cover to the first tank and re-starts the cleaning process and thereafter monitors and controls cleaning operation until the succeeding shut down period.

Abstract: A stopper assembly for sealing the open end of a container and usable with a blunt entry device includes an elastomeric stopper having an annular flange portion, a hollow plug portion, and a thin diaphragm portion, the flange portion covering and abutting the open end of the container, the plug portion depending from the inner circumference of the flange portion and sealingly engaging the interior of the open end of the container, and the diaphragm portion spanning the center portion of the annular flange portion. A metal ferrule for securing the stopper to the container has an annular top portion and an annular skirt portion for engagement with the exterior of the container.

Abstract: Medical drug formulation and delivery system includes a reverse osmosis device for purifying water from a source comprising a housing having an inlet for passage of water from the source, a first outlet for passage of purified water from the housing and a second outlet for passage of waste water remaining after purification. A first reverse osmosis multilayer assembly is disposed within the housing in fluid communication with the inlet for purification of at least a first portion of the water from the source. Water treatment chemicals can be positioned in a core about which the first reserve osmosis multilayer assembly is wound. The treatment chemicals are in fluid communication with the first reverse osmosis multilayer assembly to receive the first purified portion of water and for removal of at least chemical contaminants therefrom.

Abstract: A retainer is used in combination with two tubular flow connectors to prevent the inadvertent disconnection of I.V. tubing sets. The retainer includes at least one open collar having a flexible opening so as to be radially and securely attachable adjacent to an increased diameter portion on a tubing connector. A pair of parallel straps connects the collar with an axially pivotable joint so as to facilitates easy manipulation and engagement of the retainer.

Abstract: An aqueous copolymer emulsion comprising a copolymer consisting essentially of vinyl chloride, ethylene and up to 10 wt % hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate colloidally dispersed in an aqueous medium. The copolymer demonstrates improved solvent resistance and metal adhesion, especially to low energy films.
