  • Patent number: 11787735
    Abstract: A glass container comprises a glass body comprising a first region under a compressive stress extending from a surface of the glass body to a depth of compression and a second region extending from the depth of compression into a thickness of the glass body, the second region being under a tensile stress. The glass container also includes a localized compressive stress region having a localized compressive stress extending from the surface to a localized depth of compression within the body. The localized depth of compression is greater than the depth of compression of the first region. The glass container also includes a crack re-direction region extending in a predetermined propagation direction, wherein the crack re-direction region possesses a higher tensile stress than the tensile stress in the second region in a sub-region of the crack re-direction region, the sub-region extending substantially perpendicular to the predetermined propagation direction.

  • Patent number: 11779198
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a package for a capsule endoscope. The package includes an inner package. The inner package includes a base and a cover arranged above the base. A first end of the cover is connected to a first side of the base and a second end of the cover is connected to a second side of the base in an assembled mode. When the second end of the cover is assembled and connected to the second side of the base, the bottom surface of the cover and the base form an holding slot for holding the capsule endoscope. Through such arrangement, the present invention improves the existing package and avoids a reduction of performance of the capsule endoscope during transportation.

  • Patent number: 11759278
    Abstract: A protective cover (800) for a medical device includes a body (700) and a cap (100) that is selectively attachable to the body. The cap 100 includes an annulus 101 and a rounded vault (102) spanning an interior portion (118) of the annulus. The rounded vault defines a convex exterior (301). A plurality of partial arch trusses (103,104,105,106,107,108,109) extends from the annulus along the convex exterior toward an apex (601) of the convex exterior. Distal ends (613,614,615,616,617,618,619) of the plurality of partial arch trusses define an interstice (611) at the apex. The partial arch trusses provide longitudinal deflection of impact forces to protect the medical device.
