Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a medicine dispenser with a built-in dispensing schedule. In this embodiment, a cylindrical container with a close-fitting disk-shaped cap having a cylindrical rim includes an inner schedule display, one day-and-time indication of which is displayed to a medicine consumer through an aperture in the cap rim. Features included in the cap, schedule display, and cylindrical container interoperates to ensure that the displayed day-and-time indication is advanced when the cap is removed and replaced. The displayed day-and-time indication is relatively large and clear, to facilitate viewing by vision-impaired users, and the schedule-advancement mechanism is robust and reliable. In addition, the cap and built-in schedule display include features that allow the displayed day-and-time indication to be set to an initial day-and-time indication.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods to permanently attach fuel delivery system components to fuel tanks are described herein. An example apparatus includes an insert material integrally formed with at least a portion of the fuel tank. The insert material includes a first layer material having a low permeation characteristic and a second layer material adjacent the first layer material having a relatively lower melting point than a melting point of the first layer material to enable permanent attachment of a coupling apparatus to a surface of the fuel tank by melting at least a portion of the second layer material.

Abstract: Reservoirs for fuel tanks, which can be filled via an opening that can be closed by a closing element, are already known. Such a closing element interacts with a sealing seat and is arranged on a bearing that is located in the region of the opening and is fixed to an edge area of the opening by at least two struts. In prior art, the opening, with the bearing and the struts, is often produced as a single-piece together with the reservoir and the base by injection molding. A disadvantage thereof is that the struts can undergo material shrinkage during production, which leads to a tension of the struts between the edge area of the opening and the bearing. This can lead to an irregular deformation and hence to an uneven sealing seat, so that the closing element does not seal in a tight manner and that the valve has a leak. in the reservoir according to the invention, the sealing of the opening is improved by at least one strut not having a rectilinear form, thus obtaining elastic expansion compensation.

The first resilient member may drive the clipping member to slide from the unlock position to the lock position.

Abstract: A fastener cartridge can comprise a compressible, collapsible, and/or crushable cartridge body and fasteners embedded within the cartridge body which can be utilized to fasten tissue. In use, the fastener cartridge can be positioned in a first jaw of a surgical fastening device, wherein the first jaw can be positioned opposite a second jaw, or anvil. The anvil can be engaged with the fastener cartridge to compress, collapse, and/or crush the cartridge body and deform, or otherwise deploy, the fasteners contained therein. As the fasteners are deformed or deployed, the fasteners can capture at least a portion of the cartridge body therein along with at least a portion of the tissue being fastened. In various embodiments, the cartridge body can comprise a plurality of bioabsorbable layers. These bioabsorbable layers can be comprised of materials which can be bioabsorbed at different rates.

Abstract: A container has a body defining a compartment and a discharge opening. A material is provided within the compartment. A sealing assembly in a sealed state blocks communication of the material from the compartment to and through the discharge opening. A first assembly is provided for reconfiguring the sealing assembly to an operative state to establish a communication path from the compartment to and through the discharge opening. The first assembly has at least a first component that is movable guidingly relative to the body between: a) a storage position; and b) an operative position. The sealing assembly is changeable from the sealed state into the operative state as an incident of the at least first component moving from the storage position into the operative position without the at least first component fully separating from the body.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a securing system (500). The securing system (500) is comprised of a first device having a first opening, and a first connecting portion formed at or frangibly connected to the periphery of the first opening; and a second device having a second opening, and a second connecting portion formed at the periphery of the second opening. The first connecting portion is engaged with the second connecting portion for connecting the first opening with the second opening. The first connecting portion is essentially configured to non-reattachably deform, or frangibly detached from the periphery of the first opening, when the first device is caused to be disconnected from the second device at the connected first and second openings for disabling the first device from being re-attachable with the second device at the first and second openings.
