Publication number: 20180215523Abstract: Systems and methods for providing compostable food containers which preserve the quality of a food product for an extended duration of time, and which optionally allow for cooking of the food product therein. In some implementations, the food containers are sturdy, stackable, insulating, and require minimal or no manual labor to assemble. In some implementations, the food container includes a base and a cover which cooperate to form a closed chamber for supporting, protecting, insulating and optionally cooking a food product, such as a pizza. The base and cover may each be formed of a single layer of material including, but not limited to, molded sugarcane fiber (“bagasse”), molded wood fiber, molded bamboo fiber, molded paper or plastic.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2018Publication date: August 2, 2018Inventors: Casper W. Chiang, Douglas J. Minkler, Julia Collins, Alexander John Garden, Chester Wajda

Patent number: 9999757Abstract: The invention relates to applicators for applying a solution or other composition (e.g., an antiseptic composition) to skin of a patient. The applicator may include a container body having a proximal end, a distal end, and a frangible member disposed at the distal end of the body. The applicator includes a first position where the container body and frangible member are a unitary piece (e.g., blow molded as a single piece), and a second position when the frangible member is rotated relative to the body to irreversibly break a weak point therebetween, releasing the composition in the hollow body through an opening. A porous applicator head may be positioned adjacent the distal end of the body and frangible member, so that the composition flows out the body, through the opening, and onto the head. The applicator may be formed in a blow-fill-seal process for improved sterility and ease of manufacture.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Medline Industries, Inc.Inventors: Casper W. Chiang, Benjamin Ma

Publication number: 20150374729Abstract: The invention relates to methods and kits for use in reducing microbial counts on a patient's skin prior to surgery. Such a kit may be sealed, and include a dry substrate, a container of antiseptic composition, a tray with recessed portion(s), and a cover in sealing contact with a top rim of the tray to seal the contents in the tray. Such a kit may include two (e.g., identical) trays, which are initially attached to one another, each tray providing contents sufficient for one use (e.g., one use within 2 hours of the scheduled surgery, and a prior use done earlier (e.g., the night before). The related method may include providing the kit, removing the cover, dosing the substrate with the antiseptic composition in the tray's recessed region, and using the dosed substrate to apply the composition to skin proximate a location of the invasive procedure to be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2014Publication date: December 31, 2015Applicant: THE CLOROX COMPANYInventors: John Glauber, Matthew Harrington, Casper W.

Publication number: 20030089791Abstract: A visual indicator microporous membrane that provides controlled-release of active ingredients, and prevents formulation leakage for use such as with an insecticidal or fragrance emanator device. During use, the semiporous membrane visually indicates transmission of active ingredient vapor to the consumer. These micropores that are normally opaque become saturated and turn from opaque to clear when in use, and when additional volatile material remains. Upon depletion of the volatile material from the reservoir and subsequently from the membrane, the membrane turns opaque again. In a preferred embodiment, the container comprises a protective shield at least partially covering the porous membrane.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2001Publication date: May 15, 2003Inventors: Yong S. Chen, Casper W. Chiang

Patent number: 5875797Abstract: Improved dental flosses include two or more components selected to provide desired properties to the floss. The improved flosses may comprise one or a plurality of multicomponent filaments, each filament including an inner core selected to provide strength to the floss, and an outer layer selected to provide a desired surface property. The improved flosses also may comprise one or a plurality of core filaments embedded in a single body sheath. The filament component provides desirable physical properties to the floss, such as tensile strength, while a floss body sheath component provides desirable surface properties.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1996Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: Gillette Canada Inc.Inventors: Casper W.
