Abstract: An upright product outlet bag evacuation packaging (100, 200) includes a flexible, collapsible bag (101, 201) and a spout (116, 216) that contains and dispenses a liquid (118, 218). The bag (101, 201) includes a first wall (102, 202) and a second wall (104, 204) that are operatively connected by a seam (106, 206). When the bag (101, 201) is filled with liquid (118, 218), the first wall (102, 202) and the second wall (104, 204) are pushed away from one another thereby pulling a first side (109, 209) inward and causing an indentation (114, 214) to form. The indentation (114, 214) hinders flush contact between the first wall (102, 202) and the second wall (104, 204) as the bag (101, 201) progressively collapses as the liquid (118, 218) is dispensed. A housing (300, 400) for use with a dispenser may be used to create and reinforce the indentation (114, 214). The housing (300, 400) includes a cavity (303, 403) configured and arranged to receive the bag (101, 201).

Abstract: A toothpaste dispenser capable of dispensing individual quantity controlled amounts of toothpaste in a sanitary manner without the possibility of cross contamination. The dispenser includes an elongated strip having a plurality of one time use sachets formed integrally therewith, each sachet containing a measured quantity of toothpaste therein suitable for a single use. The strip is provided with weakened portions so that individually numbered sachets may detached from the strip. The individual sachets may be opened after they are detached from the strip and the contents may be squeezed out. In addition, the sachets may be color coded which is useful when the usage of more than one child is being monitored. A parent may monitor the usage of the individual sachets by reviewing the number, and if more than one child is in the family, the color of the emptied sachet.

The secondary agitating wheel is arranged to gear on the main agitating wheel and the two wheels are vertically offset so that the main wheel is arranged to act in a downward rotation closer to a first terminal wall whereas the secondary wheel is arranged to act in a downward rotation closer to the second terminal wall.

Abstract: Liquid material is precisely dispensed to a semiconductor processing tool utilizing closed loop control. In one embodiment, CMP slurry material of known density is supplied from a reservoir/mixing vessel to a dispense module. The dispense module also receives a flow of an inert gas through a gas supply valve. Positive pressure arising within the dispense module due to the inert gas flow causes an outflow of slurry from the dispense module to the CMP platen. The rate of flow of the slurry to the CMP platen over time is determined by monitoring the change (decline) in weight of the filled dispense module. In a similar manner, variation in the rate of flow of slurry over time may be detected by monitoring variation in changes in weight of the filled dispense module over time. A regulator structure in electronic communication with the dispense module and with the gas supply valve receives first signals at different time points indicating the weight change of the dispense module.

Abstract: A self metering dispensing device for dispensing a predetermined quantity of material from an aerosol container. First and second actuating members are pivotally connected to a housing for the container and a nozzle actuating member is connected to the first actuating member. A pneumatic member in the form of a cylinder with a piston or a telescoping valve is operatively associated with the first and second actuating members.
